Groups actually intermingled and helpedeach other construct new and unique designs. Discussions with members of other teamsoften solved problems and sprouted new ideas.5 ConclusionBy applying directed constructionism to robotics education, we feel we have created alearning experience that has allowed students to develop an improved understanding ofmaterial covered over past approaches. This was accomplished through the integration ofgoal-oriented lab assignments and a traditional lecture-based curriculum. In addition toacquiring an understanding of the

Students with this experience are better prepared toaddress the remainder of their undergraduate curriculum successfully, as well as being equippedto attend graduate school. This paper describes a model developed to engage students inundergraduate research and to deliver the benefits and responsibilities of a small research lab totheir hands.

learnimportant fundamental subjects in a well structured yet open minded and supportiveenvironment.Many high schools offer courses in engineering. Due to a lack of pre-requisite classes, thesecourses are usually introductory in nature and do not offer opportunities for students to studyvector and calculus based engineering mechanics1. The course coverage in GESN is the same asthat offered in a freshman or sophomore university level statics class, making it unique for a highschool curriculum. Exposing high school students to engineering before they apply to a collegeor university is beneficial since the rigorous course load of a university program makes itdifficult to complete an intended major without adding an extra year (or more) to the requiredtime.2
