Courses for Significant Learning”.16 Fink’s approach is an integrated course designthat is based on first developing individual components such as identifying situational factorsand learning goals, and then integrating the individual components into an overall structuredcourse, and finally planning of student factors such as grading system and course syllabus. Finkoffers a taxonomy of significant learning that has a hierarchy which is meaningful in this designcontext such that knowledge, application, and integration are defined.Learning objectives in the Engineering Ethics course:  Students should recognize ethical issues  Students should exercise ethical thinking  Students should apply ethical judgmentThe first

This reality leads to thefirst decision. Is your summer robotic program(s) going to be operated by a not-for-profit entity,or is it being conducted to earn revenue? Revenue generating types of camps, a for-profitorganization, will include different planning, budgeting, and taxation concerns not discussed hereand our recommendation is to organize your camp within a not-for-profit structure. Either way,there are two general avenues for funds that camp organizers can pursue to assist in financing

Communication and documentation of the design process are criticalaspects of technical planning. Once the technical plans are initiated they may evolve due tochanges in requirements. Adherence to NASA’s SE engine during the design processemphasizes the need for proper technical management – an aspect of design that is oftenneglected due to the emphasis that is placed upon system design and

These core conceptsinclude system and subsystems (or autonomous agents), nonlinearity, causality, emergence, self-organization, hierarchical levels, and so on [7].

This meant that while the students could get the apparatus to function, they could notgeneralize from the results.One by one I rewrote the various laboratory syllabi to present the information in schematicfashion. As a result, the students could be expected to connect, operate and test the same type ofmotor or generator of any size and brand within reason. This step-by-step upgrading had a fewresults, both planned and unplanned.First, it became obvious that the students were much more interested in realistic laboratoryoperations.
