ConclusionsIn this paper, we share our experiences related to the development of teacher workshops andstudent camps focused on educational robotics based on an active learning model. Ourconclusions can be summarized as follows:  Understanding a concept entails having a mental model that reflects the structure of the concept and its relationship to other concepts. Therefore, presenting organized knowledge through concepts that are combined to form propositions that show the relationship among concepts is essential.  Learning is an active and continual process, where knowledge is constructed, continually updated, and

The curriculum built upon this skillwhile adding various application problems, discussing engineering drawings, and focusing onpattern development. Approximately half way through the curriculum, students were exposed towireframe geometry as they concentrated on two and three coordinate drawings.

, helping to minimize any variation in estimation of average response. However,their use in merit, promotion, and other decisions engenders some controversy. Student ratings of courses are not perfectly reflective of student learning. For example,laboratory studies have suggested that while instructor enthusiasm significantly impacts studentratings, it does not much affect student learning. In contrast, lecture content appears to have amuch greater effect on student learning than on ratings. (Abrami, Leventhal, and Perry 1982)And correlations between average ratings and average learning (based on standardized testresults across multiple course sections) generally fall well below 0.5. For example, Cohen’smeta-analysis (1981) deduced that the

general idea is to make the classroom experience more of a discussion andless of a one-way lecture. Reflecting on the classes I had taken as both an undergraduate and agraduate student, I realized that, with very few exceptions, they unfortunately fell into the lattercategory. All too often, it seemed the role of the professor was to present as much material aspossible, and the role of the student was to dutifully record it for later processing. These “hand-cramping” sessions did little to foster discussion and understanding of the material, however.I am fortunate to have a perspective from the other side of the classroom as well, as I spent twosemesters lecturing at San Francisco State University while I was a graduate student.

to be on the information seeking behaviors of professional engineers ratherthan academics (Leckie et al., 1996). Some of the observations of professional engineers’information seeking behaviors clearly reflects the needs of their particular workplace settings.For example, researchers found a strong preference for professional engineers to work in teamsbecause of the increased facilitation of verbal communication, the ability to develop networksbased on trusted information, and the opportunities for richer feedback and contextualization(Fidel & Green, 2004; Freund, 2015). Professional engineers also rely on text-based documentsas information sources depending on the task and their knowledge of available sources (Freund,2015). When asking
