learning about the professional dutiesof a faculty member. This includes various committee meetings and departmental functions. Themeetings of the Mechanical Engineering Technology Department were held every Wednesdayfor one hour, and I was allowed to attend them. Hence I attended a total of 9 departmentalmeetings. At these meetings, I was exposed to the daily and more specific activities within thedepartment. One of the things I learned was the way they handled student petitions. Sometimesthe committee would vote on the issue, sometime they would decide to ask the student to comein and explain his/her viewpoint to the committee. In one case, the decision was deferred to thefaculty member whom the student had petitioned under. Another issue taken

Regardless ofhow and when, it is critical that the Engineering Technology graduate have a workingunderstanding of programmable logic controllers.The above paragraph that begins with the phrase “The junior level applied processcontrol engineering course” pinpoints why the cost savings is significant – the PLCmodules were designed and fabricated by the students! While it is important to providegraduates with PLC familiarization, purchasing vendor supplied “training systems” canbe financially challenging.

growing importance of ROS in research and commercial robotics, engineeringeducators are introducing ROS into the engineering curriculum [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. As canbe noted from the literature, ROS is powerful technology but has a steep learning curve, whichmakes the interface with MATLAB an attractive alternative for educators. Several educatorshave reported results integrating MATLAB Robotics Toolkit with ROS middleware for mobilerobotics [8], [9]. to improve student accessibility. One researcher has surveyed 75 roboticseducational programs (undergraduate and graduate) and indicated MATLAB is the mostcommonly used software language in robotics programs [10]. It was also reported in the samestudy that there was a general need for a low
