| Summary: | In 2000 the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Oregon
State University began a new and innovative program named TekBots[superscript TM]. This
program was created to solve the problems of students in existing undergraduate
engineering education not having sufficient skill when graduating in six program
educational objectives; Depth, Breadth, Professionalism, Innovation, Community,
and Troubleshooting. TekBots uses several core values such as personal ownership,
curriculum continuity, contextual teaching, fun, and hands on learning, to
encourage students to learn and improve. Since the inception of the program two
courses have been greatly refined. An evaluation of the courses supports our
indications of improvement our program educational objectives. This thesis
