Students from the active learning classroomsachieved A’s in their subsequent computer science course 1.5-2.5 times more often than studentsfrom the traditional lecture-based classroom.1 IntroductionComputer Science skills are of great importance in today’s workforce. The majority of jobstoday require some level of interaction with a computer. Given that computer science skills areso important, it is vital that we prepare the next generation in the best way possible.

We are particularly interested in the lack of pre-college engineering and design emphasis inSTEM education. Currently, there is an engineering renaissance across the country that iscapturing the imagination of young innovators. This interest includes coding, hardware andsoftware hackathons, and the bourgeoning “Maker” movement.

The presuppositions that went into the design and implementation were insufficientto achieve functionality. There is some recognition of this problem in the literature on engineering laboratories.Feisel and Rosa [1] point out the lack of consensus on what constitutes proper laboratoryinstruction and the overall lack of consensus on what constitutes an appropriate laboratoryexperience. They decry the dearth of literature on learning objectives associated withinstructional engineering laboratories. In any earlier paper, Ernst [2] proposed as objectives thatstudents “should learn how to be an experimenter”, that the lab “be a place for the
