real manufacturing enterprise. The design of the course is based on constructionist curriculum design. An understanding of theconstructionist approach to curriculum design can be seen in the writings of Jean Piaget, JeromeBruner, and John Dewey. Both Jean Piaget and Jerome Bruner see the individual as the principlein the acquisition and construction of his or her own knowledge. Both are consideredconstructivists. Constructivism is a learning theory in which individuals interact with the worldaround them and then go through internal processes to make sense of those interactions. BothPiaget and Bruner discuss the relevance of a curriculum based on the developmental stage of theindividual and the need for interaction with objects and individuals

The material from Dacta has three distinct advantages: 1.The driver software (ROBOLAB) is all written in LabVIEW and is easily ported into theLabVIEW student version, (2) the RCX has an AC plug adapter - necessary for taking data overlong time intervals, and (3) they have accompanying curriculum (developed primarily for theelementary school). They sell a number of different kits through Pitsco-Lego Dacta(http://www.pitsco-legodacta.com).

Problem solving skills are critical to becoming an effective engineer. With minimalapplication opportunities for upper-level course material in the typical engineering curriculum,students are often not sufficiently prepared to accomplish rigorous design projects in industryimmediately following graduation. Having the requisite knowledge is only one part of the task;being able to effectively utilize and apply prior knowledge requires more advanced learningoutcomes.

For, if academic success can be achieved, thenumber of students defecting or being dismissed from the engineering program would decrease.Some researchers have recognized that social integration is also an important factor to academicsuccess.10, 19-21Social integration within a classroom allows peer-to-peer interaction. Students are able to buildsocial capital, which “consists of social networks, habits or cooperation and bonds of reciprocitythat serve to generate benefits for members of a community.”10 Students are willing to shareinformation within their network, issues out of the class and issues in the class.

Hands-on experiments are ideal to illustrate these challenging concepts and thus constitutean integral part of the science and engineering curriculum. An ideal experiment involving a systemin which responses depend on multiple parameters should be constructed such that individualcomponents can be altered arbitrarily to understand their significance to the response of the system.Unfortunately, such experiments are often not realizable in classroom or even laboratory settings.Computer simulations can remediate some of the problems associated with the visualization ofcomplex processes; however, do not
