The course will include a two-hour laboratory component each week.The text How Things Work by Louis Bloomfield covers each of these topics and numerousothers and was selected for the course2. The text was well received by the students: they enjoyedreading it and found most of the explanations easy to follow. The text contains numerousexercises for developing the lower three levels of Blooms Taxonomy: knowledge,comprehension, and application. Many of the exercises and case studies require the students toapply material in both presented and new situations. For example, lift is explained in the fluidmechanics chapter through discussion of

today’s societal needs.According to the review of the literature, research experience for undergraduate students is animportant educational tool to expose them to research, to increase their interest in graduateschool, and to help them to develop their technical and communications skills. Additionally,Zydney, et al. found the interaction between undergraduate researchers and graduate students notonly benefits undergraduates but also provides an important teaching experience for graduatestudents 3. All these different factors have served as the greatest motivation to explore the studentexperience of participating in REU programs in chemical and biological engineering.

these projects will help other educators develop ROS-based simulation projects as part of a course or a stand-alone course for teaching robotics.IntroductionThe Robot Operating System (ROS) has gained wide currency for creating working robotic sys-tems, initially in the laboratory and then in industry. The primary programming environment forthose working on ROS includes C++, Python, or Java. MathWorks recently released its RoboticsSystems Toolbox and ROS Toolbox. Using MATLAB to interact with robotic simulators (suchas Gazebo) and physical ROS-compatible robots (such as TurtleBot) becomes a new option. Theexisting toolboxes in MATLAB enable the development and verification of robotic control algo-rithms more quickly. Though it is

It includes six degrees of coordination namely reflexmovement, fundamental movements, perceptual abilities, physical abilities, skilled movements,and non-discursive communication.A review of existing literature in the psychomotor domain shows that teaching models have beendeveloped to promote critical thinking in the psychomotor setting [18]. Contemporary motor-skill learning theory [19] clearly supports the interaction of cognitive and neuromuscularprocesses as being necessary for the efficient execution of motor programs, which in turn utilizescognitive functions such as comparing, evaluating, memory, and imagery.

learning strategies can help students process information and solve problems7.That fact that assessment is a highly studied area in research underscores the fact that assessmentpractices play a subtle, complex, and enormously important role in student’s experience oflearning4. Flexible assessment modes can be seen as a first step towards a more student-ledpedagogy, while increasing student’s engagement in the assessment process3. The backbone ofour approach to flexible assessment is to use modern teaching techniques such as the flippedclassroom and studio format as they inherently place more responsibility on the student to learnthe course material. The flipped classroom moves control from teacher to student toaccommodate various learning styles

Faculty were required to carry 12 semester hours of class and 12office hours each semester. With required laboratories, the student contact hours increased evenmore. At the time of the study, the department had ten full time faculty members. Of the ten,one was the department chair and another was the associate dean both of which had thecommensurate administrative duties further increasing faculty workload.

While, in general, people want a well-managed place towork (fair and well-organized class schedules, teaching or office supplies provided in a timelyway, fair division of resources between people and programs, good advising support andsystems, etc.), they want to be led, not managed. Who ever heard of a “world manager” or a“boy scout manager?” So, it is important to manage departmental functions but lead the facultyand staff in the unit.As a departmental or educational unit leader, it is important to “manage yourself but leadothers.” To be effective as both a manager, it is necessary to remain focused and organized sothat the myriad of tasks facing you can be
