Knowledgeand interest surveys at the beginning and end of the semester and before and after each modulewere used to assess changes in knowledge and attitudes. Two modules focusing on the GrandChallenges, “Make Solar Energy Economical” and “Reverse Engineer the Brain,” weredeveloped and used in one section of an introduction to engineering freshman course in Fall2015. Other sections of the course did not utilize the modules and served as control groups.Demographic data and other identifiers enabled the matching of individual surveys

For a subset of teacher-identified topics, the project team and teachers collaboratively developed robotics-based teachingand learning strategies, hands-on activities, and corresponding assessment material. All lessonswere planned to meet the state standards for middle school science and math, based on the NextGeneration Science Standards (NGSS)32 and the Common Core State Standards for Math(CCSSM).33 Throughout the lesson development and implementation, project personnel andteachers employed a design-based research (DBR) approach,34 wherein iterative changes improvedthe lessons from the

Among theconsequences of this delay are lost interest, frustration, and student withdrawal from themajor or even the college.

Thesituation is even more dire for most computer science schools.Computer science departments typically do not have the support culture for the kind oflaboratories that are more typically associated with engineering programs. On the other hand, itis recognized that computer science students need courses which provide closer to real worldexperiences via representative hands-on exercises. This need is usually addressed in the contextof software, but it also pertains to topics more closely linked to physical hardware, whichcertainly characterizes robotics.What is needed is a robot prototyping system that requires a minimum of support infrastructure,but has the depth and
