This
project, sponsored by NSF, is focusing on understanding how engineers
develop expertise in the area of system integration and how to help
students develop system integration skills reliably and efficiently.
This system will involve knowledge of the characteristics of
the various mechanical and electrical devices available to make up
the system, including their functions, power requirements, and specific
characteristics, and the ability to write PLC programs to orchestrate
and synchronize the process being automated.
