The results of interviews with third-year mechatronics studentsindicate that they are almost ready to build and program their own robots - but not necessarilyhumanoid robots.Bibliography1. Kolb, D.

This might have influenced the students not to work with MOSFETs in their projects.ConclusionsThe traditional pre-defined diode labs are achieving their goal of providing a greater learningexperience of diodes and their applications, as opposed to the pre-defined transistor-circuit labswhich simply provide the basic foundation. The results of the survey suggest that the learningprocess is greatly enhanced by real life applications such as the student’s projects.

The ECUcommunicates with the VCS using the CAN bus.Communications between most subsystems in the vehicle is over a CAN (controller areanetwork) bus. This communication is at two separate frequencies, 250Kb/s for the fuelcell, and 500Kb/s for the rest of the vehicle.

If during the final test the team encountered a problem and wanted to request a re-test,this was allowed, but their final performance grade dropped 7% each time. Of the 16 teams thatfaced this performance grading, 14 successfully raised their quarter above 6 feet, one team raisedit two feet, and one team’s design did not function.Case 2 - The main difference in Case 2’s final demonstration was that every team competed atthe same time.

Thesurvey was administered in the fall semester of 2008 to 47 students and 19 students completedthe survey. The survey was designed with two main intentions: a) monitoring the usage of thenanoHUB.org and b) assessing instructors’ incorporation of the tool(s) as part of their course.The students were asked to participate in a voluntary Likert-scale survey focused on: - How students perceive simulation tools as useful for their learning, - How students thought the simulation tools were relevant to their areas of interest

Indeed, almost all professional engineeringorganizations cite effective communication skills as a top priority for graduating engineers.
