| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2017 |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Building on the success of our Robotics Camp this past summer, we intend to offer another set of camps this year. The camp will again utilize Lego Mindstorm kits to teach basic coding and robotics to high school students. We plan to refine the set of topics and split our offerings into two separate camps for different age groups. In order to facilitate this, we are asking for some additional equipment: 4 additional Educational Kits and 1 additional Expansion Set. This equipment might also help to serve the Engineering Department. This past semester (Fall 2017), one of our faculty taught the EGR 102 (Engineering 2) course and utilized the Lego Mindstorm Robotics kits during the later laboratory sessions – the Mindstorm equipment was supplemented with a Linux Distrubution so that students could program the robots in C/C++. With sufficient additional equipment, we could support several sections of EGR 102 and also utilize them for the Robotics summer camps. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | There are too few kits to support larger EGR 102 lab sections, should the Engineering Department choose to continue to teach the EGR 102 course utilizing the Mindstorms kits. The current set of kits is also insufficient to support more than one simultaneous summer camp session. |
| Department Goals | Expand and enhance our offerings and programs to create a larger student pool and broaden the technology skills of our graduates., Continue to provide a high-quality educational experience for our students while improving content and delivery. |
