Project Final ReportAbstractRecently, educators have worked to improve STEM education at all levels, but challengesremain. Capitalizing on the appeal of robotics is one strategy proposed to increase STEMinterest. The interdisciplinary nature of robots, which involve motors, sensors, and programs,make robotics a useful STEM pedagogical tool. There is also a significant need for industrialcertification programs in robotics. Robots are increasingly used across industry sectors toimprove production throughputs while maintaining product quality. The benefits of robotics,however, depend on workers with up-to-date knowledge and skills to maintain and use existingrobots, enhance future technologies, and educate users. It is critical that education

, andcompatibility. There are needs of an intelligent device that can be flexible enough to beintegrated into any type of engineering systems. It is particularly demanding in the scale ofcomplexity of those large-scale engineering systems. This is also true in many engineering issuesoccurring in different Navy systems. This proposal is aimed to address these issues bydeveloping an intelligent mobile sensing platform that integrates intelligent sensors (e.g., Lidarin this project) with necessary peripherals and makes it portable and customizable for differentapplications. Lidar is a range measuring sensor that uses laser signals to detect and measure thedistances and angles to the surrounding objects. Lidar has been used in variety of

educational research project started with theinitial goal of highlighting students’ energy literacy, and the relevance of this topic with respectto the course materials. Initially, one course learning objective was selected, and the specificcourse topics related to that objective were identified. A specific in-class assignment wasdeveloped for the purpose of highlighting the connections between the class material and generalenergy concepts. The activity during class required the students to use the Bernoulli equation in aguided step by step process to estimate at the energy requirements in a hydraulic system. Afterthis activity, the students were given a survey to provide their own perspective about theirperceived knowledge about energy and how these
