children have about the engineering world around them is theDraw an Engineer Task (DAET). As an extension of DAET, we recently proposed the Draw a Robot Taskto understand specifically how children perceive the embodiments and applications of robots androboticists. Our early work to develop the Draw a Robot Task relied on subjective analysis of thematerials, bioinspiration, and applications in children’s drawings. In this work-in-progress paper, weexplore image analysis software and the development of machine learning tools to quantify features of thedrawings to define traditional, rigid, and soft, bioinspired robots. With the goal of validating the Draw aRobot Task as a means to both understand children’s perceptions of robots and to study the

The course includes computer aided design (CAD) and mostassessments are based on the completion of team-based projects. Learning outcomes include anability to describe the engineering profession in regards to an academic plan, accreditation,certification, disciplines, societies, ethical practice, and regional industries, which are introducedthrough professional engineers. Case studies spanning global, multicultural, environmental, andsocietal contexts, challenge the students to apply the NSPE code of ethics to engineeringsituations.

Onestudent stated that the question “Engineering students experience a healthy amount of stress” wasconfusing, sharing: The question about if I get a healthy amount of stress, I'm really not too sure about what is a healthy amount of stress. I thought stress by definition is unhealthy, however you get stressed in any demanding environment, so learning how to take it is "healthy" in that respect.

Some of the projects have beenwith multi-disciplinary teams including electrical and computer engineering students, and someof the projects have been exclusively mechanical engineering students. Providing themechanical engineering students with the necessary background to be successful with theprojects has come from two different methods. The first was to require the students to take aprerequisite course in mechatronics, and the second was to complete basic electronics projects inthe two-semester mechanical engineering senior design course itself. Both methods have provento be effective, and often provided benefits after graduation to the students participating in theprojects.1

Each workshop is followed by an academic year intervention duringwhich a graduate student visits the middle school classroom and assists the participatingteachers in implementing mathematical and scientific experiments. In the summer of2007, the workshop was based on the television show NUMB3RS, which is well knownfor its use of mathematics and science to solve criminal cases. As part of the summerworkshop, the teachers viewed an episode of NUMB3RS.
