“…It appears that the mechanical part of the craft is understood and handled, but the electrical and electronics components of the craft are treated as black boxes. Since students at the University of Manitoba run electronics workshops for other students from both the UofM and pre-university institutions [5], it could be beneficial to include the hovercraft students in the workshops. Furthermore, since the UofM provides a non-credit course on ham radio (covering essential elements of the electromagnetic theory and radio operations), the hovercraft students could also be invited to participate in the course in order to learn how the radio control works.…”

The Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters Discovery Program is an annual competition where teams of high school students compete to design, build, and test a remote control hovercraft. The competition exposes students to the manufacturing process, from research and development, through to the product launch. Preuniversity teams from across Manitoba compete to build the hovercraft, write a business plan, and present their work to a panel of judges from academia and industry. The winning teams receive scholarships for postsecondary studies.This paper describes the Discovery Program hovercraft competition and lessons learned from the first four years of the program.

“…Students can also extend their experiential learning by running workshops (e.g., [SDSW12]). Professors also supplement the experiential learning by presenting specialized courses (e.g., on ham radio theory and practice) and related workshops.…”

Diverse attempts are being made to develop new computers, machines and systems that could act not only autonomously, but also in an increasingly intelligent, perceptual and cognitive manner. This paper discusses some of the educational challenges stemming from this emerging modelling and design paradigm, including teaching appropriate subjects to undergraduate and graduate students in university engineering programs.
