ofmore kits. One solution might be for students to buy the NXT microprocessor, known as thebrick, and for the department to supply the other LEGO pieces. Another suggestion was that theNXT be more fully integrated into the course by starting simple projects in the third week whensystem parameters are discussed in the lectures; plans are underway to do this beginning in thespring semester 2015. Table 6 shows the table of contents for technical writing that is distributedto the students and used as the project grading rubric.ConclusionsThe LEGO NXT project has been effective in helping students to better understand and apply theprinciples of automatic controls.

3. The usefulness of quantitative problems (and particularly numerical worked examples which 79% found helped them learn, as noted previously) in understanding material is characteristic of engineering students in our experience. The importance of examples and applications of theory for engineering students was one of our guiding principles in writing the book to feature concrete applications and phenomena that arise from the scientific principles.Figure 2  Response of Engineering Leadership students on difficulty of problems based from draft text.  Page 26.1357.9 The "x" problems in the book help

In practice, colleges often look to their accrediting bodies, such as ABET forengineering programs, for guidance on curriculum, which requires external input fromemployers. Engineering programs ask their advisory board or council for input, and also rely ontheir internal panel of faculty experts, as well as exploring practice at peer university programs.Methodology-wise, industrial engineering faculty have used system theory[1], domain analysis[2]and structural models[3] as an aid in curriculum development.

In problem-based environments, learners practice higherorder cognitive skills (analysis, synthesis and evaluation), and constantly engage in reflectivethinking.34 Lape35 presented tiered scaffolding techniques to bridge the gaps in high-cognitive-load problem-based learning in thermodynamics.

We made this methodological decisionbecause our goal was to better understand students’ perceptions of what engineering is by theway they draw their response to the question.A typical activity to help the students understand their perceptions of the engineering disciplineis to ask them “What is engineering?” However, instructors have been frustrated by the lack ofdepth in students’ responses. We used a different approach to explore students’ perceptions ofthe engineering discipline by taking an arts-informed methodology; instead of writing down theirperceptions or talking with a peer, students are first asked to draw the response to the question“What is engineering?” Arts
