According toUS News and World Reports, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is ranked as one of the topundergraduate engineering universities in the country. The electric circuits course is asophomore level course for non-majors that covers concepts related to DC and AC circuits. Thiscourse was offered online for two subsequent years during the summer session. The motivationwas to allow students who desired to get ahead or stay on schedule in their curriculum to do sowhile on internships, co-ops, or research experiences. It was vital that the teaching andengagement standards were not compromised in the transition to online. This institute has asmall

The demand for the course was actually much higher but the authorsdetermined that limiting the enrollment for the pilot course was appropriate. The students werefrom 4 different majors: computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, andmathematics. The students were also at various academic levels: sophomore, junior, and senior.The strategy for teaching this course was to base the course upon a single IoT project. Whilestudents focused on the project, the faculty focused primarily on managing student learning. Thecourse followed a student-learning curriculum framework rather than the more common course-content curriculum framework. A just-in-time strategy was

Due to the broad range of content in this field aswell as the dearth of textbooks and standardized curricula, it is sometimes difficult to design acourse appropriate for a diverse audience2.Murphy et al. states that the course objectives in an HRI course should include a definition ofHRI, modes of interaction, key issues in HRI, current applications, and social robotics. Inaddition, projects such as search and rescue would be engaging to students because they alsorepresent a benefit to society. This course should include a high level of interaction between thestudents, faculty as well as the robots. This would require team assignments as well as hands onlabs, projects, and discussions.

The basic idea behind our approachis to motivate student learning using a concrete engineering application in the form of a hands-on, microcontroller-based team project with an end-of-semester competition.Other engineering programs have also introduced microcontroller-based
