Participants receive technical guidance as well astimely instruction on teamwork and project management. We describe how the RobotRacer project and the associated course are structured, detail the resources that arerequired, and present results that suggest that this culminating project is particularlyeffective in preparing our Electrical and Computer Engineering students for engineeringpractice and in giving students confidence in the application of their

As notedabove, the integrated curriculum model described by Hauck and Jackson5 has the potential toprovide tremendous opportunities to engage teaching strategies far beyond the common lectureapproach typically utilized in many single subject courses.

The study by Lattuca, Terenzini & Volkwein (2006) 24 indicatethat the EC2000 was having a positive impact on engineering education, including the teachingof basic science, math, and engineering science skills. However, the study did reveal that post-EC2000 students were experiencing ”somewhat chillier diversity climate” than pre-EC2000students. Notwithstanding, according to ABET (2005) 25, “accreditation criteria do not addressthe cultivation of a diverse learning environment, and its Board of Directors heard very clearlyfrom its constituents that it should not mandate diversity goals as part of its standards.” (p13) Assuch, the imperative to
