In a nutshell, one of the most appropriate teaching and learning methods forstudents’ all-round development is group project-based learning.

The team(s) meet once a week to assign responsibilities and report on theirprogress during the previous week. These team meetings are organized and run by theRobotics Academy graduate student coordinator. The role of the graduate studentcoordinator is to help answer basic questions, coordinate meetings, and keep track of thematerial procurement and budget related tasks. The graduate student coordinator alsomakes sure that the team keeps on schedule to hit major deadlines, but the team membersthemselves handle most time management.

Presenter opinions were considered very important in theoverall assessment of course success. A form similar to the form used for student evaluations was given to thepresenters. Again, answers were given on a scale of 0 to 5 (where "0" means "Not Applicable" and "5" means"Exceptionally Well"). If a presenter felt that s/he could not answer a question

ASEE Conference Session 1410 V. Lessons Learned, Conclusion and Next StepsIt has been a challenge to help some students to value this real-life application. Studentshave been immersed in a traditional educational system focused more on ‘grades’ andless on ‘learning.’ Because this course utilizes authentic project(s) and hands-onapplication rather than lower level thinking skills, some students have a hard timeadjusting. During the first semester, we learned that college bound students wanted tospend more time in the career/postsecondary comparison section of the course, whileothers found less value in this area. Consequently, we differentiated instruction

Themotivation for selecting IP for delivering SBES courses was driven by several factors: cost andthe ability to move towards future technology. The initial courses for the SBES were deliveredin fall 2002 using ISDN. The technical team carefully reviewed the protocol options fordelivering future SBES classes. Because of the increasing cost of delivering classes using ISDNand the trend of service providers focusing more on supporting IP, the SBES directors supportedthe technical team’s decision to move to IP.

Providing resources to teachersthat can be integrated into the classroom will not only encourage and help students toprepare for engineering degrees but inform teachers about engineering so that they aremore comfortable discussing engineering with students and parents.Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)In the 1970’s the Texas Legislature mandated that Texas K-12 education institutionsmeasure student knowledge and skills in reading, mathematics and writing. At firststudents were assessed on minimum basic skills in reading, mathematics, and writing, butin 1990 the focus changed from minimum to academic skills.
