FOR PROJECTS IN ROBOTICSAbstractIn this paper a hybrid course format is presented. It is an alternative way to introduce hands-onexperience into an otherwise lecture-only format robotics course. The course runs as a lecturecourse for the first half of the semester. In the second half, it turns into a “studio” setting wherethe students meet during the regular weekly lecture hours in the robotics lab instead. Details ofthe project assignment, hardware, software, grading and course assessment are explained. Threesample projects are provided.I. IntroductionRobotics courses are commonly found in many universities. They include coverage ofintroductory background in industrial robotics and often utilize some form of robot motionsimulation using
AC 2010-543: AN INITIAL ANALYSIS OF STUDENT ENGAGEMENT WHILELEARNING ENGINEERING VIA VIDEO GAMEBrianno Coller, Northern Illinois University Brianno Coller is an Associate Professor of Mechanical engineering. He started his research career applying fairly deep mathematical ideas to gain insight into how complex physical and engineering systems work. His work was theoretical and somewhat abstract. Since then, his research has evolved toward studying a different type of complex system: how students learn and become excited about engineering. In this endeavor, Dr. Coller is mostly a "nuts & bolts" practitioner, an engineer, and an experimentalist.David Shernoff, Northern Illinois University

courses, all related to the Mechanics of Materials, starting with elasticity, yieldstrength, plastic instability and fracture mechanics of some manufacturable solid materials, and thelubricants and coolants applied to their processes. Before the pandemics, I used to bring into my in-presence classes a lot of materials for demonstration and used to hand them over to the students forobservation, and for touching and handling them in order to get some “feelings”. For example, in theManufacturing Processes course, I would bring some products made of bamboo, such as a set of cutleriesmade in Thailand, and pass them over to the students as an example of “Green Manufacturing” forsustainable, pollution-free manufacturing processes.

Math/Science Career Conferences for Girls Lillian L. Goettler North Dakota State University In 1975 a number of women scientists and engineers in the San Francisco Bay area organized the first Expanding Your Horizons career conference to interest girls in math/science based careers. These one-day confer- ences offer giris a variety of hands-on workshop experiences as well as an opportunity to get to know women active in math/science fields and discuss their career paths and plans. These conferences were well re- ceived in the Bay area and inspired many similar conferences across the country.

This approach must be adjusted to include the evolving interestsof each new incoming generation of students; if it’s not animated, colorful, virtual, “cool” andmost importantly part of their current world, capturing student interest is difficult at best.

However, atpresent, high-resolution time-frequency representation technique provides a naturaldomain for analyzing and processing such non-stationary data. This technique canmeasure the local changes in frequency and scale content of a signal in the data set. Inthis paper we present the applications of this advanced signal processing and analysistechnique to solve problems related to geophysical seismic data especially applicable tohydrocarbon exploration and prospecting. One of the latest digital signal processing toolsis MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory), from MathCAD, which can be used to analyze,interpret, and process seismic data to specialized graphics features required inengineering and scientific

andconceptually difficult physical phenomena and to provide “hands-on” experience. In this process of change,the teaching and practice of engineering design principles began to disappear from the curriculum. Issues raised and discussed in this paper support a return to design as the primary purpose for theengineering laboratory. The issues include: the purposes and style of experimentation, the roles of simulationand the computer, pedagogical relationships between the laboratory and the lecture, the role of engineeringscience in support of design, and intended outcomes for students (graduate school vs. immediate career entry). We provide an example which articulates our goals for an engineering laboratory experience: thegathering of
has initiated a new program called EPICS:Engineering Projects in Community Service2. Under the EPICS program, students earn academic credit forlong-term, team projects that solve technology-based problems for local community service agencies. Each EPICS project team consists of seven to ten engineering students. The teams are verticallyintegrated - each is a mix of sophomores, juniors and seniors - and a student can participate in a project for upto three years. The continuity provided by this structure allows projects to last for many years. Projects ofsignificant size and impact are thus possible. The goals of the EPICS program include: providing students with multi-year, team-based, design anddevelopment experience; teaching
