“pitfalls” which may be encountered. Manufacturingeducators are encouraged to carefully plan to use IMM systems as an aid to teaching their classes. The explosive growth in the capabilities of personal computers has helped bring thecomputer into nearly every facet of the operation of a business. Manufacturing educators haveused computers as tools to solve industrial problems for years. Computer instruction onprogramming and the use of software packages is a major element of accredited programs inmanufacturing engineering technology. Manufacturing laboratories at a two year or four yearinstitution use computers for engineering design, manufacturing planning and control,calculations and productivity analysis, quality control, cost analysis

LESSONS LEARNED AND FUTURE DIRECTIONSIn this paper, we have explored issues in adapting a research-based assessment technique toclassroom practice. Using software we developed to address the challenges of the classroomenvironment, we were able to explore the validity and the feasibility of the use of StructuralAssessment to support engineering design education. Without any changes, we feel that theStructural Assessment process, conducted with tools like the ones we have built, offersinstructors an additional tool for their assessment toolbox. At the same time, some suggestionsfor enhancing our software and proposed process to even more fluidly support the StructuralAssessment process

AR relies on surface patterns already stored in the database of the application(predefined patterns). This pattern can be a logo on a piece of paper and once the camera ispointed to the logo, the software will recognize and compare the pattern with the one stored inthe database. This predefined pattern will become the surface where the 3D virtual models willbe projected on. Software is programmed to create tracking points on the predefined patterntherefore once the paper is moved in front of the camera, the virtual object will be continuouslytracked on the piece of paper.

solution is a new cloud service known as HPC-as-a-Service.In this paper, we present an HPCaaS platform called ASETS which uses Software DefinedNetworking (SDN) technologies to smooth the execution of parallel tasks in the cloud. Further,we provide application examples that could be used in a typical introductory parallel programingcourse. We argue that HPCaaS platform like ASETS can significantly benefit the users of HPCin the cloud as if their program is running on a dedicated hardware in their own laboratory. Thisis especially advantageous for students and educators who need not to deal with the underlyingcomplexities of the cloud.1.

This paper describes the model, which applies amulti-level, model-based process improvement model widely used in the software systemsengineering, called the Capability Maturity Model (CMM), to Engineering Education. Model-based process improvement uses a model to guide the improvement of an organization’sprocesses and aims to increase the capability of work processes. Process capability is theinherent ability of a process to produce planned results. This paper presents an overview of theCMM and proposes three CMM-based models for

Realizing this, universities are now starting to offer undergraduate and graduate degreesin robotics. Worldwide, there are now approximately 10 undergraduate programs and an equalnumber of graduate programs in robotics. Roughly half of each are in the United States; theother half are distributed globally.Beyond the broad technical education required of robotics engineers, to be an effective roboticsengineer also requires an awareness of social and societal issues. These issues are global inscope. This leads to our main theses: 1) Robotics engineering
