Consequently, this contributes to the continuousimprovement of educational resources within engineering programs, fostering a more robust andmodern teaching environment, and providing engineering students with cutting-edge resources.Through the integration of capstone projects centered on equipment improvements, and guidedby faculty teaching respective courses, students engage in a comprehensive learning experiencethat goes beyond theoretical understanding. They are required to conduct in-depth research of theexisting laboratory setup(s) identifying inefficiencies

have been adopted widely in undergraduate robotics curricula. The kitcontains various mechanical components, sensors, actuators, and a microcontroller (Cortex). Thekit provides instructions to build a mobile robot with a simple arm on top. Using this kit, studentscan go through the process of construction, electronics assembly, and programming. The VEXrobot has been used to implement waypoint navigation, map building, and path planning [1]. However, VEX robots primarily focus on motion control and low-level sensing, and they donot have a vision sensor (such as a CCD camera). As a result, it does not provide an onboard imageprocessing capability. In recent years, cameras have become more widely used on robots, allowinga representation of the

Also, the needto bring students from both campuses into a single section remained, both to meet universityclass size requirements and to have one instructor teach both sections without requiring teachingoverloads. Experience gained through several terms and with different courses, includingcourses teaching computer software, has resulted in a successful model of operation.

In an effort to raise STEM awareness and generate interest among underrepresentedgroups and to enroll more students from high schools, a team from xxxxx campus has designedand conducted a series of hands-on activities at a local urban high school starting in fall 2021.The activities that have been put into practice encompass topics related to mechanical andelectrical engineering technology. These include materials, manufacturing, hydraulics, electriccircuits, and programming. Students nurture their STEM interest through engaging in hands-onpractice in the areas of materials processing, data analysis, and model

would need to be remodeled, removing the IRB to feature the CRB. Each IRB stationwas initially built using custom worktables designed to efficiently hold everything required forthe station and provide a flexible space for lab activities. The initial renovation plan was toreplace the IRB with the CRB, leaving the remaining workstation as-is. However, while theCRB’s work envelope and payload are similar to the IRB, it was determined that importantergonomic factors had been overlooked. The CRB relies on tactile action buttons for jogging andcontrol at the robot's "head" (Fig. 3). This would likely cause most users difficulty in controllingthe robot during activities such as lead-through teaching and jogging, as the necessary controlswould be out

It is estimated thatapproximately 50% of adults in the United States aged 25-32 have attained at least a 2-yeardegree, thus, at least half of the U.S. adult population went through two years of education, butthe rate drops considerably to about 40% for adults that attained at least a bachelor's degree [16].Thence, the majority of the adult population in the U.S. has likely never engaged in aninterdisciplinary research that implements the evidence-based scientific method.

Summer camp istraditionally associated with enjoyable activities and when coupled with the integration ofspecialized academic matter, can offer students to try new things, explore new programs, engageand learn new knowledge, and broaden their horizon and interests. This intense, but shortsequences, provides an ideal means for the introduction and immersion of K-12 students intoareas that might not be easily accomplished in a traditional classroom setting.Summer camps focusing on various engineering fields have been conducted to introduce studentsto the engineering profession and have been
