Analysis of Team Learning Experiences and Educational Outcomes in Robotics David J. Ahlgren1/Igor M. Verner2 Trinity College/Technion—Israel Institute of TechnologyAbstractThis paper argues that educational research, which assesses learning and instruction inintroductory robotics courses, is essential to the evaluation, improvement, anddissemination of robotics programs. The authors consider their experiences in teachingrobotics as an introductory engineering subject at Trinity College in the United States,and as a graduation project course at the Mevohot E’ron High School in Israel. Bothprograms focus on team-based design of fire-fighting mobile robots to compete in theTrinity College Fire

their own international activities.Ø More engineers must act as public intellectuals, drawing upon broad-based skills and experiences to provide articulate leadership in the modern world.Ø While graduate education in engineering in the US still is the best in the world measured by its attractiveness to students and faculty, it falls short from a US perspective in two respects. We Americans want and need more applicability and social progress. Our popularity abroad should not blind us to the shortcomings we, as insiders, can discern (Digest 26 January 2001).Ø Effective quality assurance systems are needed for all engineering education programs
improvements and best practices for future implementation.IntroductionIn the field of global engineering education, there is an essential question: How can engineeringstudents’ global leadership skills be most effectively cultivated through co-curricular programs?Curricular and co-curricular global engineering opportunities such as a study, research, orinternship experience abroad are high impact practices, well-documented for providing enrichingexperiences to complement the academic curriculum.

Most of the time, the problems are abstracted or simplified so that students canuse the knowledge learned from their discipline to solve them. We noticed significant gaps betweendisciplines as we pulled students from multiple disciplines to work on an international robotics competition.The competition requires students to solve more complex problems, but a lot of knowledge essential foreffective communication between engineers from different disciplines is missing. Many studentsmisunderstand how other fields work and what students from other disciplines expect them to do. The course has a common theme of developing a submarine robot to complete a series

to contributemeaningfully to a dynamic and interconnected world [10].Closely related, futures studies as an academic field moves beyond conventional planning toolslike forecasting and risk assessment. It embraces uncertainty and explores multiple plausiblefutures to spark imagination and address complex challenges [13, 14]. As James Dator famouslystated, “The future cannot be predicted because the future does not exist” [15].In engineering education, the use of futures literacy has primarily focused on planning and riskmanagement. While these approaches are valuable, they tend to constrain the broader,exploratory potential of futures thinking. Relying on past data and predictive accuracy canoverlook transformative shifts and obscure less

merits of game-based learning (GBL) include supporting effective learning [11], enhancinghigher order thinking [12], increasing problem-solving skills, and promoting engagement [13].There are many arguments in favor of the use of games in education. Games are a veryimportant learning tool. Playing develops capabilities and aptitude that contribute to theformation of personality. The game is a way of learning because of the increase of motivation.Different games have been demonstrated to motivate students to learn. The use of games foreducational purposes is an important aspect that can improve the learning process.Recently many of our computer engineering students have shown interest in game design andchoosing to design serious games for their
design is an interdisciplinary field of great breadth. It is core to all engineering disciplines. Exposure of students to design from a broad perspective and contact with practicing designers enhances their understanding of the importance of cross-discipline integration11.
