, American Society for Engineering EducationSummaryAs technology moves forward, robotics grows more complex as well as more affordable to use.The robotic tractor pull introduces students at the University of Missouri to concepts inautonomous vehicles while learning about traditional concepts in farm machinery. Studentslearn the basics in weight transfer, ballasting, tractor design, and computer programming.Contrary to normal classroom activities, a challenging hands-on experience replaces lectures,giving students a chance to test their creativity without the costs associated with actual farmequipment.Bibliography1.

The Model-Construction Principle requires that the students come up with a procedure or model for explaining a “mathematically significant” situation. 2.

Say for example, participating in a robotics competition, or applying for an internship at a local tech company, or even signing up to tour a technology facility, all of these are great opportunities for anyone with serious interest in engineering. The moment I found my spot in the opportunities I had; taking part in robotics competitions, applying for jobs, working with clubs in my area designing and building cool tech projects, I found that I now search more and more not for clubs to take part in or opportunities to take

IntroductionDSP has, in recent years, become a driving force in the advancement of multimedia andtelecommunications technology. In many applications requiring embedded computing (e.g., faxmachines, modems, cellular telephones, disk drives), DSP platforms can provide lower cost andhigher computational efficiency than general-purpose microprocessors can. Many students haveresponded to this demand by pursuing additional training in DSP.
