Hence, the user computes the forward kinematics and then the inversekinematics for the individual gripper positions necessary to carry out the instructor specifiedtask (for example, a pick and place routine).The resulting angular positions arrived at for each of the positions which the robotic arm isdesired to move through are placed in tabular form. These values are now entered in this VIand the execute button is clicked on. Error checking is first done to ensure that the enteredvalues lie within the specified ranges of motion of each motor.

There are four graded laboratory experiences and adifferent student is appointed the leader for each laboratory.

Finally, the Excel add-in 8@Risk, developed by Palisade Corporation, is used to teach students to use Monte Carloanalyses in spacecraft design and performance assessment. Students learn how to perform MonteCarlo analyses and interpret the results through outputs such as probability density functions(PDFs), cumulative distribution functions (CDFs or “s-curves”), and tornado plots.Grades are determined by frequent lab assignments, quizzes, and a final project.

and the increased rate oftechnological change, globalization is playing an important role. As globalization continues, therole of engineers in the United States is shifting further up these hierarchies towards moreintegration and coordination. In a more global economy, engineers employed in organizations will necessarily be required to coordinate projects having global workforces …A typical U.S. engineer will have to become a project manager early in his or her career and will be coordinating the work of people stationed around the world, either within the parent organization or in con- tractor organizations. 2To be effective at integration, however, an engineer must have deep knowledge in thecomponents that s/he is

While this change is constantly ongoing, the mid 2000’swere a period of significant change that directly impacted the networking and infrastructure area.Many of the specialized skills that once differentiated our students in the marketplace havebecome commoditized. In the 1990’s, for example, IP subnetting knowledge was adifferentiating factor in the student marketplace; today it is background knowledge. Thiscommoditization of knowledge is ever ongoing, resulting in today’s hot skills (such as IPtelephony) becoming tomorrow’s background knowledge.As cutting edge technologies have become more mainstream, the manner
