This paper presents anunconventional approach to meeting this requirement as surveyed and tested in the aerospaceengineering department of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, with theintention of having a lasting impact on engineering graduates throughout their working career.All professions have common codes of competence, integrity, and intended good will towardshumanity. Often these codes presume internal regulation and constraint to guard against humannature’s self-serving inclinations and proclivities.

This means answering questions such as: Which type of motor is the most appropriate for the given application? At what speed(s) should be motor be operating? What torque is required for the application? What environmental issues need to be considered in selecting the motor?An initial foray into motor selection was briefly discussed as part of a larger discussion involvingworking with industrial partners [10].

next teachers, we will be able to generate themeswithin and across the cases of teachers’ experiences teaching computer programming usinggamification and robotics. Both within-case and across-case results will contribute to theteaching and learning scholarship by elucidating how gamification can be utilized to teachcomputer science at the K-12 level. For example, by conducting this learning unit, STEMteachers may see themes in required skills to teach open-ended problem solving andcomputational thinking that may differ from scientific inquiry [25]. This case study also providesinsight on proper ways to implement a computer science framework from the teacher’sperspective, as there is no ‘best practice’ provided [12].This research is also meant

information they would not have gained without the laboratory and retained it severalmonths after the course.IntroductionDirect familiarity with mechanical devices is highly desirable for engineering students. Manystudents entering engineering programs, however, lack such experience. There is a perceptionthat students today have less practical experience than those from past decades. After graduationmost engineers will at some point be designing or evaluating designs of actual equipment. Inorder to be effective they must be able to relate theory to hardware. Most engineering courses donot teach the workings of mechanical devices as complete systems integrated with otherconcepts. Piston-cylinder devices, for example, are considered extensively in
