As it isshown in this paper, students will learn not only ROS, but also programming to run various sensorsand actuators along with a vision system. With adequate instructions, we believe students will beable to complete this project in one semester through four separate modules: vision, actuation(servo motors), control, and system integration. Additionally, other relevant topics such as robotdynamics and digital control can also be taught with the system presented in this paper.7. ConclusionThis paper presents a ROS-based solid multi

For instance, in this course, soft skills such as technical writing, use of Excel,developing an individual academic plan of study, cooperative education, internships, culturaldiversity, quality, safety, and ethics are covered. Basic technical skills covered include math,mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering technology. The rationale for this course is toexpose students to these subjects and topics before they enroll in core engineering technologycourses such as applied statics.Assessment of learning:While the author plans to conduct this

that a large percentage of students in engineering programs switch theirmajors in the first two years. A study has reported that retention rates can be improved throughmultiple strategies that include making curriculum changes, moving practical engineeringlaboratories earlier in the curriculum, integrating projects into classes, and other classenhancements1. Another reason given by students who switch to other majors is that teachingapproaches are not suitable for current populations of students who learn and acquire newknowledge quite differently from those of earlier generations2, 3.Several new pedagogical approaches have been proposed to improve engineering education, suchas the use of hands-on tools to change the learning style in the

Numerous inductive or experiential learning techniques exist toaddress these issues, including case-based learning, project-based learning, discovery learning,and more.

Unfortunately this resulted in the lowest pass rate ourdepartment had observed in several years at 40%.We found that students, when given multiple test date options, instead of taking the exam earlier,students postponed taking the test until late into the spring quarter. In some instances, ourstudents, feeling the pressure of encroaching graduation and senior design project deadlines,simply went into the test centers and put in little effort. Their motivation was mainly getting thetick mark to ensure they graduated.For our part, because of the continuous dates, we did not offer an organized review session to ourstudents as we had in the past.

Eighty faculty members, in two batches, attended the workshop, which itself used manyof the above RBIS. The participating faculty members reflected on the strategies in

. The lectures which introduce and then developthese concepts are usually very detailed and technically dense by necessity. Students often audiorecord these lectures for repeated playback outside of class, but the associated derivations anddiagrams cannot easily be captured unless taken cell phone video during lecture. This solution isnot ideal since picture quality of written or projected imagery can be insufficient, and manyprofessors do not wish to be videotaped during a lecture. This situation has led students toformally request high quality videos (technical content and production values) which can berepeatedly viewed outside of lecture as needed to assist with mastering the material.The objective of the work described in this paper is to
