The creation of the Robotics Academy was motivated by the desire to help juniorsand seniors develop personal and interpersonal skills, which are essential for successfulprofessional careers. To this end, we want to answer three main questions: First, doessolving a “real world problem” help motivate students learning? Second, does engagingin an interdisciplinary, student-led project allow students to develop personal andinterpersonal skills more effectively than traditional coursework? Third, what are theimpacts of participation in the Robotics Academy? These

escalate student engagementwith course content. As shown by B. Shneiderman a conceptual framework fortechnology-based learning and teaching has emerged as an engagement theory. 4 Thefundamental idea underlying engagement theory is that students must be meaningfullyengaged in learning activities through interaction with others and worthwhile tasks.While in principle, such engagement could occur without the use of technology, thetechnology can facilitate engagement in ways which are difficult to achieve otherwise.Thermodynamics together with other thermal-fluid sciences (thermodynamics, fluidmechanics, and heat transfer) are typically considered to be among the most difficulttopics taught in engineering curriculum.5 The Learning Tool described below

designs.There are some similarities between design and communication that suggest they are naturalpartners in the curriculum. They are two of the most difficult aspects of the engineeringprofession for students (indeed, practitioners) to master. Both are inherently open ended, andrequire an iterative approach where ideas are generated, then refined, eventually approaching afinished product (in other words, a sequence of divergent and convergent thought processes).Furthermore, the real-world need to use language to represent final designs through written andoral reports14 presents a strong reason to partner the subjects. However, beyond therepresentational purpose of language (writing about designs), there are additional reasons to teachcommunication

integration to develop hybrid algorithms. Theparadigms covered are artificial neural networks (ANNs), evolutionary computing (EC), swarmintelligence (SI) and fuzzy systems (FS). While individual CI paradigms have been appliedsuccessfully to solve real-world problems, the current trend is to develop hybrids of paradigms,since no one paradigm is superior to the others in all situations. In doing so, we are ablecapitalize on the respective strengths of the components of the hybrid CI system and eliminateweakness of individual components. This course is an introductory level course and will leadstudents to courses focused in depth in a particular paradigm (ANNs, EC, FS, SI). The idea of anintegrated course like this is to expose students to different CI

Instead, Ohland advocated an approach to educational pedagogyguided by the mantra, “because dreams need doing.” He stressed that dispeling the notion that“engineering is hard” by pointing out to students that being good at anything requires hard work.He noted that an effective way to bring this point home is through the use of sports analogies, asthere will usually be some athletes in the classroom who can relate to the idea that hard workleads to success. Did they compete without practicing? Probably not. And so it is with theengineering curriculum. The

The human machine is composed of multiple single systemsthat operate together to give multiple capabilities to the human body, such as cognition,communication, movement, and evolution. In engineering, single or traditional systems that formpart of an SoS are made to be a piece of a solution to solve a multilevel necessity. These singlesystems are designed and developed based on a well-structured problem with fixed boundaries[3] ; therefore, they emerge with a clear, capable, implicit, and limited set of goals.

A key feature in common among recentformulations of system thinking is an emphasis on identifying major system elements andidentifying the relationships between those elements.
