We document that the majority of student jobplacements do not directly involve the university services dedicated to support such activitiesand that holds even if we only consider placements that are related to Engineering andComputing. The senior design survey gathered work histories of about 80% of the enrollment inthese classes which we contrast with academic performance.We consider issues arising from attempting to actively manage the total workload for students.We look at the role of industry who desires

Finally, lessons learned, and students’ feedback are discussed.IntroductionRobotics has rapidly evolved into a fundamental component of industries ranging fromhousehold appliances to heavy equipment. As automated devices become increasingly integratedinto modern society, the demand for skilled engineers capable of designing, programming, andmanaging robotic systems has never been greater.

Water volumes weremeasured using either a 100-mL or 250-mL graduated cylinder, and flow rates were calculatedfrom the time required to fill a known volume, using a stopwatch and a graduated cylinder. Watersurface elevations were measured using a ruler or engineers scale. Three different experiments were conducted using the model reservoir.

The maturity and leadership skillsdeveloped during military service enables military students to assist traditional students withcomplex problems [4]. Also, veterans and service members in engineering related fields arebetter acclimated through the mentorship of other veterans because their shared experiences helpto establish mentoring relationships [5].

As part of the integrated curriculum, the fluid power module isinterconnected with other modules. The relevance of the competencies developed in variousmodules is thus reinforced throughout the curriculum.
