In each of these courses, the syllabus was broken down into the basic concepts by thevery instructors who have been teaching these courses for many years. In so doing, concepts thatmay be important but not fundamental to a course was packaged into other appropriate courses.The concepts that remained behind were considered to be the very fundamental concepts, alsoreferred to as the anchoring concepts. Typically, each course has five designated anchoringconcepts. The content material relevant to each anchoring concept was cast into a learning studiomodule (LSM). Thus, there are

Only 20-30% of the students completingthe assignment had taken senior design, likely accounting for the low percentage of studentsciting the course as contributing to leadership. The professional issues course had not yetcovered leadership at the time of the curriculum mapping assignment, but students had beeninstructed that they could map it to the outcomes based on the syllabus, if they chose to do so.Some courses associated with the various minors with leadership components were also mappedby students to the leadership outcome. This included business courses, engineering managementcourses, and ROTC courses

There were several reasons for this including a leadershiptransition at the school, lags in procurement and challenges in communication. Toovercome this hurdle, we ‘dusted off’ some older robotics materials from the HS closet towork with throughout the academic year. For the UMD curriculum, the program model was tested. At the service site, 1-2UMD students worked with a team of 3-4 HS students to design, build and program arobot. The course met once per week on Thursdays from 3:30 – 4:45 at the end of theschool day.

A typical grading scheme mighthave Homeworks at 20%, Quizzes at 10%, Midterms at 30%, and the Final Exam at 40%. InGermany this does not exist, since it’s entirely the final exam which determines the grade.Sometimes the German professors let the students do homework or have tests to make thestudents reflect on the content and work on problems, but these assignments don’t influence thefinal

This paper proposes that these simple activities presented early in the termwill improve retention and understanding, and also improve utilization of course concepts inpost-course design work.Experiential learning techniques can be time consuming and thus challenging to incorporate intocollegiate courses with a packed syllabus. Lab equipment can be expensive to purchase andmaintain. Further, instructors may presume that students have already formed simple mentalmodels of system behaviors from earlier coursework or life experiences.
