WPI many entering students have recently expressed an interest in robotics. During theacademic year 2006/07, for example, over 130 visiting prospective students listed robotics eitheras a principal interest area or as their planned major on WPI Admissions Information forms. InFall 2005 and 2006, 96 and 101 freshmen, respectively, joined the WPI Robotics Team. One-third of them stated an interest in pursuing robotics for their senior project or academic major.43% had known of the WPI/FIRST/robotics connection before enrolling at WPI and 62% ofthese indicated that this knowledge was a strong positive reason for selecting WPI.3.0 Education in RoboticsOne may date the earliest robotics-related undergraduate curricula to the 1980’s where

This is particularly important from the point of view of student satisfaction, as student expectations must be molded to fit the constraints of the online-based course delivery.• Support for online delivery classes needs to be expanded

While prior work has thoroughlyarticulated the technical issues in these flawed design criteria [1], [3], the present work aims tosupport formal study of how engineers recognize and treat variability, with an eye towardsunderstanding how the aforementioned flaws evaded notice for over a half-century.In this work, we present a novel theoretical framework and initial empirical results. We use theproposed cause-source framework to analyze aircraft design flaws and to design an interviewprotocol. Through interviews with engineering students, we find initial evidence of an

Two Regional Storage Facilities (RLFs), north and south, located near Berkeley andin Los Angeles, have provided storage space for older and lesser-used materials for about threedecades. For a conceptual description of the roles of the RLFs, see Schottlaender1. Recentpolicy changes have led to them being managed as persistent shared collections. This changeguarantees that

Furthermore, most projects were funded byindustry partners and thus, the University incurred little or no research costs. Anecdotal feedbackfrom students indicated that most were inspired in their project selection by a particular pre-requisite course (and/or associated faculty member). Usually, students demonstrated a strongaptitude in the research discipline of their project indicating that they perform better in topicswith which they enjoy. We are unsure how students chose their team mate(s) as some of thegroup members had very different aptitudes, work styles and attitudes. We speculated thatstudents
