The development team agreed that two face-to-face visits over thesemester seemed like a reasonable traveling commitment for an online student takingsuch a course. It was also recognized that students in circumstances with severely limitedtravel ability could potentially complete the robotics competition at home, synchronouslyparticipating in the final design competition via live web-enabled video conferencing.Design ProjectsTwo design project competitions are integrated into the curriculum, with experimentsbuilt into the schedule for students to

University PartnershipAbstractEspecially in rural locales like Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, students and employers alike canstruggle in their search to find STEM-based educational opportunities and the qualified graduatesthat result from them. Thanks to an innovative partnership between Bay de Noc CommunityCollege and Michigan Technological University, however, students are being provided with newopportunities to receive a quality education in the fields of mechatronics and robotics. By co-developing robotics curriculum and partnering on a number of grant applications to procureequipment, Bay de Noc Community College (commonly known as Bay College) and MichiganTech have created a replicable student pathway that can result in a certificate in

However, several elements of an assessmentmethodology can be employed that are helpful in measuring student learning according to presetbenchmarks, when student learning is demonstrated in such environments. Important assessmentelements include a sound understanding of the relevant competencies to be gained, theformulation of descriptive outcome statements, the setting of realistic benchmarks, and theimplementation of repeatable measurement techniques.
