Fromenhancing road safety to revolutionizing healthcare, robotics offers novel solutions to a diversearray of challenges and has evolved from an idea in science fiction to become a reality integral tothe human experience in the twenty-first century. This paradigm shift underscores theimportance of preparing young minds for contemporary life and future innovations through theexploration of robotics as robotics is one of the most widespread interests among children andteenagers. These facts further contribute to an uptrend of introducing robotics into STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) curricula at an early age, aiming tocultivate robotic

Due to lack of scientific, namelybiological and engineering research labs and professor-led laboratories, undergraduate students at the college are leftwanting when it comes to these kinds of experiences. At the university level, undergraduate and graduate studentshave the ability to approach a professor and principal investigator and ask for mentorship in their researchlaboratory. Thus, allowing these students to pursue their own graduate and post graduate goals in this professionalsetting; an experience that is dire to all students wishing to become the great scientific minds of our community.In order to rectify this situation and create a more level playing field for community college students, bridgeprograms have been created in

. Typically, the objective is to design a device or process that has value to acustomer (user). The project begins by defining a performance problem associated with anapplication and ends with a design solution. The problem drives the learning required tocomplete the project. Managing the project requires the engineer to demonstrate effectiveteamwork, clear communication and the ability to balance the social, economic andenvironmental impacts of the project.” This description provides us with a good sense ofthe attributes of a project or students’ performance that need to be assessed. Based on the foregoing, it would be important to bear in mind that in any PrBLbased course, professors are mostly trying to assess learning in a practice-based
