This quantitative study analyzed and interpreted ex-post facto data of 81educators and 2,455 who participated in WaterBotics. WaterBotics is an underwater robotics curriculum in which middle and high schoolstudents learn about science and engineering concepts and careers by working in groups to buildsubmersible robots made of LEGO® components. Using LEGO® Mindstorms® NXT software,students program controllers that enable their remotely-operated underwater robots to perform aseries of increasingly complex “missions.” The curriculum takes approximately 20 to 26 hours toimplement.

/universities have introduction to engineering for freshmen. However,most are offered in each department to fulfill the need for the department.Laboratory exercises play an important role in engineering education1-3. They provide theopportunity for students to work on modern machines, tools used in industry. There are differentways to deliver labs: individual lab exercises and project based lab exercises.Project-based learning is a dynamic method to inspire students to obtain a deeper understandingof the subjects, apply and integrate knowledge they are studying. Normally a project is acomplex task, which involves design thinking, decision making, problem solving, etc.2Laboratory work helps students learn actively, hence it has been widely applied to

Similar to the Lorenz system example, Hilpert and colleagues (2013, 2014) have used differentialequation modeling to produce simulations of how students plan for a future career in engineering as theyenter young adulthood. Their work is an example of how dynamic modeling can be used to examinestudents planning, self-regulation, and problem solving. They integrate interviews, surveys, and studentdrawings of timelines of their lives to produce dynamic models for how students’ goals shift with regardto 1) what they value in the future

Academic credit was not offered in the 2010 initial class, but since 2012 – 2017, the class has been offered as a construction elective within the Building Science curriculum.
