Thus, is it better to develop skills to become adaptive experts and hope students learnmore content knowledge later in their careers, or better to deliver the content and hope studentsbecome effective thinkers later?This question also presents another debate. If there are currently professional engineers who areadaptive experts and thinking critically and reflectively, without having an undergraduatecurriculum that emphasizes those concepts, do they even need to be emphasized? If theyabsolutely cannot be taught, as Edwards and Thomas suggest,135 then spending the time to do sowould certainly be wasteful. However, the heavy influence of disposition

The studentswho enrolled in ENG 694 had completed the first year robot design project earlier in theiracademic career. As such, the emphasis of ENG 694 involved using the controller with smallrobotic vehicles, but in contrast with the freshman course, students were given a standardizedpre-built robot rather than being required to construct one. This allowed focus on programmingthe Proteus. This atmosphere allowed for low-risk testing of the Proteus hardware under realisticconditions.
