programming. To my knowledge, the new ENGR 102 curriculum corrects for this by a) teaching in Python, and b) teaching basics of coding a specific language. I believe this to be a much more appropriate approach to teaching coding, especially for students who had no prior experience, such as myself” [6]. • “I think ENGR 102 was a great course to ease students who don’t have any coding experience into coding. There reason for this is because this course solely focused on coding. I took ENGR 111 [previous first semester course] and in this course, we were taught more than just coding which made it hard to just focus on learning that new skill” [6].Graduate teaching assistants

one of the highest evaluated classes in the University ofColorado’s School of Engineering. Students clearly enjoy the class, the process of learning todesign a spacecraft, and the feeling of accomplishment – despite the significant workload -- bycompleting the class. For some students the work in this class has been discussed at jobinterviews and has become the basis for a job offer. Two aspects of the class receive criticismeach year: a) the in-class presentations and b) the book. A small percentage of the class,particularly those who do a good job with public speaking, view the in-class presentations as awaste of time. Most students, however, show marked improvement in speaking capability bygoing through this process.Classroom Management

The front is pictured in (a) and the back pictured in (b).In order to have individual communication, the XBee receivers in each controller and the XBeetransmitters on each course section must be paired to the same channel. Since there are twocourses each with 4 course sections, there are 8 different static transmit addresses whichbroadcast robot positional data and course objective information. When a robot is ready to run ona course section, the user must input what course section the robot is running on (the sections arelettered A-H which represent the 8 course sections). The robot controller then configures theXBee accordingly to listen to the

. Page 26.127.4BadgingBadging, or microcredentialing, is a process by which students can be evaluated on skills and knowledgeat a more granular level than a whole course. In our current educational model, when an employerreviews the transcript of a student who received a B in a class, that employer cannot distinguish whetherthat student did everything in the course pretty well, or is particularly good at some skills yet unable tocomplete other tasks12. The concept with badges, and why there is increasing interest in the potential usein education, is the ability to measure particular skills that are encompassed in a class.Moreover, badging also works to incentivize students.
