In addition to in-class activities, thereare many programs targeting use of educational robotics in after-school activities. In this paper,we present our experience at the Interactive Technology Experience Center (iTEC) in design,development, and implementation of robotics activities for K-12 students and teachers. iTEC isa K-12 STEM center at the University of Texas at San

In recent years they have sometimesbeen illustrated by a stool (exhibit 1) [3].This paper is grounded in the view that the process of innovation and its product(s) can onlybe understood from this broad perspective which is supported by the case studies referenced.In particular they show the importance of the human factor not only in the organisationresponsible for an innovation, but in its use. While there is nothing particularly new in thesepropositions those responsible for engineering education have consistently undervalued

and setting up a new undergraduate research lab.BACKGROUNDState University of New York at Oswego is developing a new undergraduate program inelectrical and computer engineering (ECE) to better serve its communities and to meet theworkforce needs of the area. The development of a new program presents an opportunity tocreate a modern and innovative curriculum that challenges several aspects of traditionalengineering education and responds to the needs of the knowledge-based society we live in. Anew faculty member was hired (Fall 2008), temporarily based in the Physics department.Although more money will be available for equipment and laboratory at the actual start of theECE program (a few years later), there was little startup money ($12,000
