However, the authors could not find a course that would combineboth topics. As the AI algorithms make their way into wearables, smart phones and Internet ofThings (IoT) devices, having experience in real-time AI algorithms will benefit students in theirprofessional careers.The course is still under preparation and is planned to be offered in the summer of 2018. We aresharing our work-in-progress that illustrates the development of the labs for EAI.

Basic circuit analysis and introductory statics meets thesecriteria. Both subjects involve basic engineering design and problem solving methods that spanthe entire discipline of engineering. Beyond analytical skills, design development wasimplemented by teaching introductory SolidWorks CAD techniques along with Arduinoprogramming. Both build a foundation for logical thinking and develop planning skills. Once thestudents complete the first half of the semester, they have a set of skills that enable them to worktogether to complete a multidisciplinary project, completely utilizing all of

Although previous studies have discussed the role of reflection as an important aspect ofthe collaborative learning environment [36], for blended learning [47] and also for fosteringtransformative learning [48], [49], they have not discussed the relationship between these twoteaching strategies of SRL. The above-discussed studies have focused on three aspects: 1) role ofself-reflection in SRL, 2) the role of teamwork in SRL, and 3) role of reflection in fostering acollaborative environment.

Additionally, some universities offer for-credit, engineering summer school courses to highschool students. Two Advanced Placement (AP) computer science courses are currently taught in highschools and plans are underway for an AP engineering course. As these dual credit programs develop, itis important to understand how they prepare the pathway to an undergraduate engineering major,particularly if they are designed to replace the on campus introduction to engineering course.
