,where the traditional 18-week course is split into three one-credit hour 6-week modules. Withthis separation, different disciplines are able to build their curriculum to the needs of theirstudents. The first two courses (ENGR 2431: DC Circuits and ENGR 2531: AC Circuits)primarily cover topics that non-majors are required to know for the FE exam. The final 6-weekcourse (ENGR 3431: Electromechanical Systems) includes advanced topics not typically taughtin an introductory circuits course, such as LabView programming, digital logic, computercommunications, sensors, and motors. To provide a more practical and hands-on approach to thestructure of ENGR 3431 a robotics project was implemented in the Spring 2011 semester. Thispaper focuses primarily on
