Over half planned to join a student engineeringorganization. Interestingly, 42% did not feel they knew what an engineer does and 62%tend to procrastinate, putting off the things they need to do.Overall students gave very positive feedback to the DEE program and to the teachingassistants.

, which is authentic reflection on the process. Some of the groups that we looked atdid very thoughtfully reflect on points such as how this assignment and course altered theirperceptions of engineering practice, and how their team carried out the design process to accountfor CSR. However, most team reflections were superficial and vague, at best, a result we havealso seen in past work incorporating reflection into engineering courses [12]. We plan to providebetter guidance to the students moving forward on what high-quality reflections look like. Wealso will work to weave CSR more completely throughout the semester. A few students observedon the end-of-semester course evaluations that it was a focus at the beginning and end of thecourse, but was

Thisinformation was then utilized to develop PowerPoints presentations.A cohesive “workshop” plan was developed for each session, which then went through athorough review process. Each workshop consisted of an introduction, brief discussion ofhomework results, a mini-lecture covering the main topic for that session, then one or twofacilitated activities (ie. breakout discussions, think-pair-share, active learning activities), andconcluded with a report back from group work or a

In the first step, thestudent reads the problem statement and identifies the objective. This step depends of thestudents’ ability to determine the structure of the problem and identify the concepts and formulasnecessary to solve it. During the second step, students must develop a path to reach the solution.The Execution step is where the student carries out

the machine would be tested and a video recorded.Although a Build Day was specified, student teams were encouraged to work with the adjacentteams prior to that so that they could test and modify their segments.As the Build Day approached, we decided to require a few test runs, for several reasons: - Although student teams were strongly encouraged to build and test, it was evident they were not doing this. Requiring a test run meant that students would have to build and test their designs prior to the official run day, giving them extra time to make changes to their design, if needed. - We were interested in documenting this project and planned on recording the machine in action during the official run day

and how project-based learning (PBL)takes the center stage in this strategy. We assert that building a camp or even a lesson plan fromlearning blocks creates a totally immersive and engaging environment for the learner and makes itmuch more plug-and-play for the designer/instructor.Our paper will also focus on implementing these learning blocks in a K-12 mixed environment (allgrade levels, male and female participants) versus a much more homogenous cohort (all highschool, all female) type of camp. A showcase of student products (from reflective pieces to actualcreations) will be discussed along with how “check-ins” are built into the learning blockchallenges; the latter as a means to embed assessment into the project workflows dynamically

more complex AI, such as neural networks, can be trained.After completing that activity, the students were introduced to the final project: building an AIfor an autonomous Mars rover. The concept was first shown to them as a game, where theywere challenged to get the highest score possible. This required planning ahead to find the bestpath and learning how the rover operates. These activities drew on many areas of CT, includingmodeling and simulation, abstraction, and data representation. On the fourth day, the rover was re-introduced as a game, but this time the rover couldonly see the squares immediately adjacent to it. This required students to “sense” theirsurroundings and act based on limited information, just as the rover would
