. 5 General Description You will develop a robotic system that carries a student s backpack that is expected to contain a laptop computer and several textbooks and notebooks. The robot will follow the student as s/he walks on the campus. When the student reaches a classroom building s/he will either lock the robot in a university-provided locker or carry the robot to class. The robot must be able to navigate on flat and inclined paved surfaces at a reasonable walking speed (up to 4 mph). The robot must be able to have enough on-board power to operate for at least two hours without recharging. Students should be able to recharge the robot by plugging the robot into a wall power outlet. Each team must develop a
in regards to utilization of LMS products and studentengagement.As Kuh et al. (2001)6 discovered “...it appears that the further away from campus (walkingdistance, driving distance) the less likely a student is to take advantage of the educationalresources the institution provides” (p.5). It is up to administrators, IT professionals andinstructors to engage those urban, commuter students and provide them with the sameopportunities their fellow on campus colleagues can access.Bibliography1.

The students have the opportunity to work on a practical design project and to interactwith outside engineers. The companies also have the ability to work directly with some of ourbrightest and most capable students, providing them an opportunity to identify potential newhires.Bibliography1. Dym, C. L., A. M.

Theprogram seeks to broaden Computer Science Fellows’ backgrounds in their chosen area(s) ofdiversification while preparing them for a graduate studies or for successful careers. TheComputer Science Fellows is a major within the School of Engineering & Computer Sciencewhere fellows are free to create an individualized course of study with the advice of a programdirector who mentors them throughout the entire undergraduate experience. The program hascourse requirements in computer science as well as other core courses

Projectsare presented by faculty members in the College, and students indicate their preferences.Subsequently, teams are formed, with the number of students in each team being decided by thetechnical advisor(s), the course coordinator, and any sponsor(s) in function of the expectationsfor the project. Most of the teams have three students, and students’ preferences have shifted inthe past years from having more interest on internal projects (i.e., no industry involvement) tohaving projects where an industry sponsor is involved.

finals, coupled with various business and Christmasactivities of employees of CenterPoint Energy, and business travel by the PHEV representativemade it impossible to gather a group of CenterPoint Energy employees for the studentpresentations. Thus, only the CenterPoint Energy PHEV representative and the project professorwere gathered to hear the student presentations. A rating form was prepared for the CenterPointEnergy representative and the professor to rate the presentations. It is illustrated in Figure 1below. The students did not rate one another’s presentations because of the difficulty ofproviding anonymity.

While CHAT cannot develop universally correct solutions,by identifying common problems CHAT can mitigate some of the stress resulting fromambiguity and encourage a mutual exchange of strategies and techniques to rein in suchcomplexity.

Examples of this can be seen in theconceptual frameworks presented below. Student 1’s perception of the stages of designbecame much more balanced in the post task model, with the student placing emphasis on allstages of design and a more equal importance placed on each stage. Comparatively, student12 placed less emphasis on some stages of the design task. Post Post Figure 2: Samples of students’ pre and post models
