Objectives of this method ofprogram integration include: 1) strengthened recruiting of students to engineering studies

Engineering Service Learning Course with a High School Robotics TeamAbstractThrough service learning, both students and community partners help fulfill each other’s needs.A robotics service-learning course teaches the principles of robotics through hands-on activitiesand requires each student to participate in mentoring high school robotics team. Through theserelationships, students gain a deeper understanding of the principles of robotics from theclassroom, through teaching those principles to others and helping their mentored team solveproblems. Students gain an appreciation for, and capability to, inspire younger generations toengage in STEM activities.The course integrates STEM outreach into the engineering curriculum as a major

the model (Figure 7), represents curriculum design, whichincludes the course structure and content. This bar carries the two outcomes to students and linksthe goals to the framework. A strong curriculum that integrates all the previous factors well, isrequired for any successful engineering education.On a student’s perspective, an effective design-based curriculum involves a strong integration ofengineering theory and provision of context, as they are discussed in this model. It is difficult tolearn abstract concepts, especially within the first few years of study, when the rationale isunclear. The authors propose that the curriculums should further involve focus on developingappreciation and rehearsal of the engineering practice. Students

We have some pre-planned assignments, such as a moon weight calculator which asks for auser’s weight on earth and calculates his or her weight on the moon. We also build flexibilityinto the curriculum, incorporating student ideas whenever possible. For example, after workingon the moon weight calculator program, a student said “I wonder if we could use the same ideato come up with a sentencing calculator?”. The sentencing calculator involved accepting as input(a) an initial sentence duaration, (b) eligibility for “half time” and (c) if you were good and gotyour 10% “kick”. This program was exciting to create because we hadn’t yet discussed “if”statements. We had to work around
