tolearn how to implement his ideas.Most of the buyers in the Robotics Division were ex-engineers and were in their 50's. Whilethey were engineers, many of them felt Megamation was causing Robotics to migrate too faraway from their technological strengths and were not shy about voicing their opinions. It wasclear to Butch that these " whining wienies" as he called them, simply weren't "on the team"and he was in the process of driving them out of the company or, as a last resort, terminatingthem when they could "not meet their numbers." The disadvantage of terminating themimmediately was that Robotics always had to provide an attractive severance package inexchange for the employee's signature on a document that promised they would not sue

department is to dedicate 10% of the department's aggregate timeto other university and community service. Services outside the department include but are not limited to activities such as: A) University Committees B) Professional service organizations C) City, state, national and international service organizations These non-departmental activities will be identified by the faculty and coordinated with thedepartment chair. The amount of time spent on these activities will generally be limited to amaximum of 6 hours per week, (2 EWC,s) for any one faculty member per semester.Conclusions The workload formula we developed has been defined, tested and revised a number oftimes.

Thompson [13] identified the case of“Sandra,” where a high school teacher struggled to find the y-intercept of a line from two givenpoints (3,1) and (7,4). In this case, Sandra thought of the slope in terms of “over 4 and up 3.”However when changing by -4 from (3,1), she passed the y-axis, and didn’t know how to adjustfor a change in x of -3, rather than -4. length 4 to the left from (3,1).

In addition to having an academic faculty and graduate student(s) mentoring the REMstudents on their research project, CISTAR leverages two Purdue engineering programs thatintroduce students to research: Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program(https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/Research/EURO/students/about-SURF) and the PathwaysScholar program (how a graduate degree can prepare you for different career pathways). Thus,the REM students are part of a wider research program with other undergraduates from acrossthe U.S. and from different countries. CISTAR hires, as well, several near peers who areengineering graduate students to help the REM students be

Figure 6: Assembled Drivetrain To ensure that the robot would be able to withstand competition, simulation tool inSolidWorks was used to analyze the structural integrity of the drivetrain. The drivetrain platewas tested by simulating the robot crashing into a wall. The final robot weighed 16.5 pounds, soassuming it was moving its top speed of 7 ft/s and came to a full stop in half a second, it wouldexperience a force of 7.18 pounds. The force was applied to the front face of the plate, and therear face was fixed. This was done to generate the most extreme examples of stress

on this positive interest from students, a committee of faculty who taught in math andsciences was convened to develop the program. Because of the institution’s historical strengths inthe sciences, the committee recommended that the institution offer a B. S. in EngineeringScience, which was subject to the same ABET criteria as B.S. programs in Engineering andEngineering Physics.[7] It was also believed that the program named Engineering Sciencewould be better accepted at a liberal arts institution where a degree such as engineering might beviewed by some as a strictly vocational major. The intent of the degree to equip students with abroad and general engineering background also reflected key principles of the liberal artsapproach.The
