Strong ties between these competitions, student enthusiasm, research, andeducation have been observed.6This means that students entering their degree program are: a) very enthusiastic about learning“more about robots” and b) generally only have “hobbyist” knowledge of the science that Page 14.269.3underlies the robots they have seen and/or constructed. The goal is to create a program in whichthis “hobbyist” knowledge is transformed into “engineering” knowledge while maintaining thelevel of interest and

have a clear understanding of whatthe word individual means. Instructional systems must be designed to meet the needs of theindividual, whenever possible. The author believes that there are five principles on whichinstructional systems are designed, created, formulated and implemented. The five principlesare: Define, Design, Develop, Deploy and Decide. Appendix B briefly outlines these five principles. Ernest Boyer’s research also motivated the author to experiment on new ideas in theclassroom. This is because, in the nineties, Ernest Boyer argued in “Scholarshipreconsidered: Priorities of the professoriate” that knowledge is acquired not only throughresearch, but also through synthesis, practice, and teaching (Boyer

Student response in their course evaluations was uniformly positive, and showed thatthe students considered the course to be effective in increasing their understanding of the designprocess.

Describe modern trends, including distributed generation and smart grid applications. B. PrerequisitesDetermining appropriate prerequisites for this course was challenging. Electrical engineeringstudents have required coursework in circuits that covers topics like phasors, complex power,transformers, and polyphase power. They have also been required to take a course inelectromechanical energy conversion that reviews these topics. Electrical engineering students inthis course should be very comfortable with these topics. On the other hand, students from otherengineering disciplines are only required to take a service course

2015, we offered two PN sections with approximately 40 students total.4. ConclusionsBuilding on the success of our programming narratives LC, we have developed three differentstrategies integrating writing that incorporates narrative elements into problem-solving courses forcomputer systems majors and non-majors: (a) a module to develop narrative and writing skills forcomputer programming courses; (b) student-developed stories serving as contexts for computerprogramming courses; and (c) interdisciplinary creative writing and computational thinkingcourse for non-majors. Such intentional interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving willpromote learning transfer, providing students with the skills to succeed in college and beyond
