Research ProcedureThe research reported in this paper was conducted during the last two weeks (Weeks 3 and 4) ofthe workshop when the participants designed and prototyped their robots for the assigned projects.For the project sessions, the participants were grouped into nine teams, with each team comprisingof approximately two teachers and four students. The nine teams were assigned to two classroomsby a lottery, with one classroom housing four teams and another housing five teams. One of thesetwo classrooms was randomly selected as the treatment group, which included four teams. Theremaining five

Due to other commitments including work and courseschedules, some of the students were unable to attend all the PDW sessions. In particular, thePDW had a time conflict with one other senior level CM course. One significant challenge wastrying to find a scheduled time that was most convenient to all interested students.

CEES maintains a science-based approach to engineering education, where students receive a grounding in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering science before embarking on sub-specializations of civil engineering. Through this course sequencing, the students do have an ability in (at least) four areas. 2. Experiments - Level 3. Besides general chemistry and physics labs, six required courses have formal laboratory/field components.
