During this session, studentswere introduced to: (a) industrial robots and the tasks they often perform, (b) task planning andcommunication with robots (programming concepts), and (c) robotics-related jobs and theimportance of studying math and science in school. Several short video segments (2-5 minuteseach) showing industrial robots performing interesting tasks were also shown to the studentsduring this session.After the initial 40 minute session, the research team met with each of the second-grade classesseparately for a robot programming activity. The goal of this activity was to engage the childrenin a fun, hands-on activity that would introduce them to the concepts of task

Theobjective is to determine during design how these failures are likely to occur, to estimate theirprobability of occurrence, and to take corrective action. Often safety-related failure modes have alow probability of occurrence and are difficult to estimate3. An example of how FTA is appliedis shown in Figure 5. An equivalent fault tree is determined using Boolean algebra to identifythose combinations of events that will cause the top event, generally a failure, to occur.

raw material. Several cases of rough surface of FDM products have been documented. Figure 3(a) shows that the slanted (or curved) surfaces of FDM products can be ragged due to the size of plastic filament that forms the layers. Figure 3(b) shows a different problem. The component of an air filtration system (senior design, fall 2011), which should be perfectly circular, came out with small edges that affected the airflow. It was caused by a low resolution setting when the students translated the CAD model into STL format (commonly used by RP machines). The STL format uses triangular mesh to approximate 3D designs. With a low resolution, the STL file is compact, but the approximation of curvatures can be
