experiences with the robots to understand concepts covered in theircurrent Computer Engineering courses.Proposed versus Actual Role of RobotsThe Rug Warrior Pro was intended to be a tool for teaching problem solving, Cprogramming and cooperative learning. Since we were in the first year of the LearningCommunity, designing lab exercises and design challenges was only a small part of ourtask.We needed to determine how to use the robots in such a way that the technology tool didnot become the focus of student learning, but remained a tool, just as pencils andcomputers are tools. We determined that slowly introducing the robots was the bestapproach.Bloom’s Taxonomy categorizes the levels of abstraction of questions that commonlyoccur in educational

We discuss some advantages anddisadvantages of using mobile robots from our experience and share feedback from ourstudents on how they perceived the use of mobile robots.2 Course ObjectivesThe Advanced Artificial Intelligence class is a graduate course in artificial intelligenceoffered in the Fall of each year at Vanderbilt University. The course assumes that thestudents have taken an introductory AI course, or are familiar with the area. There are twomain objectives of the course. First, the course serves as a followup to the introductory AIcourse, providing a survey of more advanced topics in AI. Second, the course is intended tointroduce students to performing research in AI. As such, our goal is to

recommend continuing use of learningcommunities in the future. The method for forming communities depends on whether the courseis first or later in the department sequence, and may also vary for flipped versus lecture-basedcourses. We recommend using software like CATME [10] for first courses and flipped courses,while we recommend using seating preferences in later courses and lecture-based courses.Reforming communities mid-semester depends on the need for getting to know more peers andon the type of course: flipped or lecture-based.References[1] M.

engineering curricula reveals that the use of sketchingin the design process is vanishing. Students and instructors alike are drawn towards the latesttechnological instruments for mechanical design. The enthusiastic adoption of CAD software inengineering education left skills like pencil sketching, mechanical drawing and lettering back inthe last century. This is unfortunate because a preponderance of research literature on sketchingreports that the intentional use of sketching improves the mechanical engineering designprocess.[2] There is also a renewed appreciation of the link between sketching and creativity. Thisis put succinctly by McCormick writing in the ASME monthly, Mechanical Engineering.“Sketching is the tool for innovation, and is so
