The common theme of both of these programs is that they are focused onthe creation of a technologically advanced robot and framed into a fun competition that engagespupils.

DeterminismThe work of engineers fuels technological determinism, so it is not surprising that much of theattention in innovation in engineering education from the 1950’s until the present has beendriven, if not determined, by available educational technology that could be applied. From theearly use of visualisation aides, to audio-visual devices (film, audio cassettes, early video), fromcomputer assisted instruction through to the use of the Internet, or from CDs to multi-media andmobile computing, it seems that it is the technology with "enormous potential" looking for aneducational problem to satisfy. In the current context of the undergraduate reforms, informationtechnologies are seen as being able to support the "a key enabler aiding institutions

A limitation of the reported results is that actualimprovement in time management skill was not measured; rather, the students’ perception ofimprovement was measured. Further study with measures of actual time management skills iswarranted. Further, longitudinal study regarding the persistence of time management skillacquired could elucidate important relationships about transfer of this necessary life skill to othercontexts.

pedagogical approach, CE most strongly is connected to service-learning (S-L). ThoughFurco (2003) stated that at least two hundred different definitions of service-learning have beenpublished, the distinguishing factor of between S-L and community-service is that S-L isintentionally designed to meet learning (often academic) objectives. Other components commonin service-learning definitions include 1) the need for student reflection on the value of the effort,2) the connection and integration of the effort with the community, and 3) the attainment byparticipants of the desirable outcome of civic or social responsibility.The benefits of CE projects are well documented in the literature13, 27.

Also noteworthy is that Isabel took the opportunity to broach a subject that wasbecoming contentious – who was project manager – perhaps bringing it up in front of an adultfor a measure of safety in addressing a relational difficulty.As to how the feedback they received during the first design critique session shaped this group’ssocial interaction, findings indicate a decrease in students’ focus on social-relational issues asmembers became more task-focused after receiving negative feedback.
