Students take a self-assessment survey to identify theirstrengths and weaknesses, and to pick six “preferred teammates,” at least one of which they areguaranteed to be on the same team. Next, the formation process is automated using softwaredeveloped in house. This software creates many possible team formations, and selects the mostbalanced formation by considering factors such as GPA and the self-assessment survey. The self-assessment survey yields a rough idea of how strong students are in the following areas:technical writing, mechanical construction, electrical engineering, software development,problem solving, team dynamics, CAD, and general robotics experience.

noticeableimprovement” in their test scores (Coughlan6).So the question remains, does technology always enhance education? In order to get amore accurate answer, studies began parsing the groups within the data sets. For example,Wainer, et. al. looked at computer use and internet access in relation to academic successand parsed the data by socio-economic status to find what some might call interestingconclusions: internet use is bad for your grades if you are “young and poor”7. But is thisthe only way to analyze what is happening in the classroom when technology’seffectiveness is being assessed? According to researchers at MIT and West Point, theanswer is, “no”. Their study, published in May of 2016, involved over 725 students inthree treatment modes: no

Laboratoryinstructors today are always looking to upgrade or to replace equipment used to demonstratefundamental principles taught to students throughout their courses. When assessing newequipment, the instructor must be aware of cost, sizing, and performance. Cost is a definiteconsideration as it allows for more money to be allocated elsewhere depending on priorities. Sizingbecomes an issue as a program size program increases.
