IntroductionIn 1996, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) approved a new setof engineering accreditation criteria, called Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC 2000). These newcriteria will be used by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) for accreditingengineering programs and will be phased in over a three year period beginning fall 1998.During the first three years programs visited will have the option of using
, capstone designprojects usually either require a massive learning curve to build on previous systems or arerelegated to relatively simple designs, many of which are repeated year after year. This paperdescribes the educational experience gained through design and construction of an R2D2 replicafrom the Star Wars™ movies. The initial project incorporates basic radio control as well assimple autonomous navigation and limited user interface with the capability for futureexpansion. The modular design is intended to allow future capstone groups to add innovativenew features as well as novel applications of well established technologies. In addition to beinga motivational project for senior-level engineering students, it is also a marketing tool for

By encouraging activeparticipation, advancing educational equity, and equipping students for success in their academicand professional lives, this technology can improve engineering education.Adaptive Learning Modules OverviewThe ALMs serve two purposes: to reinforce understanding for all students and to reduceperformance gaps in introductory mechanics courses. By focusing on common problem areas,they are designed to provide personalized feedback and guidance that promotes conceptualunderstanding. Key topics identified for modules in Dynamics include Newton’s Second Law forparticles, Coriolis acceleration, rigid

In order to apply, theyneeded to teach science, math, technology, or engineering at the middle school or high schoollevel and teach in one of the program’s 14 partner school districts. Approximately 20 newteachers are selected to a new cohort each year, based on district recommendations and ascreening process designed to identify if the program is a good fit for applicants. This paperfocuses on the first two cohorts of teachers participating in CEEMS. Cohort 1 teachers startedthe program in June 2012 and completed the program in May 2014.
