A domestic service robot canfulfill these demands easily. Therefore, home monitoring and surveillance is a good example ofthe basic applications that robots can easily do for us, and it can serve as the first step for thosewho are willing to learn mobile robotics from the scratch to finished products.In this RET project unit, students will learn how to build the robot which can patrol and monitorour house condition when we are away from home. The challenge of this research project is two-fold. First, the robot must be able to move freely and patrol the area autonomously. Second, it mustbe

After each of the five conference calls, the student group writes a reflective paperabout what they have learned. This method differs from the traditional case study approachbecause the students do not just read what is written, but can ask initial questions and ask follow-up questions to get a better understanding of what is important by the inflection of the mentor’svoice and hearing the mentor convey it in his/her own words.This research is for the purpose of sharing best practice with other instructors and understandingthe key factors to the program’s success.

Comparisons of video scores to performance on standard exams and the results ofconcept inventories are presented.

The average of design actions was 1104 and 1723 from the middleschool and high school, respectively. Given that the time for the design challenge and learningcontext were kept as similar as possible it is not clear why the average operations are notablydifferent between schools. This may reflect different levels of engagement between the high schooland middle schools’ students or that the high school students felt more comfortable with thesoftware and therefore made more design actions.
