. Page 14.1038.2 Rube Goldberg (1883 – 1970) was an engineer turned cartoonist who drew incrediblemachines that completed simple tasks, such as turning off a light switch, in as complex of a wayas possible. His cartoons were meant as a social commentary on how technology to solve simpleproblems is often needlessly complex, but this context provides an excellent context for childrento learn about engineering design. Combining Rube’s ideas with an engineering design processgives students an opportunity to have positive experiences where they have a lot of room toexplore and be creative while still following an engineering design process and understandingthe basic process that engineers go through to design. These positive experiences

Noted author andproduct designer Robert G. Cooper sums up the dilemma well, stating that “most companies lackmuch in the way of effective product innovation and technology strategy, and worse yet, seem ata loss for developing such a strategy.”14 Obviously, universities are, at least in part, as much responsible for this problem as theyare for the solution. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology recognizes thisshortcoming in engineering programs, and has clearly outlined the technical and non-technicalskills necessary for success in an increasingly complex and interdisciplinary workplaceenvironment.15 Teaching cognitive processing skills, communication and team working skills,ethics, global awareness, and environmental

Industry has also perceived new BS engineeringgraduates as lacking design capability or creativity, as well as an appreciation for consideringalternatives. In the past several years, universities have responded to these challenges by addingmore design content and introducing more open-ended design problems into their engineeringcurricula.

We proposeto construct the product structures underlying an engineering artifact from these relevantdocuments created or referenced during the course of a design project using machine learningapproaches and language technologies.

project can be described as designing a portable robotic workcell for industry to showcasestate-of-the-art equipment and technologies in robotics. The industrial sponsor for this project isApplied Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) located in Orion, Michigan. AMT plans to use theworkcell for demonstrating current robotics technology in tradeshows, industrial open housesand/or robotics conferences. In addition, the workcell is to be used as a platform to providetraining to engineers working in robotics industry on robot programming, machine vision andsystems integration. The small size, flexible design and durability make the workcell appealingto many other applications in robotics engineering.An engineering senior project design team composed of
