the early 1990s1 , Malcolm argued that students perception towards engineering was considered more of atechnically oriented, they did not understand the socio-economic context and benefits ofengineering. Accordingly, preferences of introducing of engineering design to K-12 educationprograms were emerged to provide a venue and experience demonstrating engineeringconnections to human needs 2. STEM is actually an integration of four disciplines in which technology and engineering arelayered onto standard science and Mathematics curricula resulting in cohesive curricula in whichbarriers are removed between the four disciplines. Although wide spectrum of scientific knowledge and socio-economic advances are based ontechnological developments

With this in mind this robot-based studentorganization looked to use the course described in the paper as the first step at forming the 2015ASEE robot team as well as an opportunity to recruit and mentor many future organizationmembers.

Research in this area hasaddressed the cooperative process of design and development of expertise, while includingstudents in pedagogical planning processes. In particular, studies have found that students areable to play an important role as co-designers and the end products are better designed to meettheir personal needs and expectations [12].In our research, Participatory Design Approach was selected to redesign our instructional systemusing CPBL, since we believe that by engaging the target learners in the design process, we canshape a curriculum that better fits the learning characteristics of our students, and to promote“locality, diversity, involvement

Young students are eager to apply the engineering skills they are acquiring, toengage with these problems. This is echoed in the study conducted by Oberst and Joneson the megatrends in engineering practice, which identified social imperative as one ofthem [3]. As such, there has been a call for engineering educators to create opportunitiesfor students to learn how “engineering is an integral part of societal change” and be ableto accept “responsibility for civilization’s progress” [4].A set
