There was no correlationbetween the survey and exam grades. The second study was an experiment using two sections ofone class of lower division Computer Science students. The experimental group reported timespent on projects and lecture preparation in periodically administered surveys and the controlgroup did not. The study showed that the experimental group achieved significantly higherperformance on all project grades and on the exam grade during one time period compared to thecontrol group. We discuss the use of our results in Computer Science and Engineering and theneed for replication and

Capacitors are used acrosseach resistor to filter out this noise, as shown in figure 1. This voltage represents the control positionand is fed into four ADC channels of Arduino to get corresponding digital values. The Arduino UNOADC has a resolution of 10 bit, means it maps input voltages between 0 and 5V into digital valuesbetween 0 and 1023; in other words, 4.9mV per unit.

The benefits of robotics, however, depend on workers with up-to-date knowledge and skills to maintain and use existing robots, enhance future technologies, andeducate users.

first-year projects courses were beneficial in helping students understand thepotential for engineering to positively impact people’s lives. Of the students who indicated thattheir primary reason for selecting an engineering major was to help people, 50% persisted in CE,AE, or EvE disciplines, 11% transferred to other engineering disciplines, and 39% transferred tonon-engineering disciplines. These students cited multiple reasons for plans to transfer out ofengineering. Most of the students motivated to a career where they could help people maintainedthis vision for non-engineering disciplines. The study results indicate that serving societythrough engineering is a significant motivation for many female students and that furtheremphasis on the
