The latter engineering courses arerequired for all of the engineering majors and can be taken as an elective by the computerscience majors. The students are typically rising juniors though we occasionally allow risingseniors and rising sophomores to participate.

The importance of hands-on active learning has longbeen an integral part of education theory. Educational Psychologist Jean Piaget states thatoptimal learning occurs through “active methods” which “require every new truth to berediscovered or at least reconstructed” by the student1.
