Experiential learning on its own shifts aclass from a more traditional format to “an approach that is semi-structured and requires studentsto cooperate and learn from one another through direct experiences tied to real world problems”[1, p. 4]. When engaging with the community through experiential learning, additionalperspectives are integrated into learning with the intent that all parties will benefit.

The decision support methods we include in PSE are modeling (first principlesfundamental and data-based), simulation, process control, applied statistics, optimization,synthesis and design. These topics overlap with many existing courses in engineering,operations research and applied mathematics, so that much excellent teaching and learningmaterial is available.

The LEGO kits provide a technological mediumfor hands-on learning of engineering design and problem solving without requiring college-levelknowledge of mathematics or the sciences. Supported by a grant from the UCCS Teaching andLearning Center, we have together designed and implemented a new freshman course Introduc-tion to Robotics. We co-developed this course, and co-teach it. It has an on-line course reader,an on-line integrated set of laboratory exercises (with pre-lab assignments), and a comprehensivefinal design project where students must generalize from their lecture and lab experiences to usetechnology to solve a design problem.Why

The summer 2010 course therefore served as a trial to collectand evaluate data to determine what aspects of the course, such as lecture, laboratory, andhomework, need to be changed. From analysis of the data collected, we believe that the summer2010 online circuits course delivered an experience somewhat comparable to an on-campusversion of the course.This initial report provides qualitative analysis of the initial run of the online circuits from theperspective of teaching staff and students. Recommendations are based on staff observations andprior research in online education.
