IntroductionConnecting math and science concepts to real-world applications can help to generate studentinterest in STEM disciplines and careers. There have been significant outreach efforts to engagestudents in STEM-related activities, primarily with the intent of generating interest in STEMfields, but these efforts are not necessarily intended to teach specific K-12 math and scienceconcepts. In this research, we present the design, development, and assessment of a university-led outreach program to address these needs. The presented work is focused on identifying andlinking 5th – 12th grade math

Third, it enables them to know the real-world application of the skills they acquire in various learning activities.The development and implementation of LEWAS has been planned in three phases.

FRAMEWORK & CONSTRUCT:Some authors suggest that the ideal means of teaching real world issues is through the application of casestudies in the classroom. Case studies offer facts, opinions, and prejudices of real world situations/issuesto students for “considered analysis, open discussion, and final discussion as to the type of action thatshould be taken.” 4 Industry-led case studies, those administered by members from a representativeindustry, arguably have an advantage, then, at elevating the reality of particular issues graduates may facein their job because their scenarios theoretically come from experience. Business schools often use casestudies and have found great success with their implementation. Inherently case studies move

All these experiments need to be conducted in different environments, indoorsand outdoors, and the type of obstacles also need to vary to create a realistic environment. Theimportance and desirability of developing vision-based mobile robotic systems are explored.Based on these studies, it is possible to develop and deploy an automated multi-robot system tohelp in construction applications. By adding more sensors, like ultrasonic sensors, to the blimp,obstacle avoidance can be achieved, as well as more accurate data. The hierarchical task solutioncan also be applied and tested in a real heterogeneous robotic system rather than a

Students were also asked to respond to anon–line questionnaire aimed at evaluating their experience. Responses were tabulated to measurestudents’ feedback in 3 major areas: their understanding of microwave theory of distributedcomponents; their understanding of the PCB technology applied to microwave design; and theirchallenges related to the execution of their project.This paper is organized as follows: the main features

Such learning deficiencies can be largely attributed to theineffectiveness of the traditional lecture-mode of teaching during which much effort is spent onthe analysis of discrete members, while less emphasis is devoted to understanding the behaviorof the entire structure in a three-dimensional (3D) structural context.In this study, we explore the potential of augmented reality (AR) to facilitate the teaching ofstructural analysis concepts. AR combines the real world with the virtual content so that itconserves users’ awareness of the real world environment in a 3D space [3]. It enables users tovisualize virtual objects and to interact with both real and virtual objects in the same context [4]thus extending their perception

By making connections betweenmath, science, and engineering early in their core engineering courses, we expect theircomprehension, retention, and fluency in these subjects to improve.These observations resonate with engineering faculty observations that students often do notrecognize basic mathematical principles that are well covered in the engineering
