Design and Construction of a GSM-Controlled Pick and Place Robot
ABSTRACT The modern manufacturing environment is dynamic and uncertain. In line with the global trend in manufacturing, this project is carried out to explore into the potentials of robots in manufacturing, service industry, and domestic use. The robot was designed and constructed to incorporate the use of mobile phones as control mechanism via dual-tonemultiple frequency (DTMF). Various components such as the Gripper, Gears, Chains, and Control system were designed with good factor of saf...
Critical Analysis of the Recent Poor Performance of Engineering Students in Engineering Mathematics: A Case of Nnamdi Azikiwe University,
Abstract The ever-increasing rate of failure of engineering students in engineering mathematics is one which the school management and entire stakeholders need not wink at any longer. Engineering mathematics is a prerequisite for all engineering discipline. It equips the student with problem solving skills and cognitive ability needed for higher thinking. The research was conducted to investigate and critically analyze the causes of the recent poor performance of engineering students in ...
