Of these students, only one hadhad any programming experience which was important in testing the ease with which teacherscould become competent with the software and the programming concepts in a short time. Initialstudent motivation ranged from very high, actually playing with the Mindstorms® product athome, to very resistant, saying that they were unable to learn new “technology.” This informationset the stage for the first day.Problem SolvingThe first goal was to clearly indicate to the teachers that the learning was to be beyondtechnology specifics. The initial exercise was unrelated directly to the LEGO® product and wasgeared simply to problem solving

As an additional time commitment, office hours can run over when needy students visit.Finally, since these courses surveyed a wide range of engineering topics, workshop leaders spentmore time learning new content than they might if teaching in their degree-granting department.At least one workshop leader spent up to two additional hours per week doing the homeworkassignments so s/he could be prepared when students came to office hours with questions.Another stated that helping students for additional hours was far more desirable than preparingfor class for additional hours.Office hours was a

PBL is not the only method to enhance students’learning. Indeed, educators have experimented with novel approaches (mostly computer-based)to try to do just that5,6,7,8. However, as mentioned above, PBL is generally considered a morerigorous approach that is proven to enforce concept learning in students. In mechanics courses,this is usually done by assigning design project(s) to groups of students9,10. Such design projectsare by definition open-ended and have no unique answer or

Its tenor s an instrument of “revolution” has kept it popular with youth today, just as it was at one point popular with the traveling gypsies of a much earlier era.
