An Introduction to the NASA Robotics Alliance Cadets Program
Session F An Introduction to the NASA Robotics Alliance Cadets Program David R. Schneider, Clare van den Blink NASA, DAVANNE, & Cornell University / Cornell University CIT [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The 2006 report National Defense Education and Innovation Initiative highlighted this nation’s growing need to revitalize undergraduate STEM education. In response, NASA has partnered with the DAVANNE Corporation to create the NASA Robotics Alliance Cadets Program to develop innovative, highly integrated and interactive curriculum to redesign the first two years of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. This paper introduces the NASA Cadets Program and provides insight into the skill areas targeted by the program as well as the assessment methodology for determining the program’s effectiveness. The paper also offers a brief discussion on the capabilities of the program’s robotic platform and a justification for its design into the program. As an example of the integration of the robotic platform with the program’s methodologies, this paper concludes by outlining one of the first educational experiments of NASA Cadets Program at Cornell University to be implemented in the Spring 2007 semester. I. Introduction To be an engineer is to be a designer, a creator of new technology, and the everyday hero that solves society’s problems through innovative methods and products by making ideas become a reality. However, the opportunity to truly explore these key concepts of being an engineer are often withheld from most incoming engineering students until at least their junior year causing many new students to lose motivation and potentially leave the program. -

POVERTY ALLEVIATION: a Role for Technology and Infrastructure?
Fondazione per la Collaborazione tra i Popoli Foundation for World Wide Cooperation Presidente Romano Prodi POVERTY ALLEVIATION: A Role for Technology and Infrastructure? CONCEPT NOTE ENERGY CONNECTIVITY (Communication and learning) HEALTH & FOOD ROMA, 2015 MAY Fondazione per la Collaborazione tra i Popoli Foundation for World Wide Cooperation Presidente Romano Prodi CONCEPT NOTE Poverty Alleviation: A Role for Technology and Infrastructure? The goal of the conference is twofold: to assess the results of technology-based poverty alleviation projects and to explore the social and political effects of this technology. In particular, we want to start floating an idea that may be out of the 'mainstream’ of political thinking. We all agree that peace and security are crucial to work for poverty alleviation. The common approach of international aid agencies is to build institutional and governance reform. While this is indispensable, it should not be the only focus. While rushing to create multi-party, parliamentary systems, independent judiciaries and free press, we should not forget the human factor, i.e. the need to build trust and communication among different individuals who will need, quite simply, to work together in order to make those institutions function. Today, in the twenty-first century, some of the most exciting tools available for addressing these issues are technology and innovation. Even with the best of governance and a visionary leadership, if there is no inclusive development, a country cannot move forward. Throughout history technology has been a powerful instrument for economic and social development. Technology played a critical role in reducing poverty in vast areas of the world in the past and can play today a crucial function in the battle against poverty. -

This expansion has also enabled up-line saving of programs from Hero to Unix. These facilities are implemented in EPROM form (2716) in the optional ROM socket on Hero's CPU board. The program stored in EPROM is essentially the same as the Utility EPROM used on the expanded ET-3400 Microprocessor Trainers in the Department's Microcomputer Laboratory, with minor modifications to run on Hero. As a direct result of incorporating these facilities into Hero, the Unix down-line load program 'dll' has been upgraded (to allow for up- line save), and an r-file for the Unix general-purpose cross-~ssembler 'mac' has been written to allow for the use of Robot Interpreter commands (Hero utilizes unused M6800 op. -
