planned efforts to integrate robotics intohigh school math curriculum. We are driven by two fundamental objectives: (1) Build low costrobots that can be purchased or built incrementally to manage budgetary restrictions. Theserobots should be re liable, robust, and most important of all, be customizable for the specificneeds of the teacher and the student teams; and (2) adapt the approach of “Understanding byDesign” by Wiggins and McTighe1 in integrating robots into math lessons. They recommend athree-stage process: define objectives; determine assessments, and develop tasks (in our case,robotics based exercises).For the first objective, we will provide details of our on-going work on building low cost robotsthat every K-12 school can afford.

Moreover, it’s interesting to see that online students in Spring2021 did not statistically perform worse than face-to-face students in Fall 2018 and Spring 2018in spite that some students’ time commitment to this course was negatively impacted by thepandemic or related situations. To explore and explain why this happened, we plan to design anddevelop some new research method and use it to collect data in future semesters because ourcurrent method focuses on performance comparison instead of what causes the same or differentperformances.REFERENCES[1] I.

Keeping them involved early in its development will help promote buy-in, and their input can help you make choices from among the options available to you.C Rather than developing an assessment process simply to have one, try to develop one that maximizes useful information per unit work. Otherwise, you may end up with a process that requires considerable resources for proper execution.C You may want to start by assessing a single educational goal or objective to develop a feel for data collecting and interpretation.Since outcomes assessment is so new to engineering and technology education, it is unlikely thatanyone has the “right answer” yet.

Of importance, taking a sustainable approach towardsthese vehicles can act to lower greenhouse-gas emissions, improve urban air quality, saveconsumers money, bolster power-grid reliability and reduce oil imports 3. Toward this objective,the University of Kansas EcoHawks senior design program focuses on investigating the linkageof the vehicle to the grid for improved efficiencies in both arenas.

In principle, this experiment is very close to simulation except for the fact that plots andcontrol are updated in seemingly real time.
