Abstract
This paper describes several process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) activities focused on soft computing (genetic algorithms, neural networks, and fuzzy systems). The paper provides background on POGIL, illustrates several activities, summarizes student feedback, and discusses lessons learned and possible future directions.
