A recent study by Davis et al., suggests that there is a need to match thecapstone course objectives within an engineering curriculum to the attributes needed of topquality engineers.10 As a result, in order to make the IPT project more beneficial, the IPT facultyengaged the UAHuntsville Department of Education to establish an interdisciplinarycollaboration in order to learn how to evaluate the current programThe first task of the new collaborative research team was to determine what aspects of the IPTproject to assess. While the course assignments, reviews by external review boards, and finalreports were all part of the course, there was no evaluation plan to determine if the capstonecourse had a

Virtual Medibotics program was based upon an earlier in-person professionaldevelopment program funded by NSF. The Medibotics program (Medibotics, the Merging ofMedicine, Robotics and Information Technology), was developed as a novel teachingapproach, which focused on the development of projects that were medical in origin,enabling the incorporation of information technology (IT), engineering and technology intothe physics, biology and mathematics curricula of middle and high school classrooms [10],[11]. The projects were predominantly recreations of robotic surgical procedures thatincorporated learning outcomes already required in the teachers’ courses.

Botball Challenge, and how it can be used as a class project.1 IntroductionIntroductory engineering courses are used to teach general principles while introducing thestudents to all of the engineering disciplines. Robotics, as a multi-disciplinary application can bean ideal subject for projects that stress the different engineering fields. A major consideration inestablishing a robotics course emphasizing mobile robots is the type of hands-on laboratoryexperience that will be incorporated into the course of instruction. Most electrical engineeringschools lack the machine shops and expertise needed to create the mechanical aspects of a robotsystem. Most mechanical engineering schools lack the electronics labs and expertise needed forthe

This goal was accomplishedwithout sacrificing or compromising the school’s underpinning college-preparatory,academically-focused curriculum.88.46% of students self-reported that they learned fabrication skills from the project they hadpreviously not been exposed to: using a drill press, tapping threads in metal, and assembling amechanical device. 79.49% agreed the project was interesting to them. While these quantitativemetrics demonstrate success, the project created more even positive benefits and classroomlearning than is reflected in these statistics.Kellman argued that reliance on high-stakes tests to measure academic performance has taughtstudents that problems have only one right answer, and finding it
