offering ofeSMART in Spring 2020, ninety-four students across multiple academic programs registered andcompeted.Another goal of the eSMART is to engage the large number of freshman engineers on theGalveston campus. With this in mind, all teams must use the Lego EV3 controller and Pythonprogramming to control their vehicle. Because our freshmen students take a Python programmingcourse in their first semester, this allows them to participate and use their newfound knowledge tosupport the team. The Lego control brick and motors were the only forms of propulsion control &power allowed for their sea-going design, not a standard choice given that these modules are notwaterproof and seaworthy.This paper describes the competition in detail, including

Copyright © 2022, American Society for Engineering Education 5A question that the curious students will naturally ask is “what exactly is a fractal?” It is a complex,never-ending pattern. It possesses two intriguing features: self-similarity and non-integer dimension. Itexhibits mind-boggling, perplexing properties: infinite perimeter but finite area. This mathematicalmystery will capture students’ imagination, and will naturally set the stage for their curious brains to bemore receptive for learning, and as they learn they enjoy the sensation of learning.As an illustrative example, the Koch snowflake is built iteratively, in a sequence of stages. It starts withan equilateral triangle

This required participants to be able to keep up with the pilot's material while alsoworking on their own classes, as the pilot occurred during the academic school year. With thisconstraint in mind, it was determined that the best candidates would be students who could handlethe rigor, as evidenced by their performance in the ENGR OLD course they had taken.
