However, there are also transformations that changes the shape of the graph, such asg(x) = 2f(x), or g(x) = f(3x).Quadratic Functions Another mathematical concept used in the demonstrations is quadratic functions.Students first learn that the height of an object in free fall follows this quadratic function:Where, is the height of the object (in meters) at any given time t (seconds), is the initialvelocity (meters per second), is the initial height, t is time, and is the gravity constant, 2which is 9.8 m/s .The time it takes the object reach its maximum height is given

Additionally, an even Page 22.1397.12closer interaction between lecture and laboratory seems to be required; perhaps only one course,in a mixed lecture-lab classroom should be implemented.

to trisect the entirecamp experience into pre-camp, camp and post-camp components.Pre-campAlthough making money is not the goal of most robotics camps, organizers must still collectmoney and must distribute those funds to meet the needs of the camp. This reality leads to thefirst decision. Is your summer robotic program(s) going to be operated by a not-for-profit entity,or is it being conducted to earn revenue? Revenue generating types of camps, a for-profitorganization, will include different planning, budgeting, and taxation concerns not discussed hereand our recommendation is to organize your camp within a not-for-profit structure. Either way,there are two general avenues for funds that camp organizers can pursue to assist in financing

Instead of delving straight into calculations, we have the students build a catapult from plans and parts that we provide.

The current curriculum through the proposed technical electives already to some extent captures alternatives. However, there is room for additional courses that would both compliment and supplement the current experience. These would be in the following areas: o Product Lifecycle Management (PLM): Exposure to the setup and use of a Product Data Management system would be

defined as the ability to easily be moved or carried1. A key component of manymilitary systems is their ability to be quickly assembled/disassembled, moved to differentlocations, and to use minimum manpower and equipment in order to accomplish the mission.One problem in redesigning systems to increase portability is that there is not currently anestablished rubric for measuring portability. The portability of a system is a function of severaldifferent aspects. We have developed a rubric to measure a system’s portability. The rubricincludes 18 parameters (Table 1) as discussed in detail below.In order to use the rubric, each of the 18 portability measures identified above is quantified forthe system(s) being evaluated.
