area andstorage bin. Figure 8 shows scooping and dumping the sand into storage bin. Each trip the mining robotcarried around 1.5 kg of sand in 23 seconds and dumped the sand in 42 seconds. The traveling speed ofthe robot was 0.3 m/s. To scoop and dump a 10 kg simulant, the robot will take 230 seconds for the 7.7 mdistance. The size of the competition arena was 3.79 m wide and 7.7 m long. Each team was given 10minutes for the competition, so the VSU robot could make two mining trips. A video demonstration ofthe testing can be seen in Reference 17. The emergency key switch was examined during the testing, andit reliably tuned off the main power of the robot. (a) (b) Figure 8. (a
, Indiana.This paper describes the following promising solution: (a) set up and organize a system forcollecting plastic used for water and soda bottles, (b) design and manufacture production line forautomatically processing plastic bottles to make plastic ribbons of various sizes, (c) use theplastic ribbon to make a prototype of useful products like tables, chairs, roofing, decorations, etc.This paper covers the design details of three machines that are core in the successfulimplementation of the project. The first machine converts waste plastic into plastic ribbon. Thesecond machine is for the straightening of the plastic ribbon. The third machine is for kneadingstraight plastic ribbon into various artifacts of choice.The paper brings forth the

Emotions aresystematically affected by the knowledge and goals of the learner, as well as vice versa.” Theygo on to explain that a balanced system is important when learning through failure. If this formof learning is uncontrolled, students will either be in states of, “(a) engagement/flow as theypursue the superordinate learning goal of mastering the material in the learning environment or(b

We assigned values of1= No, 2= Maybe, and 3= Yes to the survey question answers and analyzed the average scoresfor each question between the two groups (A/B in pre-requisite course vs. C or below in pre-requisite course). A t-test was used to test for statistical significance. The results (Figure 5)showed that students who came into the class with a C or below felt that the tiered mentoringproject gave them more expertise (p = .02) and more confidence (p = .01) in the topics theyworked on, compared to students who came into the class with As or Bs.

(b) The coaches and athletic trainers are always looking to offer students an opportunity to work in collegiate sports. They were in the same shoes as the student interns and needed someone to give them a chance to pursue their career goals. The coaches saw this as a way to give back while also getting useful assistance in return. The coaches and athletic trainers gave of their time in training the new interns on how to work with the data, wearables, and other athletic technology. They gained a small staff of people who were able to spend time with the data and provided assistance that they would have been

If the goal is to create a sustainable STEM pipeline, then a continuum ofexperiences throughout the education ecosystem can be the common connection among allpartners. The key features for developing quality relationships with the community involve trust,mutual respect, strong leadership, resource allocation, successful products of the pipeline andeffective and constant communication.
