Mechanical Flapping Bird STEM Outreach
gram was developed using mechanical flapping birds. . The program ran over a six week period at Arizona State Universityticipation of 7-12 grade students from Superior Jr / Sr High School. The program aims to empower students with motivation and confidence, through fun and exciting learning activities, in order for students to become interested in professions within the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and / or Mathematics (STEM). EPICS in IEEE award with the paral of $ 7,250 for the completion of this project.ded a tot
The students in addition to building, test and collect data from mechanical flapping birds, they were exposed using program like SolidWorks and Labview. More information

STEM Beyond the Borders: An Engineering Enrichment Outreach Program-Part II (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Beyond the Borders: An Enrichment Outreach Program in Engineering-Part II)
Researchers: Dra. Victoria Serrano (Technological University of Panama ), Michael Thompson (Arizona State University), Dr. Konstantinos Tsakalis (Arizona State University), Dr. Armando Rodriguez (Arizona State University), Dr. Iveth Moreno (Technological University of Panama).This is a project that continues version # 1 developed in October 2015 with the support of the EPICS in IEEE program. The project sought to motivate high school youth in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics through the use of a mobile robot controlled by Arduino boards. IEEE Control Systems Society awarded a total of $ 15,000.00 for the development of this project that took place from August 2016 to July 2017 at the Chiriquí Regional Center. The participating schools were: Colegio Félix Olivares Contreras, Colegio San Agustín, Colegio San Francisco de Asís, Colegio Beatriz Miranda de Cabal and Colegio Adventista Bilingüe de David. The students received classes during six sessions of three hours in the months of June and July of 2017 where they learned to use an Arduino board, design parts for 3D printing and control a mobile robot. The program closed with a poster presentation by the participating students and an obstacle avoidance robot competition. A mobile robot was donated to each participating school for later use and thus contribute to the sustainability of the program. First and second year students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering collaborated as program volunteers during each of the sessions.Study, Analysis and Control of Buck ConvertersSTEM Beyond the Borders: An Engineering Enrichment Outreach Program.

Iveth Moreno (Technological University of Panama).The objective of this project was to motivate 12th grade students to study engineering careers and learn mathematical concepts with the use of a Lego-Snake built with Lego EV3 equipment. The students developed their programming in Matlab / Simulink, participated in a competition where their snake had to slide on a curvy path, and prepared and presented a poster at the end of the program. The project was developed in the Chiriquí Regional Center of the Technological University of Panama in October 2015. Three schools participated in the project: Beatriz Miranda de Cabal School, San Francisco de Asís School and San Agustín School with a total of 5 students each school. EPICS in IEEE provided the funds to develop this project ($ 5,850.00). This project counted with the collaboration of students and professors from Arizona State University in the phase of preparation and analysis of the results. The results of the program were presented at the 14th International Conference on Education (http://www.hiceducation.org/EDU2016.pdf pages 1451-1460) in Honolulu, Hawaii in January 2016.

The purpose of this project was to replicate an industrial robotic arm by using equipment from Lego Mindstorms to understand its functionality and designing a controller to improve its efficiency. Understanding how industrial plants work is essential in designing an appropriate controller. This allows us to improve characteristics such as: (1) reduce the response time of the system, (2) stabilize it, or (3) make it less sensitive to external disturbances. Plus, Lego Mindstorms kits are versatile, allowing us to build any arrangement imaginable. They also offer a programmable device that allows you to mimic robotic configurations that exist in today's industrial plants. The project was developed at Arizona State University (ASU) with the participation of graduate students from the Hispanic Society of Professional Engineers (SHPE) and the Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) from August 2014 to February 2015. Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) at ASU provided the funds for the development of this study ($ 500.00). The results of this project were presented at the GPSA Interdisciplinary Research Symposium on March 17, 2015. The video showing the operation of this robotic arm with the use of Simulink was published in the Makerzone section of MathWorks The Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) at ASU provided the funds for the development of this study ($ 500.00).

This project sought to determine the effectiveness of an Arduino mobile robot as a tool to spark children's interest in engineering careers. The first stage comprised the construction of an Arduino mobile robot, while the second phase comprised its use as a tool to motivate students.The impact of this project was mostly reflected in the Latino community and local schools that were the main participants in this program and who represent a minority in engineering areas in the United States. The project was developed with 4th and 5th grade students from local schools from January to April 2014 at Grand Canyon University in Arizona, United States. The Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) at ASU provided the funds for the development of this study ($ 500.00). The results of this project were presented at the International Conference on Education in Chicago through the poster entitled "STEAM Enrichment Program: Bridging the gap for students in urban schools" ( http://www.chicagoice.org/posters-2015/) in May 2015, and at the RLDC Engineering Symposium in San Diego in April 2014.
