ConclusionsDifferent autonomous vehicles were designed and built (as shown in Figures 3 - 5), for thespecific task of participating in several robotic competitions, and to fulfill the course requirementfor the students in our department. The participation in this course gave students real-life teamwork experience. They experienced the application of theoretical information in different areasof knowledge to solve real engineering problems. This experience could later be used in theirprofessional careers to solve similar engineering problems in numerous applications. Thepotential of real-world autonomous devices being able to control themselves is growing, and insome

often perform poorly in their first calculus course. Working from the perceptionthat first year engineering students do not make the connection between what they learn incalculus and the problems they solve in freshman engineering, the faculty who teach theengineering sections of first semester calculus and the faculty who teach freshman engineeringworked together to define projects that span both classes.The primary goal of these projects was to show students how the concepts and techniques theywere learning in math class were relevant to their future career in engineering. It was proposedand believed that if the students understood the connection between the two subjects, they wouldunderstand both subjects better and be motivated to work

Manyengineering/business courses are pure lecture-based, and do not usually containcomponents that help student to boost their communication skills within the frameworkof engineering problems. The limited exposure to this critical success skill has resulted inisolated learning experience. Students lack the broad understanding in other areas ofstudy and oftentimes speaking different languages between the disciplines.

To remain competitive in the global market, medical device manufacturersneed highly qualified engineers to develop innovative and functional products.Undergraduate engineering students are often taught theoretical concepts without having theopportunity to actually apply these concepts in a real-world context.
