One noteworthy comment fromLang [8] was the conclusion that “comprehension lies outside of the classroom.”BackgroundStudents at The Citadel take an institution-wide core curriculum in liberal arts, math and sciencethat comprises much of the first four semesters. For engineering majors, the majority of thecourses in the remaining four semesters builds on this foundation in the discipline-specificengineering.The approach taken by the Department of Mechanical Engineering begins with designing amulti-layered and dynamic educational experience for the students.

Instructors in higher education consider various ways of integrating creativity and innovation into thecourses they teach to better prepare students for their future careers [4]. Study shows that between the twocommonly-used approaches that enhance creativity, i.e., teaching vs. practice creativity, stimulatingcreativity by practices is considered to be more effective [5]. In addition, many professors used project-based learning [6, 7] when trying to foster creativity in their courses [8, 9].Due to robotics’ multi-disciplinary nature, we think

learning activities in a course.In the case of introductory physics labs, goals range from reinforcing content, learning aboutmeasurement and uncertainty, practicing communication skills, developing teamwork skills, and,more broadly, learning that physics is an experimental science. It is unrealistic to hit all thosegoals. A practical benefit SBG for educators is that SBG made assessment easy. Academicprograms in higher education are constantly under scrutiny of various organizations, such as theHigher Learning Commission (HLC) and Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET). Because assessments and evidence collection are embedded in the day-to-day and lab-to-lab work, it is easier to integrate SBG into course level assessment

Our basic three-course sequence of"Circuits," "Electronics," and "Signals and Systems" was replaced by a new sequence,"Fundamentals 1,2, and 3". Our approach focuses on a learning studio technique with highlyintegrated laboratory and lecture components [3],[4]. In each successive course, many of thesame topics are covered, and at an increasing depth of understanding. This approach has beenshown to increase learning of complex topics while minimizing the cognitive load at each phase[5].A substantial portion of this approach is a tightly integrated lecture-laboratory approach, i.e., alearning studio; our
