During the last week of the program, the last two days were reserved for aparent day when the DR students demonstrated projects that they had been working onand a field trip day. The college students spent the Winter semester and Spring term preparing thecurriculum and planning the supplies that they would need for the entire program. Fromprior years’ experiences, the faculty had learned that nearly all of the supplies would needto be brought from the United States. The curriculum for the four classes involves a two-year sequence of content for thethree oldest classes, and one year for the youngest

This low-cost system is able to identify and trackmultiple objects, and, in contrast to traditional DAQ systems, it does not need modification oradjustment in order to be used in different applications. The presented algorithm is efficient andcan operate in almost real time. In light of these advantages, Kinect was shown to have greatpotential for becoming an economical and versatile tool for a variety of applications in educationallaboratories.AcknowledgementsThis multi-disciplinary research project was carried out at Stevens Institute of Technology withfunding from a multi-year grant by the National Science Foundation (Award No 0817463).

I still visualize it when working with control/feedback systems in other classes. The analogy was very easy to imagine in the case of the car race because I drive a car and have first-hand knowledge of how driving a car works. By taking an analogy that was easily translated and related to everyday life, I believe I was more accurately able to understand steady-state errors.
