Page 15.871.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Microcontroller Controlled Walking RobotAbstract: The objective of this project, funded by the ACTION Program at the University ofMaryland Eastern Shore, was to involve and expose undergraduate students, particularlyminority and under-represented students, in research and real-world projects. One of the uniqueaspects of this project was the involvement and collaboration of a graduating senior student aswell as a freshman student during construction and application of the robot. This arrangementwas intended to provide an opportunity for peer teaching and learning. The construction andoperation of an advanced walking robot was intended to display the

(2) individualized, adaptive, creativeexplanation.3 It makes sense that students taking a course in a non-traditional format might alsoneed a tutoring solution that allows them to remain off site, since the course format (at leastpartially) enables this benefit. An online tutor uses ICT to work with students on a one-on-onebasis (generally) in order to answer student questions and guide students to successfulcompletion of assignments and/or adequate test preparation. Tutoring for quantitative STEMcourses often requires the tutor or student to write complex sequences of equation statements thatcomprise a problem solution process. The online tutor and student are generally separated interms of location, with the temporal context being either

Technology in Education. As a lead researcher for the HP grant, Jaurez is exploring the application of gaming to learning while leveraging the recreational elements of digital entertainment to enhance the rewards of learning. Now, in conjunction with grant Principal Investigator Professor Ronald Uhlig in the School of Engineering and Technology, he is taking wireless communications students and creating game designers out of them. These students are creating new games as part of their engineering courses. They are integrating information architecture and mapping technology into learning management systems, and creating entire games, then writing scholarly papers about their work. As board member for
