research project includingproposal and report writing, design and evaluation and presentation of results.We decided to use mobile robots as the focus of the class project. Of course, other topicscould support the course objectives. In fact, the previous year in which this course wastaught in this manner, students worked on extending a classical AI planner and did not userobots. We felt, however, that mobile robots offered unique advantages. Because mobilerobots are situated in the world, they offer important challenges for AI. The robots mustdeal with uncertainty in sensors and actuators, perform robustly in a wide range ofsituations and respond in real-time in a dynamic environment. Mobile robots provide aphysical system to experiment with

Aguest lecturer representing Kraft Fluid Power, a prominent mobile Fluid Power equipment supplyhouse, was invited to speak to the class. Figure 1. Hydraulic Circuit Diagrams are matched to form working system The tractor was on display in the Lab at all times and copies of the available service andmaintenance literature was given to each team. Manufacturers' performance data on the 12 HPBriggs and Stratton engine was made available. The Lab computers carry a program calledHydroworks which facilitates the design and drafting of hydraulic circuitry. Also, a 2-dimensionalCAD package called VISIO is available that permits the
solving skills, and creativity. Student learning is improved by effective implementationof practice.Issues in Architectural EducationThe study of buildings has always included the blending of aesthetic issues with those oftechnology. Vitruvius’ ancient ideals of Firmness, Commodity, and Delight have challengedarchitects and students of architecture for centuries. The education of an architect includescourse work in “architectural ‘basics’ – architectural history, architectural theory, drawing,technical courses such as structures and environmental systems, and, above all, design”1 Findingthe balance and connections between these areas of study is the challenge that faces students ofarchitecture each day.In 1996, the late Ernest L.

INCORPORATING A TRUSS DESIGN PROJECT INTO A MECHANICS & STATICS COURSE Robert A.

conducted. The most detrimental risks present are plane crash and pilot error due to their lack of mitigations. The completion of several mathematical processes and team presentations has instilled a generous amount of educational value in the team. Drawing on the full spectrum of engineering ideas acquired over the years has prepared the team for the competition and for future engineering explorations.

They can be found in courses from the beginnings in calculus and college physics tothe final courses on the most advanced topics. Difficult lectures do not always deal with difficult topics.

research and development services that cannot be met by their reducednumber of staff. This demand can be met by faculty members (and full-time researchers) atuniversities seeking to develop active research programs. However, researchers (and administra-tors) at universities must recognize that there are differences when working with industry, asagreements, expectations and time frames for corporations are substantially different than thosefor the government. Also, engineers (and managers) in industry must understand that universitiesare not corporate business units nor consulting firms. At a university, the primary objectives arecreation and dissemination of knowledge. This paper discusses some issues in developing a strong cooperative
