Abstract

In the movie October Sky, a group of high school students become inspired to learn how to build high-altitude rockets after watching Sputnik glide across the night sky soon after […], Robotics projects coupled with agent-oriented trends in artificial intelligence education have the potential to make introductory Al courses at liberal arts schools the gateway for a large new generation of AI practitioners. However, this vision's achievement requires programming libraries and low-cost platforms that are readily accessible to undergraduates and easily maintainable by instructors at sites with few dedicated resources. This article presents and evaluates one contribution toward implementing this vision: the RCXLisp library. The library was designed to support programming of the Lego Mindstorms platform in AI courses with the goal of using introductory robotics to motivate undergraduates' understanding of AI concepts within the agent-design paradigm. The library's evaluation reflects four years of student feedback on its use in a liberal-arts AI course whose audience covers a wide variety of majors. To help establish a context for judging RCXLisp's effectiveness this article also provides a sketch of the Mindstorms-based laboratory in which the library is used.

Abstract

Many undergraduate teaching institutions have modified their civil engineering curricula to incorporate technical and philosophical innovations into their programs. The modifications range from modest changes in course content to new sequences of interwoven and complementary courses. Villanova University's new civil engineering curriculum retains a core of courses in five basic disciplines: environmental engineering, structures, transportation engineering, hydraulics and hydrology, and geotechnical engineering. The curriculum includes a new introductory course, 'Civil Engineering Measurements,' that is designed to stimulate the students' interest and introduce them to the five disciplines. The course draws on the students' knowledge of physical science and allows them to use these principles in quantifying data they derive from working on practical problems and projects. Most of the course is centered around two major team projects: an environmental study of a local stream and a model truss. The course was introduced in fall 1992 and appears to have been successful in stimulating and motivating the students as well as preparing them for their subsequent studies.
