other educators who are interested in adopting CPBL-beyond-Classroom to redesign their courses based on the learning needs of their own students. A. IntroductionThe ability to solve real-world problems and design systems or components under realisticconstraints are essential to engineering and computer science graduates, as both mandated byABET and highly valued in professional practice. To help students develop such valuable skills,project-based learning (PBL) has been considered as a useful pedagogy by many engineering/CSeducators. However, it is also recognized that PBL may not always function if not designed andintegrated in the curriculum appropriately [1-4]. This challenge magnifies at commuter campuseswhere students having difficulty

The importance of embeddingcommunication across the curriculum in this way and building upon basic skills taught indedicated communication courses has been endorsed by a growing number of institutionsof higher learning that have formalized such programs (see for example, University ofPittsburgh, and their Oral Communication Center http://www.cxc.pitt.edu/).To address the goals of embedding oral communication toward the end of improvingstudent skills and understanding along with their recognition of the need to studycommunication topics, we attempted to explicitly teach communication skills

thesearch for a more effective approach to education has led researchers to explore other teachingtechniques that are less focused on the instructor2,11.Over the past 40 years, many teaching techniques have been developed, which tend to improveon the traditional passive method2. Most of the new methods are active learning techniques thathave some element of student engagement beyond the passive approach. Active learning is anumbrella innovative student-centered instructional technique that actively involves students inthe learning process4. Active learning can be achieved through activities that allow students to dosomething with the information that they are receiving, such as pausing in lectures for students toconsolidate their notes

As mentioned earlier, to actually program a behavior it takes an understanding of Wolfram’s numbering system for two state automata. There are many beautiful designs that can be created from very simple rules. • Tactile Maps: One of the more interesting projects in recent years is taking color maps of the university campus and processing them for printing on an embosser so that they can used by blind students and visitors to the campus. This is actually a very large research project, but pieces of it were done in the Game of Life workshop. Types of processing that had to be done include replacing one color by

In addition, students were expected to keep a journal documentingtheir reflections on what they had witnessed and learned throughout the trip.
