the cart, displayed using Rviz. This provides accurate mappingof segmented image pixels to measure distances in front of the cart through inverse perspective mapping.This perspective mapped image was published as a PointCloud with a set of data points in a coordinatesystem. This point cloud could then be used for integration with other ROS modules.IV. Results An integral addition to the APM was an updated road and sidewalk detecting camera system. Thisnew system provides valuable information about the surrounding world to the cart. By integrating vision,the APM was able to accurately distinguish between roads, sidewalks, and objects/regions that wereconsidered not safe to drive on. The pre-existing vision system consisted of a

We hypothesize that the process of reflection increases a student’s engagement withthe subject matter material by means of Bloom’s Taxonomy than could be achieved solely withthe quiz assessment.BackgroundReflections Teaching and learning tools have been evolving in mechanical engineering (ME) to includeproblem-based learning and other best practices from teaching and learning sciences. One toolwith a long history of positive impact on student learning is reflection [14]. Reflection has beenused as an educational tool since the 1930s [15]. Typically, studies on reflections have shown thatreflection increases understanding, continuous learning, and

A well-designed IDP supports the student throughseveral steps of professional development planning and goal setting. First, the IDP helps thestudent articulate career goals. Second, the IDP guides students to identify specific strategies oractivities to help make progress toward those goals, including undertaking activities thatcontribute to academic, professional and personal growth and pursuing focused careerexplorations to continually refine or change career goals. Third, the IDP supports the students
Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Redesigned Application Oriented Integral Calculus CurriculumAbstractThis paper presents the development of an application based curriculum for an integral calculuscourse, a project funded by the KEEN Foundation. Textbook examples are frequentlydisconnected from students’ immediate environment or use past data of little interest. In addition,information given on the subject is at most sketchy and the practical purpose of solving theseexamples is not clear. This lack of vivid applications in calculus courses motivated us to developcontent that can be used by instructors to enhance students’ learning experience by engagingthem directly in solving problems and applying attained skills to real life
