better problem solvers. This is as important for liberal arts students as it is for engineers. • Students will gain some technological literacy. Literacy is an important goal of the liberal arts education. Students need to understand and appreciate the modern world to be able to make informed decisions about critical issues. • Students who understand the big ideas of engineering (for example, recognizing real-world constraints, trade-offs, and considerations of economics, environment and safety) may later understand their own discipline better.Others agree that engineering should be a component of the liberal arts education. UnionCollege has a curriculum, called Converging Technologies, which integrates the arts

22.481.3inexpensive and highly adaptable. These criteria led to the selection of the Paparazzi softwareand the Tiny 2.11 autopilot board, adapted from an off-the-shelf Wi-Fi network board. The Tiny2.11 Autopilot board uses a Philips LPC2148 ARM7 based microcontroller, which is a low-power 32-bit RISC processor. The chip has 512KB on-chip Flash ROM, 40KB RAM and can beclocked at 60MHz. The Tiny 2.11 board also has an integrated LEA-5H GPS receiver with a0.71 in × 0.16 in patch antenna.The Paparazzi Project2 is an open source endeavor created at ENAC, the National Civil AviationUniversity in Toulouse, France. One of the main advantages of the Paparazzi autopilot system isthat it is fully open source, which means that the software has been developed under a

ideas for “next year,” while the older studentssolidify their knowledge and skills as they mentor the younger competitors. In this way, thecompetition again helps to expose middle and high school students to the schools and programswhere they can continue with their ROV projects and, more importantly, STEM education.The competition events consist of underwater missions and an engineering and communicationcomponent. The underwater mission tasks are modeled after real-world situations and howROVs are used to resolve them. For example, the 2010 missions centered on an underseavolcano and how scientists, engineers, and technicians develop and deploy instruments, collectgeological and biological samples, and use sensor technologies to understand the
