This work primarily focuses on the imperative of introducing a dedicated first-yearprogramming course into the RBE curriculum, designed specifically for robotics, whilehighlighting WPI RBE’s pioneering role in robotics education and the project-based approachthat sets it apart. We aim to enhance the educational experience and preparedness of our students,ensuring that they are well-equipped to meet the demands of the rapidly evolving field of robotics.The pedagogical theory and approach underpinning this course will be presented, and theexpected outcomes will be discussed, along with methods of

Additionally, G-AIplatforms such as ChatGPT provide students with immediate support in understanding conceptsand improving problem-solving abilities.

Though engineering programs often excel at teaching technical capabilities,communication, leadership, teamwork and project-based learning activities gain less attention. Inaddition, engineering programs typically lack a structured method to apply entrepreneurialthinking to their studies, where questions of financial viability, social usefulness and potentialdemand for their engineering solutions are integrated into their coursework.

Given the important role engineers play in transportation, manufacturing, design, and other areas relevant to S/CC, it is important for engineering students to be exposed to these topics throughout their studies. o Within S/CC topics, the concept of circularity (as in the circular economy) is discussed and included as a requirement for student projects. In this course and in this paper, circularity is referred to as Cradle to Cradle (C2C), based on the book by McDonough and Braungart [3]. The C2C approach promotes a

This helps studentssee right away if they're doing things right or wrong so they can fix mistakes as they go.In the early 1900s, a researcher named Jean Piaget found that kids understand things better whenthey do hands-on activities instead of just hearing facts [1]. And other experts like Meyers andJones agree that learning is more effective when students are actively involved, like reading,writing, talking, solving problems, or answering questions in a thoughtful way [2].Also, many studies have shown that technology and hands-on activities can help studentsunderstand how theory connects to real-life situations in engineering projects.

Minoritized students (MS) (defined in this work as African American and Latinx) oftenexperience increased instances of exclusionary academic environments compared to theirnon-minoritized counterparts [1]. As a result, MS are more likely than their peers to attrit fromtheir STEM majors. Faculty play a significant role in the development of either a positive ornegative academic culture. For this reason, there is a need to bring meaningful facultyengagement into the classroom to address the challenge of STEM degree completion disparitiesbetween MS and non-MS students.
