under preparation for a detailed discussionof these results.7 Summary of Findings to Date and Future WorkIn summary, PLP is an open project that adapts to the needs of computer engineering educationand is designed to actively engage students in the learning process. PLP was created to connectcore concepts learned in various computer engineering courses, and is aimed at improving thelearning experience for students. It is grounded in the theories of social constructionism andsituated cognition. Results from the pilot studies show that PLP is highly effective in engagingstudents and in helping them gain valuable skills. One clear advantage we are beginning to see isthat students, instructors, and teaching assistants all found it very convenient

minor in engineering mechanics from the Pennsylvania State University and an M.S. in mechanical engineering from MIT. He spent 22 years on active duty in the U.S. Air Force and is a Flight Test Engineer graduate of the USAF Test Pilot School. Gibbons spent most of his AF career performing flight test on advanced aircraft weapons systems. His interests include thermo-fluid sciences, teaching, experimentation, traveling, SCUBA, and botanical sciences.Mr. Philip Knodel, U.S. Air Force Academy Philip Knodel is currently a senior at the U.S. Air Force Academy and will commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force this May. At the Academy, Knodel has studied to earn a B.S. in mechanical engineering for the past four
