Transformative learning experience for incoming freshmen engineering students through robotics researchAbstractAs part of 2010 Summer Bridge program at the ……….four incoming freshmen studentsinterested in majoring in engineering participated in activities intended to introduce them torobotics research for four weeks. These students were mentored by two upper level engineeringstudents; and assisted and trained by the laboratory staff members. The research projectfocused on embedded system design with the Atmel microcontroller for robotics. The workingembedded system involves integrating hardware, firmware and software development on a PC.The activities consisted of lectures, hands-on training in basic laboratory skills in electricalengineering, microcontroller programming, small projects, and a fairly challenging final groupproject for freshmen students. Students successfully finished the program with delivering theirfinal project. Two of the students, through support from the program, have continued with theongoing robotics research activities during their freshman year.
