advancedconcepts about robotics also will be used in research for graduate students in many applicationsuch surveillance applications. The software will be composed of ten modules. The developedsoftware system allows a mobile robot attached with the robotics arm to navigate in anenvironment autonomously. The mobile robot accepts the commands from the human being(operator) using three different techniques. The mobile robot starts navigating to detect manyobjects based on color(s) and shapes, and also sends these information back to the operatorthroughout Graphical User Interface (GUI). With a camera attached to the mobile robot, thesoftware will be able to classify the objects based on color (s) and shape(s), and to determineits/their position. The

multi-function digital device. TheNational Instruments (Austin, TX) myDAQ is very compact and portable so students can extendhands-on learning outside of the lab environment using industry-standard tools and methods(Figure 2). The NI myDAQ includes two analog inputs and two analog outputs at 200 kS/s and 16bits, allowing for applications such as sampling an audio signal; eight digital inputs and outputlines, providing power for simple circuits with +5, +15, and -15 volt power supplies; and a 60 VDMM to measure voltage, current, and resistance.

(36 students). Nearly all students (41/42) recognizedthat flow cytometry is able to distinguish between different cell types (Table 2). Additionally, amajority of students (34/42) recognized that flow cytometry is able to distinguish between cellsof the same type (Table 2). Students were asked how flow cytometry might distinguish betweencells of the same type; there was no single correct answer, and many students provided one ormore reasonable response(s) (Table 2). Students were then asked to describe the type of data thatis generated by flow cytometry, choosing from a list of four options rather than generatingindividual responses (Table 2). The final two questions were used to gather student opinion dataregarding the lecture/laboratory
