“concentricconducting system”. This invention was the core of coax. 3. It is named “coaxial” because twoconductors share the same axis: one conductor is at the center of the cable, and the second iswrapped around it. This design minimizes signal degradation from external electromagneticsources as the signal only transmits between the two conductors. The design had a specific goalin mind: to meet the need for “An enormously wide frequency range” which would facilitateboth the new television technology as well as offer a more effective solution for telephonesystems.

Particularly thecreativity aspect was developed later in the project, and as a result, the produced prototype didnot adhere to the rubric well. With these in mind from the start, a more creative magnetic softrobot could have been developed (e.g. an ocean-themed tentacle robot).ConclusionThe learning outcomes for this soft-robotics-themed project address several needs of theengineering education space.

this project, I was fairly certain that teaching was the right career path for me. This issomething that I have believed for many years. There can be no question that this project gaveme every opportunity to change my mind. I had a certain anxiety about presenting my lectures infront of nearly one hundred students, and this anxiety did not subside over the course of thesemester. For me, this anxiety stems from apprehension about whether I will be able to answer Page 10.1012.6the questions posed by students, whether the students will perceive me as a credible instructor, Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering

As engineers,teamwork is instilled in us at an early stage.

Faced with a common adversary,we stuck together and helped each other, from discussions about theory to aid on homeworkassignments, to advice on how and to handle difficult undergraduate students in the classes weTA'd.
