The course is designed toemploy discovery-based learning in a multidisciplinary environment using robots. A current,high-profile, engineering problem, DARPA Urban Challenge, was selected to motivate students.The challenge was modified to fit the LEGO Mindstorms robotic environment available for thecourse. A configurable route consisting of modular route segments was developed. Ourassessment metrics show exceeding of the learning
