Cooperation via an outreachfocus group, for example, with a school district at the point of initial program development andgrant proposal can be an integral part of the process. Initially, curricula must be examined andprospective areas for engineering content addition must be identified initially.Clear communication between district administrators, teachers, graduate students, and outreachproject representatives is crucial in the process of successful outreach development. Clearly,problems most often develop where the communication ties are weak or nonexistent.

A significant finding in thereport is that the users found two features of most use: the ability to add data and link files. Thesimple drawing tools in eCAT were not deemed very useful by many of the users. Although thefile structuring functions of eCAT may not be necessary for simpler undergraduate laboratories,given that practicing engineers found this useful, eCAT may be a good option for upper-levellaboratories and students involved in undergraduate research.Sophomore

However, as the PD progressed, the facilitators began to develop a greaterappreciation for the work done by the teachers.

’ learning.IntroductionCollege provides boundless opportunity to a student in his/her personal, intellectual and socialdevelopment. Among different connections that a college student can make, research shows thatstudent-faculty relationships are the most crucial connection within a collegiate community(Duberstein, 2009). A sense of connection with a faculty member helps students feel like theytruly belong at the institution. When students feel connected to the campus community, they aremore often retained and excel academically, creating a winning situation for everyone. Facultymembers who understand the learning needs and interests of their students can appropriatelytailor assignments, expectations, and conversations.The center of this faculty-student relationship is

Examples of using robotics to teach STEM concepts abound in literature and cover theentire education spectrum from elementary to graduate school.4-6 Unfortunately, theextracurricular nature of robotics contests has not made the use of robotics more central to K-12science and math education. Moreover, the potential for explicitly exploring science and mathprinciples using robotics-based activities remains largely untapped in K-12 schools.7 Manyrobotics-focused K-12 programs are organized as outreach efforts for students’ educationalenrichment and necessitate on-site support of teachers through college-level engineeringstudents5 or volunteer engineering professionals,8 thereby making it difficult to sustain and scale-up projects.

In turn,these experiences could encourage students to consider future careers in engineering and science.
