Inthe past few years, the creation of tech shops or maker spaces has been a boon to engineeringinnovation, and has particularly contributed to strategies to broaden participation in engineeringmajors. In the past year, the authors have been managing the creation of such a space within aminority-serving land-grant institution. The advantages of low-resolution tryouts and prototypingbeing added to the engineering curriculum are abundantly discussed elsewhere. In this paper, wediscuss the creation of a maker space and how we have used it as an adjunct to our college’sengineering and engineering technology curricula. The issues of resources (human andfinancial), assessment, and the proper role of the maker space have evolved over the six

This task wasaccomplished through workshop-based discussions and cross-disciplinary collaborative research.Based on the application of RGS methodologies to the interdisciplinary faculty learningcommunity workshop, it is suggested that a genre

Afterassembling their robot, it is time to program the microprocessor. In the co-robotics course,students learn the basics of coding in C language and use it to program the Arduino board. Atthis stage, the mechanical and electrical parts of the robot are ready and students can test theirrobots, observe the outcome of their designs, troubleshoot, debug, and redesign if necessaryby iterating the design process.3.2 Evaluation MethodologyTo evaluate the co-robots course, we adopted four different assessment methods: survey, in-class assignments and challenges, observation, and
