overarching project of the Sophomore Unified Core Curriculum forEngineering Education (SUCCEEd) developed by faculty of the College of Engineering atCalifornia State University Los Angeles1. The project is the basis for the integration ofengineering courses that were part of the SUCCEEd pilot that took place in the Fall of 2014.Integration is used as tool to reinforce learning and promote student success. An integration ofsubjects and reiteration of theories, prediction, practice, testing, optimization, assessment, anddissemination of information in a collaborative environment has been supported in the literatureas a better way to learn engineering than the traditional, segregation by topic approach.

Building robots that can maneuver in multiple dimensions,grab objects and navigate obstacles underwater supports students’ development of physicalscience and engineering core ideas, practices, and cross-cutting concepts as emphasized in theNext Generation Science Standards. 11 In addition, students learn and employ computerprogramming to control behavior of their robots.WaterBotics fosters an active, discovery-based learning environment that integrates

While this may appear like a common imageprocessing tool, it’s quite different in that the tool only performs the basic methods studied inthe course.

One quasi-experimental design byDennis found that PBL in both face-to-face and online format were equally supportive tostudents’ learning but students in online PBL groups spent more time on learning and that therewas a significant relationship between learning issues generated and higher exam scores8.
