An Undergraduate Robotic Learning Laboratory

建立了计算机科学(CPS)和工业与工程技术(IET)中级和面向项目课程的教学实验室。因此，CPS的学生能够通过编程机器人效应器的媒介，对数据结构以及人工智能和机器学习课程中引入的抽象概念有一个具体的感受。例如，这些效应器可用于移动棋盘上的棋子。通过对实验室经验的概括，学生能够更好地掌握抽象概念。同样，IET学生有机会获得如何应用人工智能技术解决工厂调度和其他相关问题的知识。此外，受影响的课程促进了CPS和IET学生及其系教员之间的更大互动。这种互动对成功的教学和学生研究至关重要。这也是吸引大学社区内新专业的积极诱因。由首席调查员所在机构提供的等额奖金将与此相匹配。

An instructional laboratory for the teaching of intermediate and project-oriented courses in Computer Science (CPS) and Industrial and Engineering Technology (IET) has been established. As a result CPS students are able to get a concrete feeling for abstract concepts introduced in the Data Structures and AI and Machine Learning courses through the medium of programming robotic effectors. These effectors can be used to move chess pieces on a board for example. Students are able to better grasp abstract concepts through the generalization of their experiences in the laboratory. Similarly, IET students are afforded the opportunity to acquire knowledge of how to apply AI techniques in solving factory scheduling and other related problems. Moreover, the affected courses fosters greater interaction among CPS and IET students and their departmental faculty. This interaction is crucial to successful teaching and student research. It is also a positive inducement towards the attraction of new majors from within the university community. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
