Nevertheless, persistence to eight semesters does notensure graduation and differences by race and gender may accrue beyond the eighth semester.”Ohland and colleagues later confirmed that differences by race and gender do indeed accruebeyond the eighth semester.4 Using a graduation measure would tend to exclude groups thattypically take longer to graduate. An earlier measure, such as semester 4 would leave asignificant number of students in an undesignated engineering major.5 By semester 8, moststudents have either settled into their final major or left.

[8]” Comparison to objective b from the a-k criteria shows that a major componentwas added to this outcome – that students must demonstrate engineering judgement in drawingconclusions for experiments. This is significant due to the strong emphasis placed on engineeringjudgement by working engineers who cite such judgements as the ultimate guide to designdecisions [9]. The inclusion of engineering judgement in this student outcome, and nowhere elseexplicitly in the outcomes (except for possibly a reference to judgement in outcome 4 whichdeals with ethics) gives an indication of ABET’s views about the purpose of laboratories asgoing beyond practical necessities.

It seemed thatonly a small remnant of the class was still with me by the end of class and abilities to use the toolor skill later were only modestly retained. I had, therefore, begun recording these lectures forstudents to review on their own when they needed a refresher. As video technology improved, Ihad moved to assigning the videos as homework.

The reflective sensor is utilized for determining speed.An analytical model for this device is beyond the scope of the course, even beyond the scope ofundergraduate engineering, thus students see the value of empirical evidence and the role ofexperiment in design. Students discover that the ‘best’ output results when the coil spacing andmagnet spacing are matched.4.3 Strain GagesStrain gages are of the resistive type commonly used for measuring strain, force, and pressure.The strain gage consist of a thin film of conducting material applied to a film

Time constraints did not allow a detailedconsideration of machining of slots in the plate. The clevis shape was treated as given.

The B.S. offers what we believe to be excellent undergraduate educationin preparation for careers in robotics and related fields. However, there is a limited amount ofscientific and engineering material that one can cover in a 4-year degree while still providing therich undergraduate experience necessary to become a well-rounded citizen in today’s society.The RBE M.S. degree goes beyond the B.S. to prepare graduates for technical leadership roles inthe robotics
