recommended adesign competition, although others were intimidated by the idea. Several teams went beyond requirements for conceptual designsand developed prototypes. Several modifications were made for the following year. The two design projects were reduced to one,to allow for greater concentration of effort on one project. The current plans call for continuation of the design projects sponsoredby EWB but with an increased number of projects. In cooperation with EWB, a greater number and breadth of topics is beingdeveloped. Effective projects may neither be too broad nor too narrow. Past projects often suffered from a lack of studentimagination simply because there was no concept generation and selection opportunity. Some projects simply involved

This allows students to gain exposure to their field of interest whileacquiring a basic knowledge and respect for other disciplines.IntroductionRobotics as an area of interest encompasses every field of engineering, and requires a wellcalculated plan to implement a successful robot. The diversified nature of robotics gives studentsa comprehensive view of an entire system, rather than just their component disciplines. Skills inspecific areas such as mechanics, programming, system design, and the human interactionsrequired to work in multidisciplinary groups can all be learned through hands-on exposure withrobotics.

The levels of performance and theassociated descriptors provide further detail of what is required to meet and exceed expectations.Making the rubric available early to students in the assessment process allows time for them toconsider and reflect upon what is required based on factors such as time given, resources andtheir aptitude. The weighting of criteria and the levels of achievement allow students to plan theirworkload appropriately.Rubrics assist accountability by providing a measure to which works are compared. By creatingan object that serves as an example of quality and using a scale from poor to excellent, all thestakeholders are able to make decisions based on a standard.14 According

By bridging this gap, mathematics educators ensure that students see why thesemethods work, while engineering faculty contextualize their relevance in practical settings. This collaborative effortthrough a co-teaching approach is expected to foster a deeper integration of analytical and applied knowledge thatreinforces conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.
