overall learning interest, motivation and performance ofstudents could be improved by including robot-based learning systems in the educationalprocess. We imagine that this satisfaction will help improve their confidence levels, andencourage them to explore more deeply the field of engineering.One of the practical proposals presented by Curto and Moreno [3] for an educational  environment  with  educational  robots  is  their  design of educational projects.  The goal of this type of project is to change students’ misperception of engineering andtechnology. Such activities are designed in a game or other creative framework requiringteamwork and collaborative learning. Designing educational projects in this wayfacilitates the integration of

In a research design blending both informal and formallearning, students participated in one of two tinkering activities on a museum field trip, MarbleMachines or Wind Tubes, for approximately 45 minutes. Back at school, two weeks later, bothgroups had the opportunity to learn from a 20-minute instructional video, which containedsegments that explained scientific concepts relevant to both activities. We seek to answer thequestion of whether a relatively short experience with tinkering prepares students to better learnscience content from an

Based upon departmental needs analyses and published research onpossible ‘fits’ from successful STEM initiatives at other institutions, we designed PRIMES toblend two general strands that would support these anticipated outcomes: 1. Transform Teaching and Learning: Improved retention as a result of expanding our undergraduate teaching assistance (UTA) programs and institutionalizing a formal UTA training pedagogy. A working knowledge in best practices will enable them to be both effective and engaging in the laboratory and/or classroom. 2. Increase Faculty and Student Interactions: Improved retention as a

For example, in the area of structural engineering,the process of defining a system involves defining the system geometric model, material model,load model, connection model, boundary and support conditions, and the analysis model.
