. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 A Low-Cost Robot Positioning System for a First-Year Engineering Cornerstone Design ProjectAbstractResearchers in autonomous robotic design have leveraged a variety of technologies to simulatethe Global Positioning System (GPS) on a smaller laboratory or commercial scale. In the interestof cost and accuracy, a system was developed for The Ohio State University Fundamentals ofEngineering for Honors (FEH) Program's "Cornerstone" Design Project. The system utilizes highdefinition commercial web cameras to accurately simulate a GPS for the autonomous robotscreated by students.For the past 21 years The Ohio State University has provided a "Cornerstone" Design

Students participated inlearning activities following the instructor's planning and guidance and their learningbehaviors to use a learning system were recorded in the database. Those attributes, such asfrequency, sequence, and association of learning behavior were identified through astructured arrangement and statistical analysis. In addition, those key learning activities thatinspire the students' creativity along with the creativity assessment results were discovered.According to our findings, high creativity students proceeded with active exploration duringlearning more frequently compared to low creativity students. The data analysis also showedmore instances of independent thinking created

By tyingprogression in the game to a student’s progress in class, the student may find the class morerelatable, as their actions in class influence a game with familiar mechanics. The gamified classmay also motivate students to complete more difficult homework and exams.
