Although they have no prior backgroundin quantum mechanics, they successfully learn the experimental aspects of quantum entanglementand quantum cryptography. This has been reported by student surveys and exams in reference [16],and it is an ongoing practice. The senior design project teams are teams of 3 to 4 students. Theprojects can be challenging but the students have been successfully making progress in theirprojects. This year is the first time that students are actually putting a working prototype of‘quantum communication in multi-agent cooperative robotic scenario’ together. We hope to reportthe results in future publications.The Bell test experiment, presented in

drawn.Previous WorkIn general, the importance of hands-on laboratory experiences in engineering education isemphasized in many learning theories. For example, according to “Kolb’s Experiential LearningCycle1” students learn best if they follow a cycle (or a spiral) consisting of four steps (axes):experiencing (concrete experience), watching (reflective observation), thinking/modeling (abstractconceptualization), and applying/doing (active experimentation). Within the context of activerobotic experimentation, both reflective observation and active experimentation are claimed asessential parts of the learning process. Kolb’s learning cycle has been used in many engineeringeducation programs such as civil2-4, mechanical4, chemical2, 3, 5, industrial6

This high cost places themachines outside of the budgets of many schools, small companies, and R & D laboratories. Inthis project, NIU engineering and technology researchers were given the task of developing anew generation of low-cost micro-machine (LCMM) which would be affordable and yet providethe required accuracies. It should be noted that the design engineers were given a time frame ofapproximately four months to outline, research, design, and construct the first generationLCMM.
