Most launch preparationtasks can be performed by human personnel; however, a designated safety zone surrounding therocket itself (known as the spaceport) contains hazardous and sensitive materials. FEHSAbelieves it would be safest and most efficient if an autonomous robot were used to completenecessary preparation tasks inside the spaceport." The autonomous robots had to performseveral tasks including initializing communications systems by toggling several switches,delivering supplies to the launch pad, activating the system for loading the rocket with fuel, andsignaling

This work addresses the following research questions: 1. Does introducing non-lecture teaching techniques into engineering statics improve self- reported participation based on reported gender of the student? 2.
