IHS Automotive predicts that the number of autonomous cars will grow from 230,000 inthe year 2025 to 11.8 million by the year 2030 to 54 million by the year 2035, to virtually all carsand trucks by the year 2050 [1]. In 2014, Induct Technology started experimenting with theworld’s first commercially available driverless vehicle- an open air minibus for college andcorporate campuses that can top out at 12 mph.

The faculty advisors are available to advise the studentsduring the lecture, studio/ lab, and outside of the scheduled class times.The beginning of a typical lecture period is used to review expectations for the upcoming week and therequirements for the upcoming deliverables (submittal requirements, deadlines, presentations, and thefinal report). Following the course update, a topic related to an engineering design project is discussedby one of the faculty advisors. See Figure 2 for a typical lecture schedule. Sufficient time is allowed ineach lecture period to answer general questions the students may have.The studio/ lab is held in an oversized open space studio with individual space assigned to each

To achieve the learning objectives, there is very little down time and little to no slackor float time. Because of this, the faculty team still feels that the 4:1 student to faculty ratio isappropriate for this type of travel. With this 4:1 ratio, the group can continue with scheduledactivities even when one or two faculty members are called to assist an ill, lost, or otherwisedelayed student.

One-day seminars for K-12 teachers will be conducted at bothMichigan Tech and Bay College. During the seminar, participants will: 1) learn concepts ofindustrial robotics; 2) learn the basics of programming FANUC industrial robots; 3) try therobotic software “RobotRun”; and 4) work with faculty to consider ways the software can beintegrated into the K-12 curriculum.

While they are all verydifferent models, all but one assumes the general model that products come and go. This articlebrings together the various models of the product life cycle in one reading, which mightencourage resolution of the deep conflicts among these perspectives as well as be helpful tostudents studying design. We end by suggesting a meta-model of the product life cycle thatwould allow designers to see all the perspectives simultaneously and even to add new ones.This review should improve a student’s ability to communicate effectively with others about thedevelopment and operation of technology, and also to understand how

teacher certification to engineering students. A small, butgrowing number of engineering colleges are offering general engineering degrees combined with K-12teaching certification.26 Very recent research is underway to actually assess which programs are effective for learning andstimulating interest to pursue STEM fields in college. It is intended to be the first step in evaluating theability of K-12 outreach programs to prepare students to study engineering in college30. This study wasconcerned with the association between types of engineering exposure (e.g., class, field trip, summercamp, etc.) and engineering self-efficacy.

As such, REUs remain popular options for biomedical engineering studentsseeking to bolster their curriculum vitae for admittance to graduate and medical school. REUs havebeen shown to influence the career decisions of participating students (i.e., influencing the student’sidentity) and also positively impact the acquisition of technical and communication skills (Lopatto,2007

Similarly, the operation ofmultiplication (denoted by an operation symbol x) is another mathematical operation that takesany two numbers (a and b) and produces a third number (c = a x b).Likewise, discrete convolution (denoted by an operation symbol *) is defined as a mathematicaloperation that takes any two digital signals or sequences (represented as {x[n]} and {h[n]}) andproduces a third digital signal or sequence ( {y[n]} = {x[n]} * {h[n] } ). Here, in general terms,any digital signal or sequence is represented by {s[n]}. It is a collection of sequentially indexedand ordered set of numbers, i.e., {s[n]} = {…, s[-1], s[0], s[1], s[2], ..., s[k], …} where s[k] is thevalue of the discrete signal or sequence at index “k”.

are female outreach programs in mechanical engineering necessary?The 17.8% percent of bachelor’s degrees in engineering awarded to women in 2009 was thelowest percentage in fifteen years and caps seven straight years of decline from a high of 20.9%in 20021. Mechanical engineering as a discipline draws even fewer women with a scant 11.4%of 2009 degrees awarded to women1. However, many engineering disciplines show significantfemale enrollment and graduation rates. The engineering disciplines with the highestpercentages of degrees granted to women include environmental engineering (44%), biomedicalengineering (37%), and chemical engineering (35%)1.
