begun to proliferate in industry,so have the demands on the level of sophistication of their performance. Careful attention tosafety planning has been required because; these industrial tools present many of the samehazards as conventional machine tools. Thus, engineers working in the areas of robotics musthave a well-structured understanding of robotic systems. Model driven simulation is a valuabletool for helping in this aspect. RoboCell simulation software is one such model driven simulationprogram. Simulation is a powerful tool, but robotics research should be conducted on robots. Inthis paper we provide a brief approach to learning technical aspects of industrial robots throughuse of an educational robot and RoboCell simulation software

studies have shown that while there are relatively minor differences in the pre-collegequalifications of men and women recruited to engineering, gender differences persist inengineering self-confidence, satisfaction with engineering programs, expectations from anengineering degree, academic achievement in engineering, commitment to a future inengineering[5]. Further, these gender differences vary over the undergraduate year. For example,first-year women have much lower engineering self-confidence than entering men; while juniorwomen and men have been shown to be much more similar in engineering self-confidence(women’s is higher than it was in their first-year; men’s is leveled by their experiences in theengineering program)[4].
