Page 26.557.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Using Robotics as a Tool to Engage Students in Technical CurriculumAbstractStudent engagement is a necessary but complicated variable within STEM education, especially when dealing withtechnical curriculum. There are fewer curriculum resources available for teachers which are structured around aTechnology and Engineering (T & E) STEM focus, and integrating robotics activities into teaching strategies fortechnical subjects provides an
wide variety of students, of course centered around technology, butfostering the “creative collisions” that lead to taking innovations to the next step.1 Infrastructureincludes the requisite 3D Printers and similar tools for early physical ideation, but also“hackable” hardware which can link computer-controlled systems to users (e.g. Oculus Rift, aMyo Armband, a NeuroSky Brainwave Kit, Leap Motion Controller, Arduinos, Android & iOS-based hardware, etc). Fundamentally, Innovation Sandbox is a clubhouse where students acrossall majors and academic levels can meet to explore modern technology and apply it to extremelybroad topics. Any development beyond early exploration and play is better served in othercampus machine shops and laboratories

For some students, the proposed research was acontinuation of their primary thesis project; for others, it was an opportunity to develop a newsecondary research direction. Trainees were asked to select at least one scientific co-mentorduring the application process; however, many took the initiative to cultivate additional mentorsover their 2-year training period (Table 1). Sources of formal and informal mentorship wereidentified from trainee progress reports, meetings, interviews, and publications. Table 1.

view, there are two channels labeled as CH0 and CH1, which receive the strainsignals from the incident and transmitter bars. The strain signals pass through the Wheatstonebridges and amplifiers shown in Figure 12. The signals output from CH0 and CH1ports as shownin Figure 11. As shown in Figure 12, the data acquisition module contains a screw terminalinput, Wheatstone bridge, amplifier, and BNC output for each channel. The module is poweredby a laboratory DC supply or four internal AA batteries. All the components are mounted on apanel of perfboard and placed in a recycled computer power supply case.
