Qualitative analysis of student evaluationsand project reports revealed that the approach effectively reinforced theoretical concepts,fostered critical thinking, and promoted self-directed learning. Challenges identified includedtime management and balancing project demands with new material. Recommendations forimprovement include earlier project introduction and structured lab-based assignments.

CprE 182X wasdesigned with special emphasis on the supporting laboratory experiments and interactive activities.The instructional approach focused on introducing cooperative learning strategies and teamingconcepts in the context of hands-on laboratory experiments. Students designed, implemented andtested computer based projects in an interactive, team oriented approach.CprE 182X met once a week for 2 hours and we spent most of the time working with the robotsand providing support for the other courses the students were taking. Most of the sessionsrevolved around building and programming the robots, however every class started with anopening go round and ended with a closing go round. The two go rounds allowed

We have utilizedthese experiments as such, but the negative aspect of these experiments’ code is they have notutilized standard C, and furthermore they were not designed using Structured ProgramingMethodology. In this class we utilized the skill set of the prerequisite class, where students learnand mastered C++ code design, strictly following Structured Programing Methodology. Thus ourstudents have designed the code using standard C and following the principles of StructuredPrograming Methodology.

However, all researchers have no doubtexperienced the garbage-in, garbage-out phenomenon at one time or another. In detectingpotentially faulty results, experienced engineering researchers often rely on their intuition andtechnical judgement. Consequently, it is important to instill in students a respect for theimportance of this engineering judgement and to help them to develop their own intuition. Whiledeveloping this type of intuition typically requires years of experience, there are some
