UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE MAY A ROBOT EMIT AN IR SIGNAL at either of the two possible marker beacon frequencies of 100 Hertz or 125 Hertz. A robot may emit an IR signal as a result of using an approved sensor that incorporates an IR light emitting diode. Examples of such permitted sensors include shaft encoders, optosensors, and the Sharp Model GP2D12 IR ranging device. Budgetary – Each team will have a discretionary budget of $150. Each team will also be loaned a programmable controller board and issued a set of basic sensors. The actual cost of purchasing parts

One of the most memorable, and repeated over several years withminor variations, was the ‘Super E’ T shirt. Modelled on the Superman logo, in the samecolors, the Big S was replaced by a big E. To me this design reflected the pride, superiorityand sense of belonging that engineering students had. This T shirt was worn any day or anytime, but particularly when groups of students wished to be identified as engineers such aswhen they visited a school, or had an organised water fight against the business students.In recent

The students have also appreciated theorganization of the board notes: “the notes on the board are great”.Dave: I won the Department of Civil Engineering 's Outstanding Teacher Award for the 1999-2000 school year.

By analyzing both the simple and the commercial pliers, students shouldgain insights into the relative advantages and disadvantages of vector vs. scalar solutiontechniques. Through the post-lab exercise, students are introduced to the concept of analyzing amechanism’s parameters individually (using MechANEX software) to determine whichparameter(s) has the most significant impact on a particular aspect of a design. For example, inthe post-lab assignment students vary the geometric dimensions of the pliers in an attempt tomaximize its mechanical advantage (defined here as clamping force divided by force applied atthe handle) while keeping

present study, the students in universities of technology hold somealternative conceptions in Electricity. Therefore, the physics teacher should think how to teachthe topics of electricity in an effective way. Furthermore, more research is need on developingmore effective teaching strategy to enhance UT students’ conception about electricity. Finally, itis found that the UT students did lack of the ability/intention in reasoning and explanation. It issuggested that physics teacher should encourage students and provide them more opportunities toengage in reasoning activities in physics course.AcknowledgementThe funding of this research work is provided by the National Science Council, Taiwan, ROC,under grant NSC 97-2511-S-259-008-MY3
