the performance to be better than if Turtlebot was relying solely on the map. Thereare 3 main problems that were observed when driving Turtlebot on this robot-made map. Themaps shown in Figures 1.4a,b were previously edited in Gimp as explained earlier. Any missinggaps were filled in and small sections of the map were stitched together to create a master robot-made map. Figures 1.4 a,b Highlighting problems encountered in the robot-made mapping method The first problem encountered in this map was the stitching process. Figure 1.4a shows 2of the problems highlighted in the yellow and red boxes. The yellow box shows that the hallwayhas almost doubled in width, which occurred when Turtlebot shifted its map’s coordinate systemduring

Continuing this research line, we wish to (a) contribute to the understanding ofengineering student identity; (b) understand the factors (experiences, situations, and settings) thatfoster the formation and transformation of identity during the undergraduate experience; and (c)gain insight into improving recruitment and retention of engineering students, particularlyunderrepresented students. However, in order to empirically explore the role of identity forengineering students, we must first have a psychometrically sound measure of engineeringstudent identity.Why Care About Identity?

heated for 15 minutes by a 200-W resistance heater placed inside the cylinder. The pressure of air is maintained constant during this process. Determine the entropy change of air, assuming (a) constant specific heats and (b) variable specific heats.9By thermodynamics standards, this is a short problem. Many textbook problems have multiple-page solutions. Though relatively short, students still needed a significant amount of time toremember the first law and ideal gas law concepts required to figure out the solution. For thisreason, only a small number of problems could be assigned at one time. Thus practice on the newtopics was somewhat limited.After quizlets were introduced, practice for this week consisted of in-class

feedback about the relative challenge of individualproblems (“The A-problem was just like the example, but man, that B problem was wild!”)If, with careful monitoring, student learning is not going as planned, the instructor must beprepared to deviate from the previously planned progressive peer group. Variations on thismethod that the author has invoked include: having the entire class work on one problemtogether, nominally in groups of threes, but coming together as a class to work through thechallenging portions and discuss ideas on how to proceed. The author has also stoppedprogressive peer work to bring the entire class together to discuss a concept if it is clear there iswide-spread confusion or misconceptions. There have been times where
