Introduction One advantage of establishing any organization is the opportunity to rethink the accepted structures and implement innovative programs. The Student Design Teams of Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) strive to create an analog for real world design and construction problems by creating an experiential learning environment. In early 2012, the Mars Rover Design Team (MRDT) became the newest addition to their number. The MRDT structure is organized like an engineering firm and operates like a small business with principle technical and administrative branches.

distance vector routing for ad-hoc networks. A sequencenumber is used to tag each route. A route with higher sequence number is more favorable than a routewith lower sequence number. However, if two routes have the same sequence number, the route withfewer hops is more favorable. In case of route failure, its hop number is set to infinity and its sequencenumber is increased to an odd number where even numbers are reserved only to connected paths.1.2 Dynamic Source Routing (DSR)DSR is an on-demand protocol. It is composed of route discovery and route maintenance. In routediscovery, a node tries to discover a route to destination if it has to send data to this destination and thereis currently no known route(s). A node broadcasts a route request

This retrospective pre/post questionnaire technique helps to alleviate response-shift biaspresent in self-assessed changes in learning attitudes. Our findings show that collaborativepresentation videos increased self-reported audience interest in engineering, and perceptions ofdisciplinary relatedness more than the non-collaborative, individual presentations made by thesame researchers. These results suggest a beneficial role for collaborative communicationstrategies to foster interest in engineering among public audiences, even among people without abackground in STEM. Further
