BUILD IT - Using Underwater Robotic Vehicles to Build IT and Pre-Engineering Skills

通过采用设计挑战来编程水下航行器执行任务，该项目旨在向学生传授信息技术，科学和解决问题的能力。 参与该项目的学生和教师与史蒂文斯的妇女和代表性不足的少数民族教师，研究人员和本科生面对面互动，帮助他们设计和测试水下机器人车辆。 教师，辅导员和家长提供有关信息技术职业选择的信息。 70名教师，35名指导顾问和140名选定的学生参加史蒂文斯理工学院的研讨会。 该项目提供了教室使用和支持所需的所有设备，以便教师能够在各自的教室开展活动。 使用的信息技术包括：ROBOLAB（基于LabVIEW的编程语言）、乐高机器人组件、微控制器、传感数据和数据分析、通信技术和电子技术。

By employing a design challenge to program an underwater vehicle to perform tasks, this project seeks to teach students about information technology, science and problem solving. Students and teachers involved in the project have face-to-face interaction with Stevens' women and underrepresented minority faculty, researchers and undergraduate students who help them design and test underwater robotic vehicles. Teachers, guidance counselors, and parents are provided with information about career options in information technology. Seventy teachers, 35 guidance counselors and 140 selected students participate in workshops at the Stevens Institute of Technology. The project provides all the equipment necessary for classroom use and support so teachers can implement the activity in their respective classrooms. The information technology in use includes: ROBOLAB (programming language based on LabVIEW), LEGO robotics components, microcontrollers, sensory data and data analysis, communication technologies and electronics.
