During this laboratory time the team members will take care ofadministrative matters, do project planning and tracking, and work on their project. All studentsalso attend a common one-hour lecture each week. A majority of the lectures are by guestexperts, and have covered a wide range of topics related to engineering design, communication,and community service.

Commonassignments such as the Towers of Hanoi focus on algorithm flow, while other standard labs focuson behavior or path planning. These are all easily implemented using vendor supplied movecommands. A shortcoming in these common laboratory strategies is that they do not build on theintroductory material that is emphasized in the classroom.

Proposals were created for degrees in mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering(“the holy grail,” as one long-time faculty member put it) plus the official creation of a Collegeof Engineering. The then-UGA president (and BAE Dept head) waited for the right time politi-cally to present these proposals to the state of Georgia’s Board of Regents. Finally, in late 2010,these proposals were approved. The Board of Regents vote was tied 8-8, so the Board Chairmade the deciding vote.

Additionally,the Environmental Policy Act 1 (NEPA), requires governmental agencies to perform apublic scoping process that includes making plans available for public review, sponsoringdedicated time for public comment, and holding at least one public meeting. As such,engineering professionals who work for both government agencies and private firms areresponsible for facilitating and participating in public meetings at some point during theircareer. To prepare for this eventuality, civil engineers must be able to facilitate effective,productive public meetings. The research and curriculum development presented in thispaper is a first step to preparing new engineers for this important task
