As mentioned earlier, to actually program a behavior it takes an understanding of Wolfram’s numbering system for two state automata. There are many beautiful designs that can be created from very simple rules. • Tactile Maps: One of the more interesting projects in recent years is taking color maps of the university campus and processing them for printing on an embosser so that they can used by blind students and visitors to the campus. This is actually a very large research project, but pieces of it were done in the Game of Life workshop. Types of processing that had to be done include replacing one color by

Other impacts of the trip were the acquisition of cultural and social capital thatcannot be accomplished through non-experiential activities [13]. The trip included a project inLima, daily tours to museums in this city, national research labs, and a final trip to MachuPicchu, the Lost City of the Incas in Cuzco.Project: A Sustainable Approach for Informal Settlements or Asentamientos Humanos in PeruEducational research has demonstrated that a rich learning environment plays an important rolein improving learning achievements and also attitudes toward studies and research [26].

In addition, students were expected to keep a journal documentingtheir reflections on what they had witnessed and learned throughout the trip. After the study-tour, the GTI Study Program participants made presentations to 200+ students in the College ofEngineering about the information they had learned and the impact of globalization oneveryone’s lives.2.4.

There is a risk that problems can become overlycomplicated—projects must be designed with the right amount of ‘messy’.”The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Foundations for Innovation inCyber-Physical Systems report [4] as well as the European ARTEMIS Research agenda [5] pointsout similar needs across many CPS domains.
