did not find value in the extent of review. The challengeof balancing the learning needs of two different cohorts is a common theme arising ininterdisciplinary engineering education [2]. Two major adjustments are planned for the secondoffering to address this imbalance. The first adjustment is to include a more extensive review oftopics from computing, particularly the use of computational models. The second adjustment isto shift much of the prerequisite review to offline learning modules that students can completeindependently. This will allow students to work through prerequisite material at their own pace,possibly spending less time on topics with which they are already familiar. This format willmaintain sufficient lecture time to cover

Case learners prepare for the case by reading and analyzing it 2. Optionally - students can perform a deeper preparation by having a priori small group discussions 3. An in-class discussion is done for the case 4. An end-of-class summary is provided by the facilitatorAs there are many books on the case method, our approach uses ideas from Rosenthal andBrown’s book for examples of pedagogically strong cases [10], and Barnes, Christensen, andHansen’s book [11] on how to teach cases (readers should note that this book is not only good forlearning about the case method, but

We were each assigned three sections of students to teach over the course of thesemester and selected ten (of 40) scheduled 55-minute lectures in which review questions were used toassess the students’ grasp of course material presented during the lessons.

In particular, the authors have had many years of experience usingMATLAB as the development environment of choice in their classes. MATLAB has beenespecially useful since robots are rarely stand alone systems. As such, they are frequentlyinterfaced with existing image processing or path planning routines, which may likely have beenwritten in one of these higher level languages.In contrast, the latest Scorbot model, the ER 4u, is no longer controlled through an RS232 typeserial link.

Theproject involved a complex consideration of politics, economics, technology, logistics, andpeople issues. Garbage and recycling collection boats have different designs, and there exist acomplex set of traffic patterns for collection, many of which were based on historical reasonsrather than logic and most of which result in unnecessary boat trips. In addition to theengineering issues, recycling was not generally adhered to so addressing incentives andeducation was critical. The result was a plan that would allow for significant decreases in trashthat needs processing while collecting much more recycling material without
