These new sections would use therobotics competition at the 2015 ASEE Annual Conference to set the curriculum and providemotivation for the students to learn. Each section was challenged at the beginning of thesemester with creating a robot that could compete in the ASEE Robot Competition and duringthe course of the semester background knowledge needed to complete the project was providedin hands-on focused lab exercises. This paper describes the curriculum of this course, learningobjectives, and how a mentoring structure was established with ECE robotics-based
