Completion of theproject does not require an expertise in robotics as we illustrate the steps necessary toconstruct such a robot. Student learning is motivated by participation in an internationalfire-fighting robot competition.

This can be accomplished throughthe inclusion of exercises on this platform in graduate and undergraduate courses offered as partof the electrical and computer engineering (ECE) curriculum. Graduate ECE courses, such asimage processing, neural networks, and embedded system design would be choices for projectactivities on this platform. Typical courses in the undergraduate ECE program are digital logicdesign and programming in C/C++/Python.

In response to this, education in engineering has seen a significant increase in the emphasison design and on the wide range of teamwork skills that engineering students will need whenthey enter the workplace [4-8]. In the program outcomes, at the heart of Engineering Criteria2000 accreditation guidelines, students are mandated to be able to function on multidisciplinaryteams in addition to acquiring traditional engineering knowledge of mathematics, science, andengineering and gaining experience in engineering problem solving and system design [1].

These courses usually do not have laboratories orhands-on activity associated with them. However, these courses are very important because they provide thefoundation for important areas of electrical engineering including circuits, systems, communications, control andsignal processing. Unfortunately, many students do not recognize the relevance of the material at this point in their careersand have difficulty because it appears to be "only math and theory.” The resulting low motivation often

Thirty-seven freshman students entered the program this fall, and the retention of these students in the program is a prime goal. Thirty-eight percent of this class is female and/or minority. Since over one third of the high school population will eventually be involved in the tech prep program, the high school/university collective effort should see significant growth.

It is really an opportunity for students to apply many ofthe previous courses in our program.This is a project-based course in which students spend the majority of their time solving an open-ended problem that results in the design, build, and test of a working prototype.
