diminishing skills in math and many of the sciences. As technology is becomingpervasive in many US classrooms, the skills and knowledge necessary to utilize this technologyis being provided to students. However, there is little effort to build a broad base ofunderstanding and appreciation of engineering principles that lies behind much of our technologytoday. This paper presents a class which was developed to provide an exciting, hands-on methodto explore engineering concepts using LEGO MINDSTORMS. The class was targeted towardthose students who would not normally choose an engineering or technology profession. Theseparticipants learned about engineering in a practical and useful manner using LEGO Robots.This paper will present the class, the modules

On the positive side,respondents most frequently cited that engineering economy has an important/essential place inthe engineering curriculum. In addition, respondents feel satisfied that the body of knowledgehas reached a state of maturity and stability. In contrast, the most frequently cited negativecomment is that the body of knowledge needs expanding and updating. Clearly, thisinconsistency needs to be examined in greater detail. Respondents also feel that availablematerials are inadequate. In future work, the authors would like to examine this concern moreclosely. Although there are a large number of text books on engineering economics, perhaps

most of the students have had no experience with shape memory alloys before. Another contributing factor is the way that the experiment was conducted; the students had to design their own lab procedures. Also the communication of the results in the form of reports and presentations played a major role in making the lab more attractive and a better learning experience.References[1] Moini, Hossein, “Active Materials & Microcontroller Applications in Design ofIntelligent Systems,” 1998 Annual Conference (Seattle: ASEE, June1998).[2] Penrod, Luke, Talley, Diana, Froyd, Jeff, Caso, Rita, Lagoudas, Dimitris, andKohutek, Terry, “Integrating smart materials into a first-year engineering curriculum: Acase study

For this paper, the Colosseum simulation project was tested with two different studentbodies: an undergraduate course and a graduate course, both on the history of ancientengineering [15]. The concept behind these two testing sessions was that it was to be used as ahomework assignment and an evaluation of the use of the program and others like it foreducational purposes, as well as integrating it into the course material proper. Because part of thecourse curriculum material focuses on the greenness and sustainability of ancient monumentsand construction processes, the Colosseum and

It can be used to evaluate aspects such as: How doteachers understand their courses? Which are their beliefs about several aspects of theteaching/learning process? How are students developing the desired creative abilities, whichare very important for the modern engineer?

It was decided by thefaculty that one or two courses are not sufficient to demonstrate the necessary assessment of theprogram outcomes. There were several outcomes, though, which made more sense to beassessed by a laboratory course.

While the homework was an individual effort, theproject required team work. Students were divided into 24 groups with four students in eachgroup.
