摘要：
A two week program was initiated summer 2012 at the University of South Alabama for high-achieving incoming engineering students. The program introduces students to two highly popular areas: robotics and composite materials. The participants are exposed to a graphical programming tool, LabVIEW (TM), which is widely used in engineering curricula, and use the tool to program LEGO MINDSTORM (R) robots. This combination provides immediate, visual, verification of project solutions. The students quickly gain skills and facility with both tools, creatively addressing the various assigned tasks. The program has been highly successful in capturing the interest of the participants and has led to increased retention of these students in engineering.
