. ENG6 is a required lower division course that teaches basic programmingconcepts to electrical, biomedical, mechanical, aeronautical, and civil engineering students.Because computer science and computer engineering students are not required to take thiscourse, most students have little familiarity with programming. Some are also not motivated tomaster programming concepts, since they view software design as being outside the corecompetencies required for their chosen disciplines. Increasing student engagement was anothermotivation for developing the new curriculum, including the creation of hardware-basedexercises and projects described in the sections below.The course utilizes MATLAB programming exercises and projects to teach engineering

One prominent application of this type of robot is for short distance control in areaswhere human entry is restricted.IntroductionControlling a robot with typical TV remote control is an invaluable tool in teaching manyconcepts in the design, fabrication, and control logic of an electromechanical system.Preliminary Infrared pulses from computer using the Infrared remote control RC5 protocol

Papers have beenwritten on how some software engineering techniques, such as pair programming, can helpincrease retention, particularly of female students7, 8.This paper suggests that other software engineering practices can be used to help increase thesuccess rates in lower division courses, which should translate into increased retention rates. Inparticular, use of detailed work plans and periodically monitored time logs and version controlcheck-ins is examined. The underlying assumption is that students need to be encouraged to startprograms early

The firstalternative would be an independent course in Computational Multibody Dynamics (CMD) orApplied Multibody Dynamics to fill the gap between design and manufacturing. The otherintegrates VP directly into a CAD/CAM course and treats VP as an independent section afterdiscussion of assembly modeling and before geometric dimension & tolerance (GD&T) andcomputer numerical control (CNC) programming. The first way will provide much deeper andbroader discussion of the principles of CMD and related software applications and also

This is also true for the software engineers who must work withother engineers, and therefore they need to understand their application domain. Therefore,having software engineering as part of the college of engineering, will flourish this culture fromthe very beginning. This culture can thrive through curriculum development and

In addition, the GRVuses two computers in a decentralized control scheme.Secondly, the paper reports the performance of Vasilius, relating theoretical predictions to actualbehavior. Performance measures include object avoidance, lane following, waypoint accuracy,follow-the-leader, ramp climbing, turn reaction time, battery life, stop reaction time, behavior indead-ends and traps, pothole avoidance, and safety. Finally, the paper discusses current on-goingresearch topics with Vasilius, including the incorporation of Kalman Filtering, mapping, andlearning. The
