toward becoming awelcoming facility, one that invites users in to use it. By “users”, I mean everyone who uses it:students first of all, but also teachers, administrative, staff, and other school-related visitors. Oneessential component of “a welcoming” design is visibility. A user should always be able to findhis or her way from point A to point B with relative ease. This aspect of circulation (whicharchitects refer to as wayfinding) can be enhanced through clear, easily intelligible signage that Page 10.731.7is placed just where people will need it.

In the Tug of war, ROVs were paired to compete with each other as shown in Figure 6. In each match, the ROV that could drag the opponent toward its end of the pool for one foot wins.The following figures show two snapshots of the competition. In Figure 7, one student groupis controlling their ROV for the Underwater Maze contest. In the left image, an operator isusing a hand controller to control the direction and speed of the ROV, while using a TV setto display the video stream fed from the onboard

Other institutions have shown a significantimprovement in academic performance from using video instruction, as outlined by Canelos andCatchen [5].In terms of retention, there are no accurate statistics available and this is difficult to measurebecause students drop courses for a variety of reasons and there are a number of required firstyear foundation courses. However, the drop rate in Electronics 1 is lower than previously andlower than that in equivalent first year subjects which are not supplemented by video production.Potential for other UsesAs previously discussed

Tankbot: Tankbot is a tank-like robot that drives forward for a while, turns on the spot, and repeats. Students learn two ways of steering a robot, and the difficulty of driving straight due to mis-matched motors, friction, or environmental factors. They are also in- troduced to several programming constructs and good programming style. Bumpbot: Bumpbot is another tank-like robot

At the end of the week, they analyzethe activities to determine how much time is spent on important activities versusunimportant or time wasting activities. They also comment on their ability to havecompleted the important activities to their satisfaction. They do this by rating eachactivity according to some scale, such as very important - must be done; important -should be done; and unimportant, other scales, such as the familiar A, B, and C scale.After rating the activities, students use the information to determine how they used theirtime.

For example, a student might self-assess a ‘none’ skilllevel for a particular category or question at the start of the semester, and a value of ‘high’ at the endof the semester. As such, their change in skill would be a +3. Thus, the maximum and minimumchange expected for any student would be +3 and –3, respectively.These surveys were not anonymous, for they were used for two purposes: 1) To put the students in initial 2-person agile design teams. 2) To compare
