To evaluate the effectiveness of the new interdisciplinary COIL, it was assessedalongside five other existing modules and the results were compared, with the key object ofinvestigation being the effect on participating students’ global competence. In total twoSTEM non-COIL modules, two STEM COIL modules (including the newly created one witha history component), and two history modules (one COIL and one non-COIL) had their pre-and post-program GC scores calculated using the Miville-Guzman Universality DiversityScale – Short Form (MGUDS-S).

Lab 7 marked a shift to mobile robotics as learners teleoperated aTurtleBot 4 in a maze, introducing sensor data interpretation and basic navigation strategies.Building on that, Lab 8 asked them to write an exploration script for autonomous movement,requiring further integration of sensor feedback and more advanced navigation logic.Finally, Lab 9 culminated in the implementation of the A* search algorithm to identify optimalexploration points and complete a full map of the environment.

International Collaboration and Cultural Exchange: The course fosters cross-cultural collaboration between students from Japan and the United States. Students not only learned technical skills but also gained an appreciation for the different approaches to robotics in each country. Japan’s deep technical expertise and the U.S.’s focus on applied robotics education complement each other, offering students a unique cross-cultural perspective.

The authorsfurther note that the motivation for programs of this classification is that “the current trendtoward complex, highly integrated systems and global markets calls for future engineers that aremore broadly educated, more flexible, and more sensitive to non-technical concerns.” Twochallenges they associate with these programs are: 1) a job market that seeks graduates withdisciplinary expertise and 2) finding faculty interested in interdisciplinary undergraduateeducation more than their disciplinary affiliation.
