摘要：First year Mechatronics students at the University of
Waterloo consistently do not see the connection between their fundamental
math and science courses with the practise of engineering.
To address this issue, the first year instructors came together to
launch a two day Hackathon style project for the students called
Tron Days. Tron Days featured small warm up problems dealing
with advanced concepts in each of the courses, and big problems
that drew from all of the first year courses. The challenges only
had communication marks associated with them and provided an
opportunity for sustained engagement with the concepts. The metrics
used to measure the event showed that it was successful at addressing
the desired outcomes, but could be further enhanced to address more
material.
