RobotAbstractThe abundance of connections between art and engineering are opportunities to engageartistically inclined students who may not think of themselves as interested in robotics, and toinspire engineering-inclined students to express themselves artistically. This work presents a toolkit and lesson plan for a hands-on introductory robotics activity centering how art and engineeringinfluence each other. The Artistic Non-Inertial Tracer (ANT) is a three-link robot made oforigami, which contacts the ground through markers that trace patterns as it slithers around. Thedesign is capable of forward, turning, backward, and diagonal motion. Using origami for the bodyhighlights the influence of art on engineering, and the gait traces are a visually

progress made in implementing FYE2.0 to date and discusses plans for the future.1.0 BackgroundFirst-year engineering programs (FYE) are a common way for students to be introduced to theengineering profession. [1]. FYE programs typically include one or two introductory courses on avariety of topics. The content of FYE courses can include any combination of topics such as design,communication, professional skills (e.g., teamwork, leadership), and engineering specifictechnology/tools (e.g., MATLAB, CAD) [2]. Fostering interactions between first-year studentsand faculty/upper division engineering students have been shown to aid in the retention ofengineering students. The goals of FYE programs are typically: • Provide FYE students with
