We spent hours talking about how to approach the design, where to place the electronics, and how the robot would function. Some communication barriers had to be overcome since both our fields are specialized and we both had to understand how this project was going to come together. Because of our different backgrounds, when we did not communicate efficiently problems arose. For instance, because we each had our own ideas of how our project should look, the infrared sensors were too large for the specifications of the body design so the printed circuit boards had to be resized

For example,consider a student wanting to take CE321 Structural Mechanics I earlier than the fall quarter oftheir junior year. Only offered only in the fall quarter, CE321 has a prerequisite of EM203Mechanics of Materials. Offered only in the winter quarter, EM203 would then be taken in thewinter quarter of the freshman year. However, EM203 has a prerequisite of EM120 EngineeringStatics, which would need to be taken fall quarter of freshman year.

The students at our academy are not required toexhibit any scores or grades for acceptance. Therefore, the capabilities and backgrounds of thestudents are varied. Incorporating ways in which a student can progress at her individual pace,and feel successful, is important. Finding a way to learn about a subject through exploration andhands-on activities is the goal. The less one uses lectures to teach, the better it is.We believe that an effective academy features mathematics that is accessible to students with anaverage grasp of the grade-level mathematics, but is outside what they will encounter in
