Forty high-ranked electrical engineering schools were surveyed 1. Two-thirds of thoseprograms with undergraduate robotics-centric programs use commercially-available robotics kits.This approach permits a carefully-organized modularized method of teaching that prevents less-skilled students from lagging behind. It is possible to find kits with a variety of interesting sensorsthat can spark the imagination, and little supervision is required while building the kit. Becausethe mechanical engineering problems have been pre-solved, this approach also allowsconcentration on

processes that engineering is capable of bringing to the table. Thisis one of the most important initial messages that is a part of teaching engineering education forthe K-12 classroom.As an example, the use of a kit that allows students to assemble a pre-designed heart rate monitormay not impact critical thinking [14]. An activity that uses the monitor in the course of takingmeasurements is more of a pure science or mathematics activity than engineering. In fact, anypurely procedural activity runs the risk of losing its connection to engineering if it lacks problemsolving or design. This does not mean that the activity is somehow lesser, but it does mean that itdoesn’t meet learning objectives for engineering.This type of message is an example of

goals that primarily drive engineering education [1, 2] are 1) improving student-learning experience and 2) preparing the students for a successful future career. Recent researchon effective engineering education [1, 2] suggests multiple approaches for student success in theclassroom and beyond. These learning approaches focus on the engagement of students in theclassroom and outside by creating a teachable moment using inductive learning [3, 4, 5], activelearning via in-class activities [6, 7], experiential learning [8, 9, 10], visual learning [2, 11], andproject-based learning [12, 13], to name a few.
