As a result many undergraduate and graduate STEM institutions are unable to establish these important STEM programs in their curriculum. This paper introduces an alternative method of teaching important control system and robotics concepts using LEGO kits and ROBOTC software. Such a program has been successfully implemented in NYIT's school of electrical and computer engineering. In this paper, the design and optimal control of the LEGO Mindstorms NXT motor system is studied. The system for which we design this controller is pre-identified and control is implemented with a state feedback controller. The system's open and closed loop dynamics are computed and the responses are observed. We first check the observability and controllability criteria for the system. We then design an LQR based state feedback controller and using a Kalman filter observer. The controller is then implemented as an H2 (LQG) optimal controller. The performance of H2 controller is analyzed and simulated. The controllers are then implemented and validated on the prototype.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114410572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this particular example, a company working on a government-sponsored robotics project worked closely with a neighboring middle school to both accomplish project goals and promote STEM interest in students. The initial collaboration served as “an initiative that spurred initiatives”, and the resulting outcome provided benefits for both the school and the company alike. The school benefitted from exposing students to scientists and engineers working on real-world applications, and from receiving resources from the company to enhance their existing curriculum. The company benefitted from the rewarding work experience that the collaboration offered for its scientists and engineers, and, subsequently, organized a formal STEM committee to pursue similar collaborative opportunities more broadly.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125584550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Productive learning is engendered by trust, safety, supportive interpersonal relationships between mentors and students, and adaptation of teaching style to match the students' frame of reference. These principles are incorporated in the design of an online learning program called Best We Can Be. We discuss how technology-aided instruction encourages students to explore subject matter beyond their comfort zone. This fosters students' natural curiosity about STEM topics, and helps overcome their anxiety about whether they will be able to learn the subject matter. In Best We Can Be, students participate in structured, hands-on activities illustrating the cross-fertilization of academic disciplines (e.g., bioethics, which encompasses social, health and biological sciences, humanities, law, etc.) and their interdependency in society. We examine technology's enablement of student interactions within secure networks of mentors, experts, and peers. We discuss transformative impacts of broadening student appreciation of the world of possibilities that await them in future educational and career paths. The ultimate goal is for students to become self-motivated, life-long productive learners.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114369147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work present a survey made during the second semester of 2012 with in service teachers that have been working in Pequeños Científicos program. Results show that teachers recognize a positive impact of implementation of the project in the environment of the classroom. Aspects as collaborative work and role recognition inside the group were highlighted as important as well as respect for other ideas or opinions. Other situations as recognition of abuse or nonaggressive communication were not influenced by the program. Teachers also report that competences as learning from error improved significantly with Pequeños Científicos. This work suggests that STEM education can promote not only an improvement in scientific and technological competences but also peaceful environments in the school, and that the Pequeños Científicos program is an opportunity to transform students-teacher and students-students relationships in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126687905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
