A survey of literature in the mathematical field suggests several approaches to remedyingthis problem and aiding students in transferring knowledge. For example, the idea of revisitingand weaving fundamental mathematical concepts through the curriculum was discussed by Orton(1983). Similarly to my discussion with our mathematics faculty, thought has also been given tothe fact that while students may understand the math, they might not see how it is applied in agiven context, or the approximations and assumptions they are required to make to solve acertain problem (Rebello et al. 2007; Schoenfeld 1985

The VEXrobot has been used to implement waypoint navigation, map building, and path planning [1]. However, VEX robots primarily focus on motion control and low-level sensing, and they donot have a vision sensor (such as a CCD camera).

Further, engineers must be able toanalyze situations with conflicting professional and ethical issues in order to determine anappropriate next step [5].
