common path planning technique is the A* algorithm. The A* path planningalgorithm is presented in lecture, then the students are asked to employ this algorithm as part ofthe artificial intelligence in a game where tanks need to navigate around obstacles to approach anenemy. Similar algorithms, such as Dijkstra's algorithm, are also introduced and the students areasked to evaluate the impact the new algorithms have on the performance of the game, based ontiming or frame rate. These algorithms vary significantly in performance. For example,Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path but explores all possible paths and executes slowly.In contrast the A* algorithm selectively examines paths and therefore completes in a muchshorter time than

Knowledge truly became a force toreckon with.During the next semesters, we plan to expand our reviews of the material and the students’reactions to all the topics covered in the course. Our principle concern is that the student reactionfocuses on material that they have not encountered in other courses on campus.

assortment of manufacturingtools to create, prototype, and test their designs. In engineering design education, instructors seekto introduce these techniques and train students up to a working level of proficiency.Meeting these broad course objectives requires careful planning and a suitable educationalmodel. Effective skills training should teach underlying concepts, demonstrate proper usage oftools, dedicate time for learners to practice, and most importantly, provide feedback to thelearners [1]. Well-implemented training can lead to safer practices, increased performance, andfewer mistakes. When skills are taught effectively in a class, students see positive results bothindividually and as teams [2].When teaching such an extensive field as

While attracting students into STEM is oneaspect of the problem, retaining those who indicate interest in STEM is the other end of thechallenge. The six-year graduation data for the 2003-09 cohort published in 2014 by the NationalCenter of Education Statistics6 reported that 48% of those who entered college as STEM studentseither changed their major to a non-STEM major or left college without obtaining a degree.

In other words, gender remains aviable factor in female students’ lives. ConclusionsSince India’s independence in 1947, Indian women have been getting education, which was seenas a means to learn social and home skills; it was not seen as a means to have a job unless therewere economic needs. Women were expected to pursue medical and teaching career paths;engineering was seen as suited for men. Of all career options open to women in India, IT hasbecome more popular than medical and teaching. This is mostly
