University (ECU),freshmen are introduced to engineering topics that include solid modeling, mechanicalengineering, electrical engineering, and design engineering. Robots inherently integrate all thesedisciplines. At ECU, student teams are used in a cohort learning environment to build robots.The robot building project serves as a platform for experiential learning in engineeringdisciplines and also serves to develop problem solving skills, interpersonal skills, and ethics. Arobotics competition is embedded into the introductory class work to increase levels ofparticipation, interest and challenge for the freshmen. During classroom and laboratory exercisesleading up to the competition, students build mobile robots to compete in a treasure-huntinggame

In Industrial Engineering (IE)teachings, where a variety of tools are used to design, improve, and manage integrated systems,simulation-based approaches become an important piece in the learning environment.There are a number of publications in literature that analyze the impact of simulation-basedteaching environments. A vast majority supports the experiential learning theory proposed byKolb [2].

freshman engineering course, called “Exploring Engineering,” was created in 1992.The primary goals of the course were to introduce the students to engineering, to help them tochoose a major, and to develop basic computer literacy. The course consisted of two largelectures (attended by every student in the class) and one computer lab (in sections of 20 studentseach) every week. Three of the lectures were devoted to each of our four majors: civil,computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Other topics of importance to our studentswere interspersed between the lectures. These included study skills, time management, graphing,statistics, ethics, and engineering careers. Engineering alumni frequently spoke about theircareers and provided valuable

Reports by the National Science and Technology Council1 and theCommission for Advancement of Women and Minorities in Science, Engineering andTechnology 2 identify the societal perils of continued disparate representation across engineeringand the STEM fields. Continued underrepresentation has dire implications for the future of thetechnical workforce as the demand for qualified professionals will outpace the available pool ifthe demographics do not change3. The additional human cost for unequal access that ischaracterized by underrepresentation makes the issue compelling and critical for society and theSTEM fields in particular.
