Role-play scenarios are a useful way to depict the complexities of being an ethicalengineer. RPSs allow for introducing relevant topics to students through case studies that theycan explore on a deeper level [12]–[14]. RPSs do this by helping students situate themselves inscenarios through character roles. As the scenarios are developed for the learning environment,they let RPS administrators take a fictive approach to discuss topics of interest

It has shown immense potential to explain and predict a user's behaviors and reactions toinformation communication and technology [23]. Since its inception in 1985, TAM has beentested with various applications (e.g., learning management systems, health information systems,mobile application enterprise resource planning) [25]. Additionally, TAM has become the mostwidely applied user acceptance model and usage model [22], [23], [26].The TAM framework presents three critical constructs [22] [23]: perceived ease of use (PEOU),perceived usefulness (PU), and

We consider that for future implementations, onlineresources about STEM careers can be provided to parents to address the limitation of meeting inperson.

5 From the start of the project, the team proposed a six-phase project plan. Phase 1 consisted of scheduling future meetings and drafting the proposal, during which time we began sharpening our skills in time management and task delegation as a team. Phase 2 consisted of proposing and developing our multi-sensor system design. We learned many interesting skills during this portion of the project, including how to run a 3D printer and incorporate sensors onto system hardware. Phase 3 consisted of our midpoint progress checks and presentation, during which time we further harnessed our skills in time management and proper formatting of technical projects such as this one.

5 Summary and ConclusionsAMAR is a four-wheeled, tracked, robot built from T-slot aluminum tubing, 3D-printed materials,and connective components. This robotic system consists of several subsystems. It was completelydeveloped by the students and it was a challenging project. Additional tests are needed to verify theML algorithms’ performance. Also, we have identified several areas for improvement. First,switching back to Tensorflow (from TF-Lite) should fix most errors in plant identification eventhough it will take around 250 msec. Second, we plan to research other mapping tools to be used inthe setup mode. Finally, we should offload the computational unit (Raspberry Pi) to mainly run theML algorithms

Moreimportantly, the findings help to narrow down the materials to be used in the prevention ofpipeline failure.
