The simulation includes dynamic control of single degree of freedomholonomic transportation systems, trains, where simulation is required to execute synchronizedwith real-time using monotonic sequencing of thread execution.The single degree-of-freedom holonomic simulation has been designed to include displayed plotsshowing: 1) train speed, 2) train odometry, 3) position on track between stations. The simplephysical intuition of the simulation is intended to help students think critically about theconsequences of monitoring and to better control service scheduling. The services they mustschedule and integrate are: 1) Acceleration/Braking Control, 2) Speed Monitoring, 3) Odometry.They must observe the computation load

[2]. It was found thatself-efficacy was largely shaped by mastery and vicarious experiences, in which either thesubjects themselves mastered a task or encountered someone else mastering a task. The beliefswere also shaped by social persuasions, where interactions with teammates, professors, andteaching assistants could all influence how a student viewed their abilities [3].Historically, engineering has been a field predominantly filled with men. This has shaped a lot ofpublic perception of engineering as a male space and field, and can lead to women in engineeringhaving very different perceptions than their male counterparts. Research has consistently shownthat female engineering students entering college often have lower confidence in
extracurricular ventures, creating a disconnect betweeninnovation opportunities and manufacturing education. This gap is especially pronounced in industrialengineering, where courses rarely focus on new product development (NPD), a critical step in bridgingtheory and practical implementation.This initiative builds on established educational theories emphasizing the benefits of experiential learningin fostering creativity and entrepreneurial skills. Studies highlight that integrating entrepreneurialeducation in engineering programs not only improves technical competence but also prepares students forreal-world challenges by enhancing their problem-solving abilities and entrepreneurial identity (Bielefeldtet al., 2018).3.

A 2020 report from Tenable, a leading ITvulnerability assessment and management solution company, indicates that there were 18,358vulnerabilities reported in 2020, a slight increase from the 17,305 reported in 2019 [4]. Despiteincreased tracking and abatement of software vulnerabilities, Gueye and Mell [5] report that themost prevalent software errors have not changed much since vulnerabilities were first cataloged. Indeed, MITRE [6] lists the top three software vulnerabilities as: 1. Improper Neutralization of Input on Webpage Generation (cross-site scripting) 2. Out-of-bounds write (buffer overflow) 3.

each of the 18 zones and two Watermark Granular Matrix Sensors(GMS) wereembedded within the top three inches of the surface spread across the zone to monitor the soilmoisture status of the zone. Each node also has an internal and external temperature sensor. Ingeneral, each node can be wired to three soil moisture sensors, a rain gauge, and an irrigation on-off switch. Future plans include attaching rain gauge sensors to one or two nodes and irrigationswitches to all of the nodes. Watermark Soil Moisture Sensors are about 3 inches long (Figure 2)and are normally inserted in the ground vertically. The resistance of GMS sensors decreases withwetness. As the soil dries out, the sensor dries out, and resistance to the flow of electricityincreases

Graduates can find abundant employment opportunitiesin automotive and aerospace manufacturing, machine tool companies, the packaging industry,system integrators, nuclear power companies, and robotic manufacturers [6, 7].Overview Since 2010, the demand for industrial robots has accelerated considerably due to theongoing trend toward automation and continued innovative technical improvements in industrialrobots. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) statistical department,“Between 2011 and 2016, the average robot sales increase was at 12% per year (compound annualgrowth rate (CAGR)). The number of robot installations had never increased so heavily before.Between 2005 and 2008, the average annual number of

insights in how studentconfidence relates to achieving student learning outcomes. In 2017, an internal assessment studywas conducted in the Engineering Mathematics classroom at the United States Military Academy(USMA), specifically to investigate the effects of confidence on performance. The intent of theexperience was to determine if one may identify alternative measures of assessment for studentperformance. Several student categories were identified analogous to the groups described in theSocratic Paradox, i.e. based upon a student’s assessment on whether they know or do not knowthe material. In the following section, background information on the course and the studentenvironment are given. Then, in section 3, a review of the pedagogical

corresponding conclusions will be used in some other meetings. It requires incremental implementation design for effectively connecting functional meetings [17]. 3. SCRUM: Scrum is an agile framework that promotes test-first and continuous integration in order to meet customers’ needs efficiently [17], [24]. Scrum framework promotes producing products faster by breaking large development projects into smaller pieces that can be completed in short timeframes. Examples of Scrum meetings include daily standups, sprint planning sessions, and sprint retrospectives [24]. Both XP and SCRUM emphasize continuously communicating with the users or clients in meetings [17], [24]. Students would meet with people affected by
