An active IR sensor is located on the 'pan and tilt'and can be used to determine approximate direction and distance for the arm to reach andgrip objects that have reflective IR tape installed in them. These sensors provided byBanner Engineering [5] use a modulated IR transmitter and a synchronous detector toobtain a range of 50 feet in most lighting situations.Two infra-red distance sensors (GP2Y0A02YK donated by Sharp Electronics [6]) arelocated so the rover can sense objects to the left and in front of the rover.

According to McPherson7 (2005) “Service learning is a method of teaching throughwhich students apply their academic skills and knowledge to address real-life needs in their owncommunities.” Eyler & Giles4 (1999) highlighted the importance of service learning as “a formof experiential education where learning occurs through a cycle of action and reflection asstudents work with others through a process of applying what they are learning to communityproblems, and at the same time, reflecting upon their experience as they seek to achieve realobjectives for the community and deeper understanding and skills for themselves.” It is essentialtherefore to provide a structured environment in which participants will be able to discover theirown styles of

Because students were designing anexperiment, the questions asked were, by nature, somewhat biased toward the “test andexperiment” category and the “learning” category as students had to reflect on how otherstudents would best learn a concept through the experiment developed. A second challenge is the question of how to normalize the results so that they can becompared to similar efforts in other courses and related to overall program effectiveness. Onepossibility of how this might be done is shown in Table 2.

When absorption occurs, a dip is noted in the spectrum, and conversely,when dispersion occurs (reflection of microwave energy), there is a rise in the spectrum (Fig. 2).These reflections, due to the absorption or dispersion of energy, are part of the EPR spectrum;which give the scientist insight into the sample’s molecular structure and behavior.The pulse EPR methodology allows a very short burst of microwave energy to the cavity’ssample (Fig. 3). The power level, duration, and repetition rate of these bursts are determined bythe experimenter, based on the sample’s properties and the kind of EPR information desired.For example, a long pulse width will fully irradiate the sample and cause all of the moments ofthe sample’s

Abstract In order to inform a discussion of silenced communities within systemic processes, we examine the ASEE Diversity Recognition Program (ADRP) as a step towards amplifying re- flexive and critical activities already occurring within ASEE. In light of recent concern over the ADRP as a means of disrupting minority marginalization in Engineering Education1 , we reflect on the origins of the program as well as how to proactively shift the program’s cultural context to one of greater criticality about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in engineering, broadly.
