Teachers can integrate these project-driven challenges into theirclassroom curriculum, or they can use the challenges as curriculum for their afterschool clubsand programs. The majority (62%) of students on competition teams are members of roboticsclubs that meet after school. Twenty-one percent of the remaining students volunteer or competeto participate on a team while 13% are required to participate in the competitions as part of aSTEM class. A small percentage of students participate in the competitions as

A majority of the studentswere from the Computer Engineering (CE) major; this is not surprising since the course isrequired in the CE curriculum and most of them are interested in the topic. There were also afew Electrical Engineering (EE) majors who could take it as an elective. There were noComputer Science (CS) majors who could also take the course as an elective. In terms ofprerequisites, most of the students can program in C/C++ and assembly language but they are notnecessarily proficient. Most have also taken courses in digital logic design, computerorganization, and operating systems. The survey also indicated that a majority of students hadlittle prior knowledge or experience

Lastly, this paper examines the integration of liberalarts into engineering education to develop a Christian worldview as stated in Baylor University’smission statement. The authors conclude that a common liberal arts core for Baylor University isnot the answer for engineering programs and proposals are given to satisfy liberal artsrequirements.IntroductionV. James Mannoia Jr. points out in his book Christian Liberal Arts: An Education That GoesBeyond that defining the term liberal arts is not without difficulty1. The “basket approach”would describe the content of a liberal arts education as a collection of skills or

fundamental challenges:decomposition and integration faced by companies. They assert that the overall designeffort needs to be broken into individual tasks and more importantly the work carriedout on these tasks needs to be integrated into an overall design once again. Theyidentify functional, project and matrix organisation structures among others to carryout these functions. Meetings, and meeting room resources are some of the mainrequirements of a design office. Mulgan [15] identifies that providing writtenmaterial, multimodal supports and multiplatform environments, support sense-makingand common understanding in meetings. He asserts that minutes, images, networks,shared documents, and digitally shared information, all contribute to extend
the STEM curriculum: for exampleengineering in comparison to other non-STEM majors such as liberal arts or business.Engineering student attrition due to poor attitudes, perceived coursework difficulty, anddepartmental polices that effect this behavior are clearly concerns for engineering institutions. Lovitts (2001) suggests that more standardized quantitative measures for departmentalenvironments need to be created, and more appropriate quantitative measurements need to beapplied to studying STEM student attrition. There is a need to conduct objective longitudinalstudies that prevent attrition as opposed to the subjective retrospective studies done in the past.This study demonstrates a methodology that will begin to fulfill this need.

Notonly does this support cross-connections and provide a holistic understanding of the material, butit also assists in reinforcing the full semester’s learning outcomes for better retention.Additionally, student engagement is always a key consideration for any instructor whendeveloping the semester curriculum, and hands-on adventurous activities are well received.
