, capstone designprojects usually either require a massive learning curve to build on previous systems or arerelegated to relatively simple designs, many of which are repeated year after year. This paperdescribes the educational experience gained through design and construction of an R2D2 replicafrom the Star Wars™ movies. The initial project incorporates basic radio control as well assimple autonomous navigation and limited user interface with the capability for futureexpansion. The modular design is intended to allow future capstone groups to add innovativenew features as well as novel applications of well established technologies. In addition to beinga motivational project for senior-level engineering students, it is also a marketing tool for

undergraduate program in Computational Mathematics hasbeen recently approved. The trend seems to be that most of the students wishing to pursue thedegree program are engineering students interested in pursuing a dual major. The challengesfaced by the department are 1) to offer these dual majors an integrated curriculum that wouldtake advantage of their engineering background and 2) to offer a curriculum which will enablethem to complete the degree within one additional year without compromising the integrity ofthe program. In this paper, the authors discuss in detail their Computational Mathematicscurriculum and the modification of the curriculum for the dual majors.IntroductionComputational Mathematics is a multidisciplinary field that applies the

Our survey results indicate that our engineeringstudents engaged in this project developed better teamwork skills, communicationsabilities, and interests in community-based projects. These attributes are fundamental toABET accreditation process. Based on student responses, it was evident that the service-learning activity had a direct and profound positive impact on the students. We believethat these impacts were both real and may be long lasting. Furthermore, we believe thatour pilot service-learning project can be considered as an effective model to be replicatedby
