different types of operations, it gave experts the opportunityto supply a greater amount of input per expert engagement at their discretion. This resulted in amore detailed curriculum at the end of Experiment 2 (provided in Appendix D), compared withthe baseline curriculum provided by the course instructor (Appendix B) and the academiccommittee curriculum (Appendix C).Another important observation is that the curriculum structure will eventually plateau. Whenlooking at the number of new subtopics suggested in Experiment 2a there were 40 subtopics by15 experts, while the Experiment 2b added only 4 new subtopics by 7 new experts. This meansthat after Experiment 2a, the experts almost agreed on the needed subtopics. Similar resultswere related to

maintaining and repairing the machine, the workers must now be familiar with four different automation systems that are likely to use different names and conventions to describe their operation. (Wait vs WAIT vs WAITING vs WAIT_A could be describing the same overall function in the controller programs.) In a troubleshooting scenario, the technician must now learn to connect and translate terms which diverts their effort from repairing the system. b. The topography of the system demonstrates that the conveyor language is being translated for use by the robot, then re-translated and transmitted forward to the outfeed and empty container
review of the fluid mechanics knowledge. The starting idea was based on the Gonzalez Hernandez’ et al. paper [13] 2. Design Considerations. a. Due to small scale demonstration unit, the dimensions of the test chamber were 6”x6” with a twelve-inch length. The team concluded that this size would be small enough to keep the overall size compact while big enough to accommodate future experiments. b. To determine an appropriate contraction ratio, the ratio of the wind tunnel inlet area to the test chamber's area. This value is critical to the wind tunnel's efficiency because it affects the volume of air drawn into the tunnel. A low contraction ratio
