The responses showed the students were motivated to learn many new topics andalso produced an increased interest in ECE. It was very encouraging that the results were nearlyunanimously positive for the survey statements involving the students’ self-perceptions that thecourse increased their learning from the robot-focused projects and increased their understandingof ECE. A net gain in students with CoE and ECE majors at the conclusion of the course werealso very encouraging results.

Within each course, the level of completion of the course project is an assessmentinstrument to evaluate the achievement of outcomes.Because the courses are housed in a location that supports teaching, meeting, and manufacturing,the barriers to entry for new courses are dramatically reduced. As such it is much easier to infusedesign throughout the curriculum (beyond cornerstone and capstone experiences) when a facilityis readily available for students and faculty to work in. The infrastructure is not limited to aworksite and access to the tools and equipment, but rather extends to include the availability oftraining resources and staff support for the residential design courses.

Another significant problem is thereluctance of senior faculty to learn the software well enough to achieve the necessary comfortlevel to develop new assignments for their courses which incorporate FEA. Software familiarityis also an issue for part-time faculty, who may be assigned courses just before the semester starts.Clearly another difficulty is the inclusion of a new topic or solution method in courses whichalready
