Engineering Education, 2024 Experiential Learning with Mobile Robots: Bridging Physical and Virtual EnvironmentsAbstractThis paper presents an ongoing experiential learning and research project initiated last summer(2023), aimed at fostering engineering education through the collaboration of undergraduatestudents at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) and summer exchange studentsfrom neighboring universities in the state of Maryland, with high school students who participatedin a remote setting. The project employed educational mobile robotic platforms, namely the LIMO,GoPiGo3, as well as, Sphero RVR and Bolt available at the UMES robotics lab. The emphasis wason the integration of a variety of sensors
Engineering Education, 2024 Generative Learning in Two Community-Based Experiential Undergraduate Courses This research to practice paper analyzes the innovative teaching elements of twocommunity-based experiential undergraduate courses. Experiential learning on its own shifts aclass from a more traditional format to “an approach that is semi-structured and requires studentsto cooperate and learn from one another through direct experiences tied to real world problems”[1, p. 4]. When engaging with the community through experiential learning, additionalperspectives are integrated into learning with the intent that all parties will benefit. This can beachieved through multiple course designs, two of

By their nature, however, theseclasses are resource intensive, often limited access to a few, fortunate students. In an experimen-tal attempt to increase access to these opportunities, we have offered an introductory level coursein autonomous robotics over the World Wide Web. In our class, students developed robot control-lers to solve a series of increasingly difficult problems on a mobile robot simulator that wedesigned and implemented using Java.
