Areas thatwere covered ranged from engineering design to operator training to media coverage andgovernmental responses. At SL-1, three operators were killed when they accidentally triggered asteam explosion in the reactor. There was total secrecy applied to this disaster. At Three MileIsland, there was a reactor meltdown triggered in large part by operator training and workplacedesign. The media covered the incident, in which there were no injuries, extensively and (somewould say) at times hysterically.

The experience also providesour new instructors a much higher maturity and experience level before the first semesterbegins and prevents on-the-job training from interfering with the students’ education. The Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering (CME) ensures that theirnew faculty are prepared to teach by administering an in-depth six-week trainingprogram. New faculty are so well prepared that students rarely can tell that they are brandnew faculty teaching their first semester.

Therefore, many collegesand universities are strategizing ways to provide students with hands-on experiences to developthe needed practical skills in industry. One of the pillars of I4.0 is human-machine interactionwhich includes robotics and automation. Undergraduate degrees need to provide appliedknowledge of robots that use modern controllers and other integrated hardware rather than theclassic robotic design. The curriculum should provide the students with real-world experienceswith real hardware.

There are three stages of the automated highway that will be tested. The first stage is tohave each vehicle operate independently but with its own automated lane keeping, cruisecontrol, and collision avoidance systems. The next stage is the "cooperative vehicle" stage whereeach car would talk electronically to those around it so they could slow down, speed up, orchange lanes to accommodate actions planned by another vehicle.

Unlike an online class, an IC includes face-to-face time with the instructor inclassroom or laboratory setting where the material learned outside of class is discussed andapplied. The IC allows an educator to present course material in several different formats, and soengages the different learning styles and preferences of students. The IC format encouragesstudents to become self-learners and help prepare them for how they will need to learn aspracticing engineers.
