There are basically two groups of students: EE majors and non-EE majors. Theseparation is based on the number of previous and concurrent courses in EE, timing ofprerequisites and time separation between these courses. For example, the EM majors only takea total of three EE courses, while EE majors take 18 EE and non-EE required courses as an EEmajor. Therefore grade

involvement is an essential aspect ofmeaningful learning. Also, engaging students in learning is principally the responsibility ofthe instructor, who should become less an imparter of knowledge and more a designer and afacilitator of learning experiences and opportunities. In other words, the real challenge incollege teaching is not trying to cover the material for the students, as many of us believe andpractice today; but rather uncovering the material with the students. This is a call for allfaculty involved with teaching engineering courses and as members of faculty teams whodevelop, maintain, and implement engineering programs , to consider not only the contentand topics that make up an engineering degree but also how students engage with

This robot can be classified as "the study and design of intelligent agents" where an intelligentagent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that will maximize its chances ofsuccess. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956, defines it as "the science and engineering ofmaking intelligent machines." Our robotic agent accomplishes its goals autonomously without disturbingthe public. This in turn shows that if there is a military counterpart to every beneficial creation then theremust be a counterpart to every military creation that will be
