course. This course is required forstudents from three majors: computer engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanicalengineering. The course content includes introduction to microcontrollers (μCs), actuators,analog and digital sensors, electronics, and programmable logic controllers. The justification tohave this course in the curricula is twofold. First is to provide a basic knowledge aboutelectromechanical systems to students since nowadays there are very few systems that can becategorized as either pure electrical system or mechanical system. Second is to help student buildmultidisciplinary team skills.Robotics is an appropriate technical field for the integration of different engineering curriculatopics and therefore it has been

Meanwhile, the Master’slevel learning defined in the ASCE BOK is only recently being examined in detail. The24 learning outcomes in the ASCE BOK are separated into three categories: foundational,technical and professional learning. Master’s level learning is not identified as a part ofthe foundational and professional learning

This paper presents a novel methodologythat incorporates driving simulation, motion simulation, and educational practices into anengaging, gaming-inspired simulation framework for a vehicle dynamics curriculum. Theresearch places students into a gaming scenario where learning occurs during game play, ratherthan using a formally structured learning approach to vehicle dynamics. The application of themethodology is demonstrated in the context of an advanced vehicle dynamics course. This paperreports on work done under National Science Foundation grant DUE-0633596 in the

Even more particularly, we argue for the positive value of a foundationcourse, taken by all first- or second-year students, which introduces them to, and providesopportunities for them to practice, their critical, analytical, quantitative, and scientificreasoning skills. Most particularly, we argue for the positive value of such a course forundergraduate Engineering majors.

By teaching thebasic concepts of sampling, replication, and variation in a hands-on environment instead ofcalculus-based probability theory, students gain an immediate intuitive understanding ofstatistics, rather than memorize a series of poorly understood statistical “recipes”. The practicalresults are: 1) statistical concepts are more transparent, 2) students better retain understanding ofstatistical concepts, 3) students are capable of more sophisticated statistics than what they can doin a traditional engineering statistics course, and 4) the course can be taken earlier in anengineering curriculum than a traditional parametric, calculus-based course.
