,where the traditional 18-week course is split into three one-credit hour 6-week modules. Withthis separation, different disciplines are able to build their curriculum to the needs of theirstudents. The first two courses (ENGR 2431: DC Circuits and ENGR 2531: AC Circuits)primarily cover topics that non-majors are required to know for the FE exam. The final 6-weekcourse (ENGR 3431: Electromechanical Systems) includes advanced topics not typically taughtin an introductory circuits course, such as LabView programming, digital logic, computercommunications, sensors, and motors. To provide a more practical and hands-on approach to thestructure of ENGR 3431 a robotics project was implemented in the Spring 2011 semester. Thispaper focuses primarily on

Design courses also vary by the source ofthe projects. In some institutions, instructors design the courses while in other institutions;students propose their design projects. A recent trend has been the use of industry-led andservice-based projects for capstone design courses. Projects often vary by team size and mayconsist of teams of one to as many as five members.A review of the literature reveals that there has been considerable investigation into thetechniques used to teach

There are many software packages that aid in creatingconcept maps, but the developers for this project simply used Microsoft PowerPoint. A processfor creating large-scale concept maps is outlined in previous literature [12]. After a concept mapis created it is converted into an XML document so that the software can interpret the conceptsand links between concepts.
