The orth-facing Robotic System Hardware:Parallel Boe-Bot, shown as Picture 1, is a popular educational robot. It is controlled by aBASIC Stamp microcontroller. The robot is programmed through a personal computer.Then the control program is downloaded to the microcontroller. The robot can be standalone, disconnected from PC, and powered by its own battery. Different types of sensorscan be added to the robot, for more advanced navigations. Commonly used sensors are IRsensor, light

the curriculum.In 1828, the Institution of Civil Engineers defined engineering as “the art of directinggreat sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man.” 1 By 1956, thisdefinition expanded beyond harnessing physical phenomena to include “application ofknowledge” and “design and production.” 2 What remained consistent however, was theidea that engineering is artfully disposed. This suggests a level of care and understandingthat conjoins thought and feeling. If the transformation of science and technology intoproducts and systems requires empathy or “emotional union,” 3 (i.e., the projection of selfinto objects) then the education and training of engineers should include an understandingof intuitive processing.Engineers must

metrics that we can use to compare this with other standardteaching methods: Cohen’s d (effect size) and absolute scores on post-quizzes. Walberg [5] andBloom [6] presented effect sizes for several standard educational methods including assignedhomework (d=0.30), graded homework (d=0.80), and one-on-one tutoring with a teacher(d=2.00). These indicate that 62% (small effect), 79% (large effect), and 98% (huge effect) ofstudents participating in these interventions had greater learning gains than students who did notparticipate in these interventions. The effect size for our method of collaborative homeworkwhile watching a dialogue example video is d=2.54 (categorized as a “huge” effect), indicatingthat 99% of students doing homework this way

The developed architectureopens the door for more participation from teachers and instructors in developing their owncourses using ITSs and hence for more conviction with ITSs’ role in education.1- IntroductionIt is known that the development of any applied ITS is an extremely difficult and complexproblem. This is because most of the developers start their ITSs from scratch, and thereforethey have to build all of its complex parts, which take great effort and long time. In general,applied ITSs are developed on the basis of preliminary elaborated Expert Systems (ES) in thedomain under study. These ES model the processes of problem solving in certain

Energy conversion courses, as measured from available texts, have notkept up with the rapid changes. The result is a course which has lost its relevance to manyspecialty areas of electrical engineering and one that has failed to keep up with the changes in theway machinery is used in society [2].MOTIVATIONThe consequence has been predictable. The last few decades have seen a continued reduction inthe number of schools requiring an energy conversion course. In the late 70's, energy conversionwas still a required course in a model electrical engineering curriculum [3]. Since then thenumber of schools requiring a course in

The course features manyelements including: design and software engineering, writing for broad audiences, oralpresentations, staged development of the student product, use of modern software tools, andcontact with alumni to bridge students towards their future work environments. Two types ofdata have shaped the lessons learned: formal focus groups conducted with each class of seniordesign students, and informal feedback from well-meaning alumni. The interesting conclusion isthat the very features seniors tend to complain about – design, writing and oral presentation – arethe ones alumni report as the most valuable.1.0 IntroductionCapstone courses in American higher education are thought to date back to the 1850’s, whencolleges like

Research to Practice K-12 Engineering Resources: Best Practices in Curriculum DesignAbstractThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of a curriculum design-based (CDB)professional development model on K-12 teachers’ engineering knowledge, attitudes, andbehaviors. This teacher professional development approach differs from other training programswhere teachers learn how to use a standard curriculum and adopt it in their classrooms. In a CDBprofessional development model teachers actively design lessons, student resources, andassessments for their classroom instruction. In other science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) disciplines, CDB professional development has been reported to (a)position teachers as
