capstone model will be replicable nationally. We anticipatethat school districts in other states could adopt the curriculum with only minor modifications.Teachers’ Professional DevelopmentCAPSULE provides an intensive, two-week workshop for high school teachers every summer.At these workshops, teachers learn and practice the capstone experience. Following the summerPD, teachers implement what they learn in their PD into their classroom instructions. As such,we provide two follow-up (callback) sessions through the school year. One session is conductedin the fall semester and the other in the spring semester. The callback sessions are designed toallow the teachers to share their implementation of the capstone experience in their classroomteaching

To reduce the cost of adoptingprojects of this type and to encourage other schools to choose this approach, source code andhardware schematics required for the infrastructure of our project will be made available tointerested parties upon request. Furthermore, the creation of an international tournament ofsmall, vision-guided autonomous vehicles is proposed, patterned after high-profile

In addition the more experience a teacherhas with STOMP seems to impact the engineering subject matter knowledge and engineeringdesign pedagogical content knowledge they applied in their interviews and classrooms.IntroductionConcern over performance and participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, andmathematics) fields in the United States has lead to greater integration and adoption ofengineering in K-12 curricula.

It is used toaddress the challenges associated with modeling, analysis, design, implementation, testing andoptimization of multi-domain motion control systems2,3,4. The approach is generallyimplemented using an integrated software environment that is interfaced with the external worldthrough data-acquisition systems. In this project, Matlab and Simulink are used for modeling andsimulation of multi-domain systems, including electrical, mechanical, and many others, as wellas for signal processing, parameter estimation, control design, optimization, and real-timeembedded programming.
