when variation exists in the process.As shown in Figure 1, the five components (A, B, C, D, and E) are assembled together create thefinal product. If the worst-case scenario is used, the assembled product would be assumed tohave as large of the tolerance as the sum of the individual tolerances or ±0.075 inches. If thedesigner would like to keep the tolerance as ±0.050, then tighter tolerances for componentswould be sought. If this is applied to all components equally over the five assembledcomponents, then the tolerance of each component will have to be set to ± 0.010 inches whichwould increase the cost of components, perhaps unnecessarily.Using the RSS method, the variation of the assembled product is calculated using the squaredvalues of the
area andstorage bin. Figure 8 shows scooping and dumping the sand into storage bin. Each trip the mining robotcarried around 1.5 kg of sand in 23 seconds and dumped the sand in 42 seconds. The traveling speed ofthe robot was 0.3 m/s. To scoop and dump a 10 kg simulant, the robot will take 230 seconds for the 7.7 mdistance. The size of the competition arena was 3.79 m wide and 7.7 m long. Each team was given 10minutes for the competition, so the VSU robot could make two mining trips. A video demonstration ofthe testing can be seen in Reference 17. The emergency key switch was examined during the testing, andit reliably tuned off the main power of the robot. (a) (b) Figure 8. (a

ABET outcomes measures that are reported in Table 3 are:(a) applying knowledge to engineering technology activities, (b) select & apply knowledge ofmath, science, engineering and technology to engineering technology, (c) conduct standard testsand measurements, and interpret experiments, (d) function in a team, (e) solve broadly-definedengineering technology problems, (f) communication skills, and (g) continuous improvement.Table 3.

image processing” book starts with the assumption that the reader hasaccess to an image. It generally does not cover on how to select/develop an imageacquisition system for a given application. This gap was addressed in this course.In summary, this designed course designed was to cover the four key segments ofcomputer vision systems, i.e. a) image acquisition, b) image processing, c) imageanalysis, and d) image understanding (pattern recognition). Table 1 illustrates thefour learning objectives of the course and their associated Bloom’s taxonomy. Toachieve these learning objectives, active teaching and learning techniques alongwith modified conventional lectures and hands-on laboratory activities were used.In addition to the assignments, and

Thesame procedure was repeated for locations “C” and “D”.The last part of the test was done with no steam injection. All four steam injection holes werecovered with soil and temperatures were recorded for 21 minutes. At the 14 minute mark TC1,TC2, and TC3 were disconnected from TC meters, TM4 was replaced with TC4 and all fourthermocouples were connected to a data acquisition (DAQ) computer that tracked thetemperatures overnight. Once the steam generator had cooled off the water was removed andmeasured. A total of 23 oz (0.680 kg) of water was used during this
