; Exposition Figure 1. multi-robot inspection cell control architecture This paper is the result of an advanced PLC class project for master students in mechatronics. In the course, this assignment is designed to allow groups of students to think creatively, and gain experience in authoring research publications. The rate of papers that are published is about 40%, as previous publications show [7-11]. Typically, each paper is written by a group of 4 or 5 students. Since this is a new experience for most students, the assignment is divided into three stages. First, a project proposal is due a few weeks into the course (week 3 of 15). In this stage, students form groups, brain storm a project, then write a proposal in the form

Thefaculty and staff team that developed the current program chose to focus on students who werewithin their last five semesters of completing their STEM degrees. They had observed asignificant number of students who persisted in STEM majors, while also carrying an extensivenon-academic workload in order to shoulder the financial burden of attending college. Theirworkload not only affected their ability to excel academically but also interfered with theirability to take advantage of high impact practice (HIP) experiences such as undergraduateresearch.

For example, some students will becomesoftware developers in the context of engineering applications. These individuals will requiremore education in computing, perhaps a minor or even a double degree. The introductorycomputing course in engineering should not attempt to redirect these students away fromcomputer science; rather, it should open the door.Since valid arguments can be made for the five areas of need listed above, it becomes a challengeto design an introductory computing experience that balances and, at least in part, satisfies theneeds.

Thesurvey included questions related to online medical systems, and physicians’ willingnessto use systems like PIMS. The following is analysis of the results from this survey. Fromthese results it can be understood that 75% of physicians accept to use as well asencourage patients to use this system. Further analysis of the gathered data reveals that83% of physicians who have ten to fourteen years of experience showed willingness touse PIMS. However, 60% of physicians with twenty or more years of experiencedeclined the use of such system. This analysis is presented in Figure 4. 18 16
