Since this is nowthe seventh year the course has been offered, course development, feedback, and improvementsto the course will also be discussed. The detail in this paper is intended to provide enoughinformation for others to use a similar model for course development.IntroductionThe purpose of Engineering 100 is twofold. The primary purpose is to introduce first-yearstudents to the USAFA engineering disciplines in the context of the systems engineering designprocess. Students integrate these disciplines using a semester-long boost glider design project.They must use aeronautical

For example, when the student is taking a long time to input aresponse, this model would consider the subject to be engaged and assume that the student iseither thinking or working the problem out on pencil and paper. What if the student is actuallytalking to a peer and still manages to submit an answer before the computer categorizes him orher as disengaged? For situations like this, we would like to integrate a robotic platform into thisintelligent tutoring system to reinforce engagement.More specifically, the long-term goal is to create an adaptive robotic tutor using a humanoidrobot in conjunction with a touchscreen device.

That is they must be able to involvethemselves fully, openly, and without bias in new experiences (CE). They must be able to reflecton and observe their experiences from many perspectives (RO).

responses to this climatesurvey, was highlighted as an aspect of the culture of engineering education in Godfrey andParker’s [61] ethnographic study. They found that “the shared hardship was likened to a bootcamp mentality seen as binding students into a shared identity” (p. 12). This “shared identity”may help students feel a sense of belonging. There may be ways to promote these academic andsocial benefits of peer relations within the classroom or curriculum. For example, Meeuwisseand colleagues’ [26] found that more cooperative learning environments had a positive impact onstudents’ formal and informal interactions with peers and faculty, which in turn had a positiveimpact on students’ sense of belonging.Ong and colleagues [6] described a
