move into a career. Without it, the robotic mining team would not have a memory.Successes and FailuresDuring the first year of the competition there was a lot of uncertainty as to what was needed tobe successful. The team created a mining robot much like a combine. It had a bucket ladder tocollect the regolith in a hopper and an auger to empty the hopper. The team tested themsuccessfully using sand. The problem was that, unknown to the team, regolith resembles amixture of flour, sand, and gravel. The gravel in the regolith jammed the auger during unloadingcausing the system to blow a fuse making it impossible to unload the hopper. This kept the teamfrom qualifying and was our first learning moment. To prevent this issue, future teams haveused

sustaining US competitiveness in the sectors ofmanufacturing, technology, services, and government. As such, the Colorado State University(CSU) SE graduate program has particular relevance for students engaged in distance, mid-career education. In response to feedback from industrial partners, the Systems Engineeringprogram at CSU has developed a suite of courses that are offered concurrently online and in aclassroom setting. The technologies used to broadcast the CSU SE program courses allow forstudent feedback, question and answer, and synchronous online interaction, but the rates andtypes of these student interactions varies by course, by instructor, and by semester. This papersseeks to develop a deeper understanding of what techniques for
