Undergraduate Robotics EducationAbstractThe growing popularity of robotics education in undergraduate engineering programs gives rise toa demand for robotic technologies to facilitate learning in the classroom. Robotics undergraduatecurricula require platforms and tools that grow with the students, remaining accessible to earlyundergraduate levels while supporting the implementation of advanced algorithms. In this paper,we describe a software framework for educational mobile robotic platforms designed withundergraduate robotics education in mind. The MBot custom robot platform is capable ofexecuting a vast range of robotic and machine learning algorithms using a variety of sensors. Oursuite of open-source tools is designed

when engineers appreciate and strive forfairness [4]. Understanding the educational context and the importance of integrating equityissues is crucial to help engineers develop an equity ethic. However, the rigid and technology-focused nature of engineering education, rooted in meritocracy and a lack of political awareness,often prevents engineering students from exploring the social aspects of their field. To promotesocially just engineering practices, we must change how engineering students are taught andequipped to address issues of inequality in the workplace. Like in many other professions,engineering culture and values may be imparted to students through belief systems that arediscussed in more subtle ways rather than just fundamental

While hands-on learning tools likeLEGO Mindstorms are often used in engineering education, our approach uniquely emphasizesthe unpredictability and complexity inherent in real-world systems engineering. Rather thanfocusing solely on technology or project completion, we incorporate controlled disruptionsduring exercises, such as modifying project requirements, changing team compositions, orremoving key components from the kits. These disruptions simulate dynamic environments,requiring students to adapt, manage resource limitations
