to fulfill our educational objectives, my personal opinion is thatour effort should be directed towards cultivating and increasing the ability ofstudents to think. That the ability to think is more important than the simpletransfer of knowledge is obvious: Even if a student learns everything by the timethe B.S. degree is awarded, a short time after graduation that engineeringprofessional (a) will have to obtain new knowledge, probably on their own (b) it is very probable that a few years after graduation, the young engineer will be the head of a group that involves persons from various disciplines; in that capacity simple, dry knowledge of facts will not be at all helpful; the ability to think, however, will be

. IntroductionThis paper describes how an automatable platform, the Khepera robot, has been integrated into partsof the curriculum at the United States Naval Academy (USNA). The Khepera robot is a smallmicroprocessor driven device.1 The device is shown in Figure 1. It is a convenient platform forinvestigating each element of an autonomous system; namely data acquisition, signal conditioningand microprocessor control. This device is flexible enough to be used for a full range of purposes,from pre-college recruiting to laboratory design projects.This paper discusses how the Khepera robot is used in engineering recruiting and integrated intodesign projects. Code fragments are offered in this paper. The code is written primarily in Procommscript.2 This enables

aquarium fires are a very common form of electric fires. We note that theirprevention is quite simple – use only appliances specifically made for use in a dampenvironment. Trust your sense of smell over your meter readings. Know that fusing the aquariumand buying quality appliances are a good start, but they are no protection against these fires ifyou have any light fixture or power strip in the vicinity that is not made for use in a dampenvironment. Further specifications about the use of items in or near an aquarium can be foundin the National Electric Code4.References [1] Bolz, Ray E. and Tuve, George L., “Handbook of Tables for Applied Engineering Science”, 2nd Edition, ISBN: 0-87819-252-2.[2] Weast, Robert C., “Handbook of Chemistry and

The Case for Sharing WisdomOverall, the number of graduate and doctorate degrees awarded in the US has grown over the course ofthe early 21st century [1]. Fields like engineering and education have been producing PhDs for severaldecades, however recent shifts technology have changed the process of a PhD drastically [2]. The specificnew field of a PhD in engineering education came formally into existence in 2004 with the creation ofPurdue’s School of Engineering Education [3], with programs at
