Two former members are pursuing higher education, one of which isalso employed.There is a wide range of knowledge and skills gained by former members of the Robosub team.Some of these include computer vision knowledge (machine learning, image processing,computer vision libraries such as OpenCV, architecture and design patterns with ROS),knowledge of Arduino microcontrollers, circuit analysis, electronic design, knowledge ofmaterials, fabrication processes, prototyping and 3D printing, and analysis with commonengineering software such as SolidWorks and MATLAB. For instance, one former team
. CAMP students would lead projects for national competitions.A key philosophy of manufacturing and design education at the School of Mines has been to putin place industrial equipment and software and to use it much as it would be used in industry.7Modern design methodology is used on all projects. Full engineering models are developed forall competition vehicles and commercial industrial software packages are used for analysis andmanufacturing. Solidworks is typically used to develop the models. Algor is used for finiteelement analysis of solids and Fluent is used for fluids. Mastercam is used to develop the CNCmachine code. Working Model 3D is used for dynamic analysis. The Advanced ManufacturingLab has a FADAL VMC 40 vertical machining

Efed uses teaching tools effectively No matter how many times Efed teaches the same course, he keeps on improving histeaching methods to make him more effective. Efed continually learns new ways of teaching vianew textbooks, continuing education classes, education articles, and new multimedia resources. Nowadays, there are many tools available to Efed to make teaching effective. Theseinclude multimedia presentation software, videos, Internet, mathematical packages, andinteractive educational software. He uses these tools only when it improves the

Thefaculty team assessed the quality of these techniques and determined what was missingfrom the ASCE ExCEEd Teaching Model within the distance education products. Basedon the assessment by the faculty, the team determined what adjustments in teaching stylewere needed to increase the quality of instruction using the available distance educationplatform. The ultimate goal was to provide the best quality instruction no matter themedium. The real challenge will be laboratory lessons where the students usually need tosee the

In this paper, syllabi ofthose courses are briefly discussed with each case example of the class projects [Dresselhaus2011].2. Design Education Courses for Mechanical Eng. These courses are primarily for undergraduate students in Mechanical Engineering, but
students. The supported topics include datacollection, feedback control, various sensors, networking, and human interfaces. Educationalactivities include laboratory work and small projects.IntroductionA computation platform is the backbone of any introductory course focused on mechatronicsand/or modern controls. The number of available platforms easily reaches into the thousands.However for the purposes of education there are a few wise alternatives. The typical selectioncriteria for these systems are: • Cost for hardware and software; • Programming knowledge and student prerequisites; • Capabilities; • Electronic interfacing complexity and options; • Built in capabilities and functions
Robotics as a Vehicle for Engineering Education Gregory E. Needel Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, NY 14623An important factor in an engineering education is the students' ability to apply their theoreticalknowledge to solving real world problems. Unfortunately, many schools are unable to providefull laboratories for experimental experiences due to a variety of constraints. This is a seriousproblem for educators who wish to provide practical learning for their students. One of the morecommonly employed methods of providing a “hands-on” approach to learning is through the useof educational

Each student will have a desk with a multimedia, networkedcomputer. The professor will have a similar system with the ability to display on a large screen from any of thesystems. The use of groupware products will also be investigated for educational use. Systems will all have aconsistent set of software tools including World Wide Web and library access. A classroom with 25 to 30computer seats using workstation level machines is required.The computer stations are only a portion of the complete technology classroom.

engineering problems as being the most important 1. In aneffort to meet ABET accreditation standards and to better prepare engineering graduates,engineering education programs have been implementing a variety of forms of problem-based learning (PBL). In fact, several engineering programs around the world (e.g., AalborgUniversity on Denmark, McMasters University in Canada, Monash University in Australia,Manchester University in England, Glasgow University in Scotland, Eindhoven University inthe Netherlands, and Republic Polytechnic in Singapore) deliver the majority of theircurricula via PBL. Additionally, PBL modules or courses have been implemented innumerous engineering programs, including biomedical engineering 2, chemical engineering 3,software

The Hemisson costs $250 per kit withoutsoftware7 and the Amigobot sells with its software suite for $3,095. The LEGO MindstormsNXT retails for $279.95 with the software sold separately10. Also without software, TETRIXretails for $871.95 for the basic kit11 and the most inexpensive VEX Robotics Design System kitcosts $399.9923. The iRobot Create is the least expensive example at $129.99 each9.PaperBotsWith those costs and the available funds for them in mind, a new educational technology wasdesigned.

Thisresearch underscores the need for further exploration of AI-based educational tools like ChatGPTto optimize their integration into engineering curricula, ultimately enhancing the quality ofeducation in the field. Balancing the advantages and challenges is essential for maximizing thebenefits of integrating AI in engineering education.IntroductionArtificial intelligence (AI) is known as a computer-controlled robot from software and hardwaretools that imitate intelligent human behavior and thinking. It is built from seven domains, whichconsists of machine learning, language processing, text to speech, computer vision, robotics,planning systems, and expert systems.

learningapproaches do not always work. Simulation software can be used to form a virtual lab that allowsstudents to explore. However, learning the simulation software is as hard, if not harder, aslearning the concepts in transportation engineering itself. An intuitive interface between thesimulation software and the students is needed. Customized developed games can be a goodinterface to show the students enough but not too much information with pleasant learningexperience.Our Lab has been actively developing transportation education games. There are five games thathave been developed in this game suite. These games target concepts in pavement design,highway design, traffic safety, traffic control, and traffic planning.
