studentpopulations, which includes both traditional and non-traditional students. Students who havebeen out of school for several years after high school may find programming particularlychallenging, while students who have just graduated from high school may find it less so. Toovercome this challenge, it is suggested to teach programming using familiar tools from thevery beginner level to the intermediate level. This paper proposes a new course to teach thefoundational concepts of programming using LEGO EV3, a robotics toolkit, and MATLABto control the LEGO robots. The course consists of three parts: Basics, Assigned Projects,and Student-Led Projects. In the Basics part, students learn fundamental programmingconcepts such as algorithms, flowcharts

articulation within a statewide system ofschools and was built so as to reduce information asymmetry at a root source, namely by pro-viding clarity around the underlying requirements that must be satisfied through course taking inorder to earn a degree at both the home and receiving institutions. The significant complexity ofthis problem is considered, and an effective approximation algorithm is described that is shown toyield good results. The system also produces analyses of the transfer pathways it finds, helpingstudents and advisors to better understand why various pathways are being recommended. Thisdemonstration leads to a fundamental consideration that is addressed in the paper; specifically, theextent to which transfer processes can be made

common intervals within each chord type holdregardless of musical key.This commonality of intervals led the music student to conceive of a spreadsheet-baseddatabase with lookup functions to identify correct notes in each chord driven by the musicalkey. With little experience with databases and spreadsheet functions, the music studentreached out to the engineering students for help.ProblemsAs expected, the community college music theory student spends a lot of time studying,writing notes, listening to chords, and memorizing note intervals within chords. Many musictheory students do so. The community college’s target homework for a 3-credit course suchas music theory, is 6 to 9 hours of homework per week. For this study, one music studentwith

these proposal writers. Because two-year colleges represent akey component in the engineering education ecosystem, we hope to support and encourageothers to join the RED community.Introduction According to the National Science Foundation website, the Directorates for Engineering(ENG) and STEM Education (EDU) fund projects through the Revolutionizing EngineeringDepartments (RED) program to support: revolutionary new approaches to engineering education, ranging from changing the canon of engineering to fundamentally altering the way courses are structured to creating new departmental structures and educational collaborations with industry. A common thread across these projects is a focus on organizational and cultural

fundamental knowledge abouthow NSF-ATE grants work, PI responsibilities, and NSF expectations among new PIs at two-year colleges. Since the PI 101 program is managed by experienced PIs, and only highlyexperienced and successful ATE PIs serve as mentors, those working with new-to-ATE PIs mustbe sensitive to what it was like when they received their first award. No level of knowledge orunderstanding about project or program logistics should be assumed. For example, a questionasked by many teams was when they could expect the check from NSF. They did not know thatthere is no grant award check coming from NSF. Awarded grant funds are accessed through asystem of electronic funds-transfer via a draw-down process. Others wanted to know whatshould be

more time to work on projects whilst otherswanted less time. Some preferred partners whilst others would have preferred working alone.However, everyone would have preferred a more informal experience with more studentchoice (i.e. how much time to commit to projects, what final presentations look like, howstrict final project requirements are). “I really enjoyed the Arduino project this summer. I came into the program only having a vague understanding of programming, and am now leaving with a good foundation of fundamentals. Keeping the Sparkfun kit is incredibly valuable to be able to continue practicing and learning more through the projects and am very grateful to receive it.” “Similar to the [energy] workshop, homework or an

variables in a free-living environment willallow for an improved understanding of the link between the change in gait and healthconditions. Furthermore, compared to the cross-sectional in-lab assessment, continuousmonitoring will allow for an enhanced understanding of changes in gait from day to day that mayalert the healthcare team to a change in functional and health status. Through a collaborativeproject funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH), the Intelligent Structural HazardMitigation Laboratory at SFSU is developing the fundamental knowledge needed to establish analways-on, non-intrusive, non-wearable sensing system for the automated estimation of at-homegait parameters using floor vibrations. In this project, the students
