This paper outlines the proposed work and the materials developed tosupport the implementation of the project in Fall 2015.IntroductionComputer programming is a common mandatory course taught in the first year of engineeringand computer science programs. These types of courses typically utilize a common programminglanguage (MATLAB, C, Java) to teach students about syntax, programming techniques, andintroduce students to applied problem solving1-4. Learning a computer programming languagehas been known to be difficult for high-school and university students because of the lack of timefor practice5, in addition to the conceptual complexity of the topic and logical reasoningprocesses required for understanding.

. Graduate student-led teaching efforts have been implemented in engineering disciplines[4]. Many works advance the premise that more strategic development of graduate studentinstruction skills is beneficial for the future engineering professorate. The majority of studentpeer teaching efforts have been conducted in laboratory [5, 6] or workshop settings [4]. Resultsindicate that peer tutoring has the benefit of enhancing content mastery for both the studentsharing information as well as the student receiving information [5, 7]. For the student teacher,practice delivering content in instructional sessions is important for quality and improvement [4].Further, many students have lower inhibitions asking questions of other students than of theinstructor

Integration of Experiential Learning Modules in Sophomore and Junior Courses: A Pilot StudyAbstract Evidence from past literature suggests that experiential learning activities can be highlybeneficial to undergraduate engineering students when introduced early in their undergraduatestudies. Learning modules based on experiential learning model have been developed andintegrated into two core undergraduate courses (one sophomore and one junior) of mechanicalengineering. Using the experiential learning model of Kolb, each learning module containsconcrete engineering experience, theory, computer-based modeling and simulations, and hands-on laboratory exercises. The main goal is to provide experiential
