was built onthe science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) reform literature. This approachdeveloped a pairwise linkage among strategic courses in the engineering curricula to promotecurricular integration and helped students see connections between their first-year courses andsubsequent courses.Vertically integrated problem-based learning scenarios that link across courses are crucial to thismodel. Pre-reform data collected in the first study showed that students taking an introductorycomputing course did not see the importance of learning a particular software tool (MATLAB),because they did not see connections to their future courses. This had negative impacts onstudent motivation, learning, and retention. In our recent work

STEM principles in the use of optics,sound, IR, and RF, motion, and distance estimation are evident. Global positioning, localization, andcentering of the pieces will require the use of communication beacons (notice the ‘red’ cone near thebottom right) located at four corners of the board and use of physics and math principles for vectors andtriangulation.
