Each survey was available for one week, thenremoved from the class website.4.2.1 Week 2 survey (n = 1335)The Week 2 survey focused on obtaining demographic information, as well as getting a baselinereading of participants’ attitudes. Complete results from the Week 2 survey are available inAppendix B.

. Figure 4. Image of the main circuit board of the Proteus robot controller. The front is pictured in (a) and the back pictured in (b).In order to have individual communication, the XBee receivers in each controller and the XBeetransmitters on each course section must be paired to the same channel. Since there are twocourses each with 4 course sections, there are 8 different static transmit addresses whichbroadcast robot positional data and course objective information. When a robot is ready to run ona course section, the user must input what course section the robot is running on (the sections arelettered A-H which represent the 8 course sections). The robot controller then configures theXBee accordingly to listen to the

It should be noted that eventhough the commercial cost for purchasing this package is relatively high, the Dassault Systemsoffers substantially discounted educational licenses of the full version of the software for classroomuse. Additionally, the student version of Abaqus can be downloaded free of charge from theDassault Systems website. The free student version of the software is the essentially the fullcommercial version, limited to handling models containing up to one thousand nodes.

The participants included 48 undergraduate and graduate students from alarge public university in the southeastern US. These participants were randomly assigned to oneof three levels of fidelity where they learned to construct a circuit on a breadboard. Statisticalanalysis of participants’ pre-test scores found that participants in each condition werecomparable in terms of prior circuit knowledge. Figure 1.

If the virtual arm does not move the way their real one moves then they did notmeasure the D-H parameters correctly. In the camp the students were not able to grasp theprocess of measuring these parameters and relied on the student helpers. Software has since beenadded to the tool to support this actively. Once the parameters are measured correctly thestudents will enter them into the tool and verify their correctness. a b Figure 1: (a) the students build the arm, (b) the student measure the D-H parameter.Next the students will program their virtual

For this experiment, students will be required toset up the system and independently use RF and Bluetooth as connectivity types. The studentsthen use the mobile/ web app to test their system. They will be required to record the actual stateof the LED when controlled from the app.(b) A/C Bulb Switching over InternetControlling an A/C bulb is a step ahead of controlling an LED.

question shown in Fig. 1 was usedIn answering this lead-in question, pick the one answer that you think is most correct and complete;and provide a brief justification of your choice.The static mechanism, when used inside a Java class, is used for the following reason: (a) The “static” keyword is used for only one purpose: to flag the main() function of the Java program so that the system will know that is where the execution should begin. The “static” mechanism is not used for anything else in Java (unlike in C++ which uses it for other purposes). (b) In some sense, “static” is essentially equivalent to declaring something to be “public” so that a variable or method of the class that is flagged as static can be used anywhere
