Cost Analysis: Cost of currently available products in comparison to the WitBot (when assembling 10) in USDThe cost of educational robots varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer due to variancein componentry, software design, and modularity. Despite this wide range of prices, the WitBotis still able to come in at a low cost compared to many of the main products on the market whilestill retaining functionality such as including multiple sensors like a line finder and an ultrasonicsensor as well as integrating a visual coding interface.ConclusionThis paper presented a small, affordable, open-source educational

Specifically, this section focuses on theselection of the rotator, antenna, and software used in the operation of the ground station.4.3.1 Design ConsiderationsFor a ground station design to be accepted and ubiquitous in aerospace education, the groundstation design must satisfy the following design considerations: low-cost and reliable. In thissection, the development of the ground station was conducted to meet those criteria whileallowing it to accomplish the learning objectives. Specifically, the ground station must below-cost and easily acquired, and it needs to be a tested design that can be operated by students.The key features needed in a ground station to satisfy the learning objectives are that the

Educational Neural Network Development and Simulation Platform. Albert M. Knebel, Monroe Community College Dorin Patru, Rochester Institute of TechnologyAbstractAn educational software platform has been developed to introduce students to the design andoperation of neural networks. The platform consists of a graphical user interface (GUI) written inC# where network parameters can be applied in the construction of the network. Currently, theplatform can manage a fully-connected three-layer neural network that recognizes the hand-written digits in the MNIST database and can function as an educational tool to introduce neuralnetwork computing

The game is developedbased on a design of geothermal piles which represent an innovative and sustainablegeotechnical solution to the global climate change issue. Virtual reality is applied to visualizethe field environments (e.g., geomaterials, ground conditions, and sampling), laboratoryconditions (e.g., technician, testing devices, and tools), and design components for structuralsimulation (i.e., finite element software). The gameplay is story-based and task-driven toengage students with geotechnical concepts in a pleasant way. Several mini-games have

Specifically, we have focused on the development of appletsthat can be easily incorporated into undergraduate courses and high-school courses to have amuch larger impact through a broadened dissemination. In the following section, we discuss thedesign and development criteria that are followed in the software development cycle of theeducational applets used in these materials.III. Educational Applets design and developmentThe design (and analysis) of an applet mainly involves the design of the applet screen and thedesign of the various visual components of the applet in conformance to a set of general butimportant guidelines that usually improve a user’s perception of the problem [4].

education. With access to the Cloud, an educational institution can quickly develop and deliver advanced distance learning, with excellent benefits to STEM education. Quick availability of complex computations and visualization of applications in diverse STEM domains such as chemistry, biology, physics, mechanics, and others can become a reality for the educators and the learners. The ecosystem of a typical cloud utilizes a threelayered architecture 2, 7 . On the top layer, there is Software as a Service (SaaS). In the second layer, there is Platform as a Service (PaaS) and in the third layer, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). A CBECS platform will utilize all three layers offering new services to the
tools are designed to teach, rather than to complete professional analyses.I stress this difference because it is possible to use professional software tools in a similarmanner. Worksheets can be designed using commercial software that will serve some of thesame functions. However, these tools are typically not designed to be educational. It is necessaryto strike a balance between how much effort is spent teaching the use of a tool itself and howmuch effort is spent teaching the actual course theory.This dilemma can be resolved either by choosing software that is so easy to learn or of suchcritical professional value that it is valuable to incorporate its use into the curriculum. Thatchoice is a very personal one for each instructor. There are
dynamicapproach to education insures that the university remains on the cutting-edge of technology andprovides graduates with the skills that employers need. During the second year two newprograms were implemented and a third entered the planning stage.The Software Engineering Technology program was the first to be implemented. The SETprogram emphasizes the application of engineering principles to solutions of practical problemswithin the contexts of understanding, developing, operating and maintaining software andsoftware intensive systems. The program bridges software and hardware technologies byestablishing a close alignment between the Engineering and Design (E&D) and ComputerScience (CS) Departments. Not only are faculty and courses shared, but

With the recentdevelopment in both hardware and software, innovative technology like augmented realitytechnology and its applications are proliferating in various fields. The abundance of smartphoneswith sufficient computational resources, GPS, sensors, network hardware, and display screenmakes AR technology suitable for educational sector [9], [10]. Researchers have experimentedwith the use of AR in education and found results that AR-enhanced learning and provided apositive impact on teaching [11], [7].The use of software models in the context of a real environment with AR provides a multitude ofopportunities in teaching. It also inspires in learning and stimulates interest and creativity inlearners by

engineeringeducation. The strengths of the technology play well to two educational approaches: (1)focused multimedia mini-lectures, which students can review at their discretion, and (2)case studies in the form of mini-documentaries. Both approaches serve well asmotivational tools in the PEL learning cycle, and could resuscitate sagging studentinterest in reading textbooks. As such, they should be designed as one component in abalanced course offering, not as a class substitute.The development time is a clear obstacle. In addition to the production and post-production time requirements, there are considerable time requirements in mastering adiverse set of supporting skills: software applications, web authoring, script writing,videography, sound, and lighting
