Since 1994, he has directed an extensive engineering mentoring-research academic success and professional development (ASAP) program that has served over 500 students. These efforts have been supported by NSF STEP, S-STEM, and CSEM grants as well as industry. Dr. Rodriguez’ research inter- ests include: control of nonlinear distributed parameter, and sampled-data systems; modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) of Flexible Autonomous Machines operating in an uncertain Environment (FAME); design and control of micro-air vehicles

facilities, there is currently no accessible and free software that cangive students the opportunity to learn about using the robotic hardware without purchasingexpensive, complex, proprietary software packages. The RobotRun software will show a 3D,animated rendering of a robotic arm that can be controlled via an intuitive programminglanguage that is similar to the programs used to program real robotic arms. The programminglanguage in the robotic arm simulator software will provide all of the basic commands that existin real-world robotics systems so that students can easily transfer the knowledge gained from thedeveloped software to real-world robotic arms. The software will allow the user to control wherethe end-effector should jog, at what speed

Beginning in the elementary school level, WERC and CA2VES have engaged studentswith virtual reality simulations that combine the animation of a beetle moving through a turbineengine with learning about what makes the engine work. The exposure of math and science inthis capacity helps young students gain more interest than fear of these sometimes difficultsubjects. Moving to middle school, this organization has engaged in career fairs and science fairexpos where numerous industry and education partners set up booths to display careerinformation to rising eight graders. It is during the eight grade year that students in South Carolina choose
