implementseveral lessons that illustrate real-world applications of concepts from middle school curriculum. In the first lesson, the relationship between wheel rotations, wheel circumference, anddistance traveled is derived. The effect of wheel diameter on forward velocity is assessed and theerrors that may accumulate from the use of an incorrect diameter of the wheel are examined. Thestudents use their knowledge of wheel rotations versus displacement to measure the length andwidth of the classroom. Next, the notion of feedback control is introduced through a controllerthat enables the robot to move a commanded linear distance. In the second lesson, the effect ofcommanding one wheel to move slower than the other wheel is observed. This leads to

programming languages like Haskelland Ada. The complexity of hardware descriptions coupled with HDL similarities to sequentialprogramming languages has led the authors to propose the idea of introducing LP into HDLeducation. Using LP to improve HDL education has not been widely investigated. One earlyattempt involved an approach very similar to Knuth’s WEB approach [18][19] using a Prologlogic program to generate a human-readable form and a Verilog HDL file. The main thrust ofthis effort was to capture the formal operational semantics of the description and animate thebehavior of parallelisms. The approach taken in [18] and [19] will clearly suffer from the failingsof Knuth’s efforts with regard to a maintainability, tool-chain integration, and user

Often times, engineering instructors are dealing with overpackedcurriculum, students who lack confidence or ability within their programming, or lack familiaritywith the programming environments available and useful to students today [5]. Furthermore,gaps continue to exist within racial, gender, and socioeconomic differences [6]. However, recentwork has shown that integrating programming into the curriculum through the lens of popularapplications of its use can help broaden participation within computing disciplines [7].Innovations in computing environments have given rise to technology-enhanced learning

IntroductionNowadays, laboratories that work with hands-on experiments are among the core componentsof engineering studies. Hands-on experiments help efficiently digest theoretical concepts andtrain students to rely on the facts according to physical evidence. On the other hand, highequipment cost and the lack of the necessary maintenance and assistance have led to reducedimportance of hand-on laboratories on the curriculum. Software simulators, based onmathematical models, can be an alternative method to replace the traditional hands-onlaboratories; however, the valuable
