high school. In the caseof the former population, our robotics camp research shows that boys need “confirmation” tocontinue strongly in engineering, whereas girls need “confirmation” after “affirmation” and“visualization.” Based on the above finding, we believe that the approaches to encourage middleschool boys to proceed towards STEM careers and the approaches to encourage middle schoolgirls to proceed towards STEM careers must have some similar elements and yet be necessarilydifferent.A study that shows the difference between boys and girls was done very early in ourcollaborative project. Collin College asked questions of Allen ISD students that were judged tobe “good” in 7th and 8th grade math by test scores and teachers. The simple study

For compositions of PBL, the classroom roles shift from teacher focused tostudent-centered learning models that more self-directed [20]. In both cases, studies have shownthat PBL has led to improved student performance, higher quality of peer interactions, and morepositive student attitudes [6].Many researchers such as Snyman and Kroon [21], Barragán et al. [22], Mativo et al. [17] andBalkos et al. [4] have found that a more broadly scoped “comprehensive” projects can provide aninnovative mechanism for learning. Most projects in PBL typically require students to analyze aproblem, evaluate design alternatives and apply a collective team knowledge to arrive

detailed study of real options analysis is not appropriate for an undergraduate Page 14.1008.8course. Real options requires an understanding of sensitivity analysis and decision trees, andthese should be taught at the undergraduate level; however, options analysis should probably belimited to making the student aware of its existence. We believe that real options does have arole to play in advanced graduate courses. While the use of options analysis remainscontroversial, it is a subject that the advanced engineering economics student should understand.If engineers are to take part in the debate, then we must first understand the methodology and

Also, students will learn to worktogether as a team which can be a valuable lesson for them as they graduate and join the engineering workforce. The remainder of this paper is organized in the following way. We start in section II with a briefdescription of the robot’s environment--the maze. In section III, we present the motion control module of therobot which uses a pulse-width modulation scheme to move the robot forward, backward, and turning.Section III describes how an IR system is implemented to detect walls of the maze, followed by a descriptionon the “brain” part of the robot in section V.

In order to graduate engineers with such skills,instruction must take all aspects of learning into consideration1,2,3. Consequently, instructors facechallenges such as  How to engage students in deep learning?  How to strengthen the link between theory and practice?

For example, a group at Purdue Universityevaluated the use of computer-simulation experiments in a senior-level chemical engineeringcourse.1 They found that the computer-simulated experiments led to better learning for somestudents, while others got more out of a traditional lab experiment.

K-12education remains in the forefront of today’s society. Even with years of inclusion, engineeringremains an enigma to many pre-college students. The 2008 National Academy of Engineering’sreport, Changing the Conversation, stated the case that many Americans do not truly understandwhat engineering is.11 Even with hundreds of millions of dollars annually spent on increasingunderstanding of engineering, efforts to promote engineering have been numerous and wide-spread yet there has been minimal impact.3,12 K-12 students can readily identify with writers,doctors, scientists, and other careers from their exposure to these fields yet struggle withengineering.
