One co-curricular activity,participation in robot design competitions, is being pursued by a growing number ofuniversities, colleges, and even secondary schools. For example, over the last seven years,hundreds of students from universities, high-schools, and junior high schools have participated,via this co-curricular model, in the Trinity College Fire-Fighting Home Robot Contest(TCF2HRC).We show, in this paper, that the contest has inspired curricular development at all educationallevels while offering the opportunity for educators from around the world to compare

Therefore, for this course,a multimedia developer was hired, appropriate technology (hardware and software) was acquired,and multimedia components (audio, video, graphics and animations) were derived either fromthe previous recording or course materials, or separately designed using Adobe Creative Suitesoftware programs. Adobe Flash was used as the main software for designing complete onlinepresentation of the materials. Long lectures were broken in short topics and subtopics,animations were used to describe aerodynamics, equation parts were highlighted usinganimations, and several videos where the instructor discussed real world examples wereintroduced as parts of the course. Instead of three separate exercises, a project was used as

Thisforces them to think critically about what is relevant and what is not. They are informedthat several dry runs in the comfort of their own dorm rooms is considered mandatory.Interruptions during the talk are encouraged, both to acclimate the students to what a real-world research presentation may someday entail and also to follow up on items of interestwhile they are fresh in the questioner’s mind.At the end of the talk we will have the usual question period.

However,he though that the exercises were useful for students. He suggested that CROs should be usedto investigate actual signals along the UTP cabling in the laboratory, as this would be aninteresting exercise. It would also be more in keeping with the real world nature of the NIMunit. This student also suggested tracing the signals through the network cards in a PC.

Similarly, simulations may not provide a realistic visualization of 3D objects, especiallywithout real-world context.AR technology emerges as a promising solution to these limitations. An AR application allows studentsto interact with 3D models directly, holding and manipulating them in their hands. This immersiveexperience enables students to explore models from multiple perspectives and interact with the modelsas often and for as long as they need to facilitate a deeper understanding of physics concepts.Students often understand a concept in the context in which it was presented to them. Many abstract and3D concepts are taught using 2D representations, and students may not consider the models from
