The goal of the VEC is to educate highschool students regarding solar energy and to inspire them to pursue careers in STEM.David Thibodeaux STEM Magnet Academy (DTSMA) in Lafayette, Louisiana has identified“problem-based learning” as a much needed high-impact educational practice based onadministrative observations of classrooms, analysis of student performance on standardized tests,and faculty input based on STEM training classes [2]. The VEC allows teams of high-schoolstudents to follow the problem-based learning paradigm to learn about solar energy. Initially thestudents are presented with a

education to help students develop deep understanding. This work hasmostly been at the K-12 level; but argumentation is even more important for undergraduates in en-gineering and computing (and other STEM fields). Not only will argumentation help engineeringstudents master concepts, it will also better prepare them for their professional careers where theycan expect to engage in vigorous arguments about trade-offs in various approaches to addressingproblems in their design/implementation projects.Prior research has shown that some key requirements must be met to ensure that argumentationis most productive: The argumentation must be in small groups of 4–5 students each; each groupmust include students with different approaches to the topic; and the

As described in our earlierwork,2 its motivation is to attract young students of the United States to careers in engineering,math, and science in order to mitigate projected national shortfalls in the future. This leads tomore specific goals, which are that each contestant should: • Learn about engineering through a realistic, hands-on problem-solving experience. • Learn about the engineering design process—the application

In order to get better involved in American student life and to prepare for theengineering career market of the future, improving these students’ English clearly seems acritical subject for the Chinese student in the U.S.Learning vocabulary is the most foundational block and first step in learning English as a secondlanguage, since no language acquisition and application can take place without the accumulationof vocabulary 26.

The motivations for developingfully online or blended courses are many. Some of the motivating factors are tied to the learners’needs while others are linked to organizational and social factors1.Addressing Learner Needs. A first need that online and blended instructional formats address isan extended access. The traditional student life does not work for all those seeking to learn. The“non-traditional student” includes older students wishing to resume an abandoned college career,employed people wishing to continue an education, students with family commitments

As such, the emphasis of ENG 694 involved using the controller with smallrobotic vehicles, but in contrast with the freshman course, students were given a standardizedpre-built robot rather than being required to construct one.
