A Laboratory Exercise Using LEGO Handy Board Robots to Demonstrate Neural Networks In An Artificial Intelligence Class

In this paper we propose a novel method for teaching neural networks with back propagation in an undergraduate Artificial Intelligence course. The students build a robot whose task is to learn path-following behavior with a neural network. Robots are constructed from standard LEGO® pieces and use the MIT Handy Board as a controller.

Laboratory Exercise

Molecular genetic laboratory exercises can be ineffective due the student’s lack of connection to the complex and sequential protocols. In this inquiry-based molecular genetic laboratory exercise, we harness students’ fascination with human forensics and provide a real-life scenario using biomolecular techniques to identify “whose blood is on the t-shirt.” We use fish blood to create realistic ...

Laboratory Exercise

We present a lab that enables students to test the role of genes involved in the regulation of lateral roots growth in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, students design an experiment that follows the effects of the hormone auxin on the stimulation of genes involved in the formation of lateral root initials. These genes, known as lateral organ boundary domain containing protein (LBD) g...

Exercise and other indirect challenges to demonstrate asthma or exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in athletes.

The prevalence of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction is reported to be high among recreational and elite athletes, yet diagnosis is often symptom-based. Indirect challenges such as the laboratory exercise challenge provide objective criteria for proper diagnosis and treatment. However, a standardized protocol using appropriate exercise intensity, duration, and dry air inhalation is often not ...
