Studentsare assigned mentors with backgrounds, skillsand experiences appropriate to the problemthey are trying to solve. These mentors bringpractical experience of what is likely to work;they offer guidance in design options, andmaterials choices. Assistance ranges fromproviding subassemblies to complete adesign, creating 3D drawings, and partfabrication. They have proved to be aninvaluable resource

I like to learn about the habits of others. I like finding out why people behave the way they do. When other people are having a conversation, I like to find out what it's about. When around other people, I like listening to their conversation. When people quarrel, I like to know what's going on. The anxiety of doing something new makes me feel excited and alive. Risk-taking is exciting to me. When I have free time, I want to do things that are a little scary. Creating an adventure as I go is much more appealing than a planned adventure.

The course director would release a list of all engineering students who earned a C- or lower on the first exam to the Engineering Advising Center within two days of the exam being taken.2. The directors of the Engineering Advising Center and Engineering Learning Resource Center would contact all students on the list and require them to attend a group advising session the following week. The group advising session would be used to present data to the students about the importance of doing well in calculus, give advice about the likelihood of success in calculus if students remain in the

The tone of themessaging was especially important for several reasons: the course was not included in anyengineering degree planning flowcharts, was not a required course for any engineering major,and required that students take Engineering Math in addition to Pre-Calculus their first semester.1 Of note, 10 years ago, CU Boulder’s engineering college did not offer a Pre-Calculus course.

The transition to student autonomy may haveoccurred too rapidly for these students.Most students seemed to better understand why the PI learning experience was designed as itwas by mid-semester, suggesting that some of the initial faculty concerns about studentconfusion may have been exaggerated. The time and pace required for this transition will be anobvious area of research moving forward.Nevertheless, it became clear that a full four year curriculum design was needed to help studentsconceptualize how they would move through the program and how their current work would tieto long-term academic and professional goals

Also, a survey will be conducted during the next offering of thecourse in order to rate the topics that are covered, perhaps replacing one of the topics with a topicsuggested by the students should the feedback indicate that.

Thus, many students face challenges stemmingfrom issues faced by all novice programmers, which are described in Natural Language Tutoringand the Novice Programmer6 and the references therein; beyond learning the specific elements ofa given programming language, most of the challenges are related to managing complexity anddeveloping problem solving skills and schemas. Specific challenges include the lack of a “libraryof schemata” (i.e. a collection of structures and concepts) from which to draw problem solutioncomponents; difficulty managing the decomposition, composition, and goal/sub-goal processesinherent in programming; and a tendency to begin coding without adequate (or often any) planning.2 Course DesignOur process of
