This allowed students with minimalmathematical training or engineering based design experience to actually see andhandle the fruition of a thought process that could conceivably answer a technicalrequirement or need.Setup would allow students to work with predefined plans and process steps to produceparts and pieces that could come together to form objects (e.g. drone bodies or low-costscientific weather stations [2]). Students could further develop the skills learned byattending the 8-week Advanced Manufacturing Summer Institute coordinated by AMIand hosted by a partnering institution. The students learn about mechatronics,metrology, and enhance their CAD capabilities from supplemental training and

The student wasparticularly impressed with the ability to perform immediate “what-if” scenarios andunderstood the impact of each task on the critical path, bestowing a sense of urgency andownership of those tasks.

between technological progress on the one hand, and existinglimitations in educational and socioeconomic resources on the other, a varied number ofvisionary frameworks and strategic plans have been put forth by commissions of theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET)1, the National Academy ofEngineering (NAE)2, and the National Science Foundation (NSF)3. A strong, consistentrecommendation in these reports is the need for engineering graduates to have professionaldevelopment, or “soft” skills. The visions of these reports have particular relevance tobioengineering, a discipline whose explosive international growth is generating abundant careerdevelopment, professional development, and humanitarian development opportunities

A unique feature of theseworkshops was that teachers from all curricular areas were encouraged to participate, includingEnglish, history, and social studies. The summer enrichment programs were designed to providehigh school students with exposure to the emerging technologies, encouragement toward STEM-related careers, and a college experience.

path from the initial state to an end state in the acceptablezone?The first question depends on the intervention planned. For example, it is clear that if theeducational intervention is intended to ensure that every first grader is reading on grade level,then it is possible to have a non-empty acceptable zone. However, if the intention is for everythird grader to understand calculus, then it is highly unlikely that there will be any acceptableend states. For most cases, the answer to this question will be determined by how well theintervention matches the given context of the school being studied.The second question is also dependent upon the context but it is also highly dependent on theavailable resources.

If your projectrequires specific students, or students with special skills, what happens if those students are notavailable? These questions were two that we did not discuss during the development of the project -how could such a thing ever actually happen? Unfortunately, it did happen, and it would

The goal of the project is to create a flying robot that can liftand land safely, maintain level flight, and follow a simple straight line flight pattern while avoidingobstacles. As of this writing, a prototype machine has been designed and built. The actualimplementation and testing of the electronic hardware design and control algorithms are currentlybeing performed.
