Sankar undertook a study to develop teachingmethodologies that could bring real-world issues into engineering classrooms [10]. The results oftheir research led to recommendations to engineering educators on the importance of developinginterdisciplinary technical case studies that facilitate the communication of engineeringinnovations to students in the classroom.Active learning helps students learn by increasing their engagement in the educational process[11], [12]. The group work that often accompanies active learning instruction helps studentsdevelop their soft skills [13]. Some instructors believe that the project activities inherent in real-world software development encourage students to improve their written and oralcommunication skills

theimpact of self-guided final projects. Farah et al. [9] similarly address the needs of non-STEMmajors by presenting work developing computational thinking via a single web application. Thisapproach requires no software installation and minimizes the challenges of working withmultiple applications including integrated design environments, digital education platforms, andfile system management.This paper presents a course building upon student competency in computational thinkingacquired during prerequisite work. These students expand their learning and expertise tointegrate various applications and technology stacks through robotics. Developing the ability tointegrate contributes to both student satisfaction and professional competency.Robot
