AbstractMost people are more perceptive to the geometric rather than the symbolic representation ofinformation. In engineering disciplines, visualization combined with game characteristics canprovide an essential mode to facilitate students’ understanding of important and abstractconcepts, and improve students’ willingness to learn. In this project, game characteristics areintroduced into course module design, but different from commercially available games in thatthe level of the contents and assessment tools in this project are meaningful to teachers, students,and parents.This paper focuses on the design of the Gaming and Interactive Visualization for Educationsystem.

Education, 2009 Use of a Low-Cost Camera-Based Positioning System In a First-Year Engineering Cornerstone Design ProjectAbstractAlthough the concept of autonomous robot design projects has existed in engineering educationfor years as a tool for giving engineering students hands-on experience, in practice, the autonomyof these projects has been limited due to cost. Student programmers participating in theseprojects often have limited ways to interact with their environment autonomously, relying onlow-cost sensors such as touch sensors instead of interacting with a high-cost camera-basedpositioning system. This not only limits the autonomy of the robot, but robs the student ofvaluable design and programming experience
