These did not causeissues during startup or with the performance of the autonomy but did cause concern for thestudents when the readouts did not show reasonable readings.The students felt the smartphone interface worked well, with one exception. The students wererequired to run a few short terminal commands to start the applications on the Pi, which thestudents felt uncomfortable with. This also led to students occasionally starting components inthe wrong order, creating the communication errors. Future revisions will remove thisrequirement.One other major issue was the accuracy of

Another issue is the confidential nature of some of the industry-sponsoredprojects. In some cases, teams will develop products or processes that may ultimately bepatented. The present study provided an opportunity to address this issue with students. Forexample, some teams were using unsecured cloud-based applications for collaborativeauthorship and communication about project activities. Some of these applications were free tothe students, but the hosting firm’s policies noted that all content uploaded by the students wasowned by the hosting firm.

As a result, the shortage of qualified professionals can beaddressed by introducing a refined curriculum framework. However, developing a new courseis time-consuming and resource-intensive due to several considerations, for example, theaccreditation issues.

Whether the decision was a conscious effort by instructors from schoolssuch as L’Ecole Beaux Arts or out of the necessity to transfer responsibility of design to theengineers who developed and worked with new materials, the result was a gradual shift in thedefinition of architectural design from a practical or applied expression of form to the purelyaesthetic expression that many architecture faculty embrace through design studio pedagogytoday
