to trisect the entirecamp experience into pre-camp, camp and post-camp components.Pre-campAlthough making money is not the goal of most robotics camps, organizers must still collectmoney and must distribute those funds to meet the needs of the camp. This reality leads to thefirst decision. Is your summer robotic program(s) going to be operated by a not-for-profit entity,or is it being conducted to earn revenue? Revenue generating types of camps, a for-profitorganization, will include different planning, budgeting, and taxation concerns not discussed hereand our recommendation is to organize your camp within a not-for-profit structure. Either way,there are two general avenues for funds that camp organizers can pursue to assist in financing

Also future studies can discuss if there are any differencesbetween the experiences of the international student versus domestic students in the engineeringfield. Additionally, analysis by gender can also be done to better understand specific experiencesof students in engineering majors. Page 22.288.13 References1 Zidney, A. L., Bennett, J.

At this point, we have spent approximately an hour-and-a-half on material leading up to the catapult. Instead of delving straight into calculations, we have the students build a catapult from plans and parts that we provide.

CAD/CAM graduates will increasingly have to compete with skilled and lower paid workers from countries like China, India and the developing world.• An Expansive Curriculum: A stand-alone program will need to have opportunities to expand the curriculum to allow specialization. The current curriculum through the proposed technical electives already to some extent captures alternatives. However, there is room for additional courses that would both compliment and supplement the current experience. These would be in the following areas: o Product Lifecycle Management (PLM): Exposure to the setup and use of a Product Data Management system would be

They also indicated a high degree of anxiety aboutthe course, surprising since the term was ending when this survey was administered. BecauseCS1501 serves such a varied skill level, it is possible that those with fewer skills entering thecourse are intimidated and thus less likely to participate in discussions or ask questions.Students, then, might feel both anxiety from and anger towards CS1501.The resources provided for the students drew the most diverse comments.

Review of presentprograms at the eight government-run colleges, referred to in Table 1; supplemented with feedback from colleagues, and comments made by some recent graduates, have lead the author toarrive at the following apparent short comings and/or deficiencies in the present program(s).First, the program as a whole has become increasingly fragmented into what appears to thestudent as almost independent parts. Most programs are comprised of isolated individual courses Page 15.918.8or group of courses. Students seem to be indifferent and probably satisfied, regardless of thefragmentation, so long as they graduate. The
