Abstract
Student projects play a crucial role in current tertiary education. Projects help students to verify their understanding of technological and scientific concepts by applying them to practical problems. Typically they represent a phase between a consumptive and active learning or between acquiring and applying knowledge. This phase is of paramount importance to education, especially in science and engineering. However, there is no systematic way of designing robotic student projects. With this paper we want to propose a method of deriving student projects from concept inventories (CI), listing the concepts that are necessary to comprehend in order to actively contribute to a scientific or engineering domain.
