Florida Power & Light (FPL)identified the first TRUE project carried out during the Fall 2016 – Spring 2017. During theFall 2018-Spring 2019, a problem was identified using industry consultation, and a designcompetition was initiated. Three capstone teams participated in the design competition toproduce different products following System Engineering (SE) methodologies for the same“engineering design challenge”: to address the automation of ground maintenance service inlarge solar farms.

We then asked them to take aquick survey on the focus of the CS2 course that they were involved in (focus area meant that atleast 60% of the course was spent on that area). We had identified 3 versions of CS2: one whichtaught students to use existing data structures from libraries (Application-focused CS2), one

financial burdens. Second, the work can remain a livingdocument, which will create less friction as the course is updated over the years.Finally, to serve the stated course goals even better, the author wants to update the class model toone of ungrading [13, 14], specifically standards-based grading [15]. As the top goal is forstudents to fully engage with the laboratory work and to become independent makers, givingthem multiple chances to make a functional product, along with formative feedback to push themtoward mastery, makes a lot of sense. The current class structure is already amenable to thisapproach, so it will be the next experiment that is attempted.References [1] James W Bales, “A project-based introduction to electronics,” in 2011 ASEE
