There is a recognized need to educate next generations in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) disciplines. In response, a number of teaching modules were designed, with systems emphasis and web access. They are used to prepare undergrads to develop robotics applications across the STEM curricula to encourage students of various disciplines to pursue related research. The projects advance undergraduate research in STEM disciplines by connecting the lab to STEM related courses, including:- Sciences, remote control of experiments;- Technology, training teachers in robotics education;- Engineering, software design for robotics;- Math, researching robotics algorithms.
