We have a similar program in musicalinstrument manufacture7 and are currently starting a biomedical program by bringingtogether engineering students and researchers nutrition. By involving the undergraduatesin all parts of the research (from educational research to design, usability, andfabrication), by choosing research problems with social relevance and by letting thestudents be part of the selection process, we have found that the students can learn farbetter by “doing” and from each other than they can sitting in a classroom looking at achalkboard.The Program The Robotics Academy was created three years ago in order to provide a project-based teaching and learning environment for
