In our work, we apply the CARE methodology in studying apopulation of 42 students enrolled in the introductory ECE course, ENGR 40M: An Intro toMaking: What is EE, offered at our educational institution, Stanford University. This course waschosen for this study as it emphasizes the importance of integrating theoretical and laboratoryexposure to introductory ECE concepts via immersive project-based learning opportunities.Our main contributions begin with the development of the CARE methodology, its application

Students tend to come into theclass from different disciplines with strong backgrounds in one of computing, electronics ormechanisms but may be quite ignorant of the other disciplines. At BYU we have chosen to usethe development of an autonomous miniature robot as the medium for teaching this diverse field.Students are strongly motivated by the experience of building a working unit and thus rapidlylearn those sub-disciplines in which they are lacking.

advancements come at the right time: the amounts of knowledgeexpected at the baccalaureate and master’s levels show drastic increase. The system ofengineering education is especially vulnerable to the effects of Internet, global communicationsystems, computers, etc. However, there is one area in engineering education that is stilldominated by classical teaching/learning methodology: the laboratory. This could be easilyexplained: the purpose of an engineering laboratory course is to teach future engineers to interactwith the “real hardware” in all its imperfection. Any attempt to replace the “real hardware” in astudent laboratory with the most elaborate simulation software can result in the loss of realismand prevents students from gaining important

Although students in entry-level mechanicalengineering courses have been through the Calculus and Physics sequence, they are oftenunprepared for the “new thinking” required to solve engineering analysis problems.
