We will have both new incoming students and some returning students this summer. Our ultimate goal with the students is to develop an underwater robot that is cost efficient. -
-
"Project Based Learning and Robotics Competitions "
-
We have a lot of lessons learned from last year, that we will develop upon. This summer we plan on expanding our internship curriculum to add further detail work in microcontrollers and robotics.
Fri June 9 2017 : Internship orientation
The engineering student all did an awesome job!
This summer we have 12 students that signed up for our internship.
We had 39 students attend the first engineering session at the UCF-IST facility on June 9.
The students in attendance were divided into 5 teams.
- Mentoring Presentation -Brain
-
Following introductions, we conducted our orientation. The students were provided an overview of the internship and the expectations.
- The student took the Multi-tasking test.
- The Multi-tasking test results proved that none of us can Multi-task and must focus on our single task and do it well.
-
We then took part in the Tower of Power activity that focused on learning the Engineering Design Process.
