A survey carried out b y Ibrahim indicated that students loved the idea of learningby doing as t h e y learned a great deal about microcontrollers and their applications bysolving real engineering problems [6].The TransformationUnder the original version of the course, the students completed weekly laboratory experimentssimilar to the ones described by Taylor and Jackson [7] and Rosen and Carr [1]. Each laboratorysession was approximately two hours in length and focused on basic understanding of thatweek’s particular subject matter. Very little time was available to tackle real world problems.

students worked on these research teams they were asked to do peerassessments of their team members. Many times students want to be nice to everyone and sayeveryone did above average. To avoid this the following method was used. For a four personteam, you need to assign 400 points to the team (including yourself). If some gets more than a100, then someone else must get less than 100. An example from fall 2014 is shown below intable 4. The shaded boxes are scores that students gave to themselves.

In this projectwe will use a principled coding scheme based on the FBS ontology developed by Gero andcolleagues (Gero, 1990; Gero & Kannengiesser, 2004). The FBS ontology contains three types ofvariables: Function (F), Behavior (B) and Structure (S). Function (F) represents the designintentions or purposes of the design; behavior (B) represents the object’s attributes that can beeither directly derived from a representation of the object (Bs) or expected to be derived
