Re: Robotics Research for Graduate School

Norm,

You might consider doing a real comparison of how the students in robotics do in their classes, particularly math and science, versus your students that don't do robotics. Is the FIRST program making a significant difference to students' educations? If all of your students in robotics are also in calculus, compare them with a (control) group of students not in robotics. Can a significant difference be determined? Also, make sure that you take things, such as athletics or academic decathalon into account since they often have minimum grade requirements to participate.
