In this class the instructor’s roleis that of a facilitator of the learning process. S/he will provide student with activities,and facilitate discussions. Activities and field trips have been chosen so as to engagestudents in individual and collaborative problem solving, analysis, synthesis, criticalthinking, reasoning, and reflection. Students will learn through listening to others andsharing your ideas, and by doing. What students learn will depend directly on theirwillingness to participate and there preparedness for the class through reading therequired materials before

variety of colors, optical properties, and textures. In particular, smooth and flat,reflective features such as the touchscreen are especially challenging to capture digitally from thephysical object.Our initial method for creating high fidelity scans was 3D scanning (Figure 6a). Scanning can beused to create life-sized 3D models that include realistic colors and textures. However, thescanner we had access to, the Sense 2 from 3D Systems, struggled to retain tracking on the flatsurfaces of the tablet components. The resolution produced by the scanner was also lacking.When 3D scanning was unsuccessful, we pivoted to photogrammetry. Photogrammetry has beenused successfully to create 3D reconstructions of real world objects for digital

The surfaceand interface properties (e.g., roughness, structure, optical reflection, emissivity, and cleanliness)often play a crucial role in the performance of many technologies. Despite its practicalimportance, surface characterization is a comparatively neglected subject in engineeringcurricula.

Then, using the amount of time it takesfor the wave to return to the sensor, the distance to the object can be computed.The ultrasonic range finder emits a high-frequency sound wave that alerts the robot to things inits path. A Programming Kit is needed to change the program in the VEX Controller. These arespecific behaviors achieved by the ultrasonic range finder: measure distances from 1.5in to115in; detect obstacles using high frequency sound waves; create more autonomous functions.The sensor can be used to determine distances to objects.
