starting pointS and ending point G using a Best-First Search algorithm. The course may contain any numberof intermediate obstacles (I x). The Best-First algorithm, described above, is a goal-directed andknowledge-based algorithm, that is, both S and G are defined prior to navigation of the course.The objective being to move from S to G through a series of obstacles without colliding with theobstacles. The algorithm is implemented by having the robot traverse the Y component of itsgoal vector first. Reaching the Y component of its goal the robot then traverses the X componentof it goal vector. 1In order to reset and initiate all systems the Robot is placed at S and is pointed to the east oralong , what has been designated, the positive X axis.

Therefore, the system that isbeing developed must address all these functions utilizing the power of the Internet and computertechnology to their full potential.The visualization is achieved by compiling a library of digital photographs of the laboratorysetup taken from different positions and angles of view and establishing a graphic interface thatallows the remote user to “rotate” the setup in 3D. In order to learn about system components,the user is expected to point a curser at the appropriate area within the digital photograph thatwill result in a special window providing a textbook-quality description of the relevant systemcomponent(s).

Efforts have been undertaken in Phase 2 to do this, as will be discussed.Results of the current STEP project (Table 2) show that students who participated have higherretention rates than students enrolled in Western Michigan University in general (cohortsretention rates verses University Baseline). This initial STEP effort, concluding after the 2009-10 academic year, increased the first-year retention rate to an average of 66% (through the 2008cohort, as shown in Table 2; and 65% when including initial data analysis through 2009-10) fromthe college‟s historical baseline of 57%, which matched well with the

Our findings highlighted the need to develop activitiesthat cultivate students‟ judgement, facilitate peer feedback, promote learner independence,and reinforce development of their professional engineering identity.Our aim is to promote a learning focus as opposed to a task-focused disposition in students.A student‟s core identity may be such that they resist this change in focus limiting theirengagement with these activities. We found scaffolding to be valuable to motivate desiredapproaches, behavior and attitudes to learning.For example, we constantly remind studentsthat “mistakes compress
