The Value of Practical Experience: An Evaluation of the Success of FIRST Robotics Competition Participants in Higher Education
PúblicoConteúdo disponível para baixar
open in viewerThis study examines the relationship between FIRST Robotics Competition participation in high school and college performance with respect to quantifiable data such as GPA, Dean’s List, and standardized testing. The sample size was roughly 8,000 students, tracked across seven years. Only the classes of 2016 through 2018 had data indicating if they participated in FRC. Data was gathered through the Offices of Admissions and of the Registrar. Results showed that FIRST students did worse in college with respect to standard grading. Due to a lack of data on Team Projects no significant analysis was done on the effects of FIRST Participation on more design and build projects such as the IQP and MQP.
