Modeling, and model-based reasoning is central to professionalengineering work and is similarly essential in the teaching and learning of underlying science,technology, and mathematical concepts. However, students’ ability to effectively use modelswithout proper instructional support is limited. Dam construction is an example of an importantactivity for civil engineers and

As of the fall semester of 2011, the program is the seventh largestdiscipline at WPI in terms of undergraduate enrollment. At the core of the curriculum are foursignature courses called Unified Robotics I-IV. The goal of these courses is to introduce studentsto the multidisciplinary theory and practice of robotics engineering, integrating the fields ofcomputer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. The sophomore levelcourses, RBE 2001 and RBE 2002, introduce students to the foundational concepts of roboticssuch as kinematics, pneumatics, circuits, electric motors, sensors, signal processing andembedded system
