Based on the idea of having a robot thatreproduces some interesting functionalities of a pet or a small animal4, the goal is to see howinteracting with robots could help autistic children, suffering from communication disorders,short attention span and inability to treat others as people, increase their ability to focus theirattention and to be more opened to their surroundings. This is a very open problem where teamshave a lot of latitude to develop creative and innovative solutions. For example, they can add adevice that generate sounds (see Section IV) and use it to communicate with the child; they canprogram the robot to play some music or to play

, 2010 Enhancing the Learning Experience in a Multidisciplinary Engineering Technology CourseAbstractRapidly changing technology advances demand the revisions of engineering and technologycourses so that they continue to serve students and industry in a relevant way. In a typicalengineering technology department, students from different majors are usually required to takean introductory electrical engineering course. Due to the multidisciplinary background ofstudents, such a course has traditionally been a challenge to teach so as to make it interesting anduseful to all students. Therefore innovative teaching methods have to be employed in order toaccommodate different backgrounds and learning styles.In our

Unfortunately, while most engineering curricula include one or twoprogramming-related courses at the freshman and/or sophomore level, students generally showweak computer programming skills when they reach the core curriculum courses. This projectseeks to develop an innovative set of classroom modules involving computer programming foruse throughout the Industrial Engineering curriculum.
