develop an engineering mindset. Mentors tookan approach of teaching students by first having them watch or closely assist them before settingthem free to continue the task on their own. Mentors’ goal was to have students doing most ofthe decision making and work. Mentors realized the FRC activity was complex and wanted theirstudents to push their limits but still work within their means in order to produce the bestproduct. “If you take somebody and you try to teach them how to do something, about the fourth iteration they start unlearning it. This is occasionally called “drill and kill.” If you teach somebody how to do something by doing it with them and then you back off and let them do it and then go through a Q/A
AREA 40cm 15cm 15cm RED AREA Figure 3: The working area layout of the projectAs Aristotle19 mentioned, “the kind of questions we ask are as many as the kinds of things whichwe know,” the students deepened their understanding of the problem through these Q&Asessions. And the importance of understanding the problem in a design procedure wasstrengthened during the discussion as well. Then, a more detailed project description was givenas: design a sorting system to satisfy the following requirements: 1. The whole system (except arms/sensors) should be placed in the shaded green area in
generate and solve linearcircuit analysis problems, which accepts a rich variety of student inputs. Three tutorials usingthe software have been implemented. Laboratory based studies show a statistically significantand large (~1.21 standard deviation) increase in student learning as a result. Further work willfocus on expansion and completion of this system.AcknowledgmentThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation through the TransformingUndergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Program underGrant No. DUE-1044497.

The instructormay setup games, competitions, or group activities to challenge the students to solve problems inclass. The instructor is there to help guide the students for immediate feedback to help developthe skills needed to answer questions.The majority of the authors on this paper are experienced in teaching electric circuits. Circuits isa challenging subject matter at its core, so any technique to help educate the students is welcome.A long-term goal of the research is to develop an end-to-end circuits instruction platform thatconcentrates on student outcomes and retention rates, but to reach that

The lecture explains key RL concepts such as agents, states, actions, rewards, and policies. Students learn how reinforcement learning can be applied to robotics, where robots learn to optimize performance through trial and error. Concepts such as Q-learning and exploration vs. exploitation are briefly introduced, with practical examples tied to robotic systems.Since MET students generally have less experience with programming and
