Mitracoined the concept “Minimally Invasive Education.” This is a system of education wherechildren are responsible for their learning, and adults intervene only when absolutely necessary.A pedagogic method driven by mere curiosity coupled with minimal interventions from a teacherleads the children to explore with peers and results in learning. Mitra’s studies show that anylearning environment that provides an adequate level of curiosity can effect learning and satisfyinquisitiveness.

The mind maps werefound to be effective in assisting the development of concepts for wall-climbing capability andthe resulting two prototypes showed definitive feasibility of the two wall-climbing concepts.1 INTRODUCTIONThe capability for a robotic system to climb walls has many advantages. In addition to providingenhanced ability to gather intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) information, manytimes there is a need for the robotic system to move from level to level inside a structure.Robotic systems that fly can, of course, accomplish this “wall-climbing” capability. However,flying systems have at least two significant drawbacks. First, they most often consume far morepower than a

Students withdisabilities and students of color were systematically excluded from educational opportunities,impacting their educational outcomes and resulting in civil rights lawsuits. Moreover, thedissolution of neighborhood schools had devastating impacts beyond the classroom, as it meant acritical source of stability in students’ and families’ lives was removed just when they mostneeded to see familiar faces and sustain routines in the face of trauma.Because engineering has largely existed outside of K-12 curricula, many engineering educationefforts in K-12 are already privatized in some way.

The students are a vital portion of the raw materials tothis process and issues that affect their quantity and quality also affect the resulting number ofdegree-holders. Studying this process in order to identify significant factors that affect theproduction of degree-holders could provide a guide towards improving the process. Amethodology to test the effect of these factors could aid in designing an intervention program toencourage and assist more students in pursuing a college degree in STEM.Developing such a methodology starts with examining the work of education researchers whohave explored the motivations of students and the

Severalprofessional engineering organizations, such as ABET and NAE have outlined ethics as a keycomponent of engineering education that needs improvement [2],[3].

The individual who may be seeking a role model, the role aspirant [15],ultimately determines whether a role model prospect is a role model to them. As such, weconsider outreach educators to be role model prospects until a child identifies them as a rolemodel.Although the idea of introducing youth to role model prospects sounds reasonable, research doesnot overwhelmingly support the effectiveness of these potential role models. Despite claims thatrole models are one answer to increasing underrepresentation in engineering, the addition of rolemodel prospects to outreach programs does not necessarily improve
