摘要：
This report presents the summary of a hybrid Robotics/Mechatronics pre-college STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) course designed to add flexibility to the lecturing process. The goal is to expand the serving capability of the LaGuardia Youth Center for Engineering Excellence (LYCEE) at LaGuardia Community College in Queens, New York City. The ultimate objective of LYCEE is to increase the enrollment of minority and female students into STEM programs and majors. The online component of the course is suggested to be about 40% of the total time of the course. High school students will share the online time between lecture in the LearnMate (TM) platform and live chat sessions (MSN, Skype, Yahoo Msgr., etc...) through webcam and microphone for academic discussions with faculty mentor. Some aspects about the potential application of the recommended curriculum are presented. The creation of a Hybrid STEM Lab for high schoolers is discussed.
