any additional questions that have not been answered during the study time. Afterwards, everyone can make a copy of the questions and ask their professors in the next class.In addition, this lesson teaches the team manager and team recorder how to be facilitators andhow to help the study team members stay focused and maximize their study time. They also helptheir study team avoid the following common pitfalls [10]: • Hero trap—the team relies on one person to answer all of the questions. • Social trap—the team discusses everything related to life EXCEPT the math or physics subject matter. • Freeloader trap—under-prepared teammate(s) who rely on others to “give” them the answers.In the second week

research in the formof customer interviews, concept testing surveys, and conjoint analyses are encouraged. Finallythe students develop a strategy for reaching their market segment(s) and provide a riskassessment. Students submit a 20-page (maximum) report on their findings.Grade Assessment. Grade assessments are based on: class attendance and participation; essayassignments on the cases; in-class quizzes on the cases and related readings; problem sets; andthe abovementioned term project. Attendance and classroom participation comprise 30% of thefinal grade. Essay assignments, quizzes and problem sets comprise 40%. The term projectcomprises 30%. Attendance is usually not a problem with this popular class. Nevertheless,students understand that any

ofthese Case Studies taken from the author’s Instructional Lecture Notes, keep in mind thegeneral common features that are intended to attract the attention of the reader (thestudent engineer):1. The attempt to seamless integrate (some would say “sneak up on the student”) theengineering problem or life situation into a cultural setting,2. The clear references to names and dates in a readable style that is done in a writingstyle that is less of the sterile engineering that is often found in technical papers and textsand more of a common language.3. The action item(s) at the end of the Case Study presentation that attempts to have thestudent study or at least appreciate the human or social content of the situation as well asengineering content.4

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE MAY A ROBOT EMIT AN IR SIGNAL at either of the two possible marker beacon frequencies of 100 Hertz or 125 Hertz. A robot may emit an IR signal as a result of using an approved sensor that incorporates an IR light emitting diode. Examples of such permitted sensors include shaft encoders, optosensors, and the Sharp Model GP2D12 IR ranging device. Budgetary – Each team will have a discretionary budget of $150. Each team will also be loaned a programmable controller board and issued a set of basic sensors. The actual cost of purchasing parts
