Most of the project teams would contain a mix of electrical and computer engineeringstudents. A few of the teams would span engineering departments at the university. Forinstance, there would always be a Mechanical Engineering vehicle team (formula race car, bajacar, etc.) which needed electrical and computer engineering skills to develop gauge clusters,computer control systems, wiring

determined by the depth of the overflow port withinthe neck of the container. When the product reaches the overflow port, the fill is completed, but the flowcontinues through the overflow tube until the seal on the container is broken and the valve sleeve coversthe ports in the filling nozzle and stops the flow. The fill level will be the same regardless of bottleinconsistencies.To ensure the leakage proof mechanism, we need to design a seal. The seal should not change itscharacteristics at high temperature of 170°C. Furthermore, since the material of the seal is plastic, we needto make sure that the outer surface of the cartridge is not damaged during the ink filling process. Thus thematerial of the seal should be such that it should be somewhat

A recent National Science Foundation funded Advanced TechnologyEducation (ATE) project has started to develop system based course materials and has asked forinput from faculty from across the nation. However, the basic question remains, what will be theskills needed in the middle of the next decade or in the year 2020?

Each error, as encountered, must be analyzed by the student and/or instructor to see how it affects the overall outcome. Some errors, especially those found toward the end of class, can be assigned as homework. The student can then summarize the comparisons between the good and bad results of a problem.
