Integrated project delivery methods aremaximizing this need for interdisciplinary team production.

In the Heavy Civil course it wasfound that a number of small projects were assigned to the students rather thanfocusing on larger project through the quarter.

The authors are exploring the use of interactive digital tools as away to present large-scale concept maps that organize information and show connections acrossthe curriculum without overwhelming the user visually. As an exemplar, the authors havechosen the content in an engineering statics course. If successful, the concept mapping toolcould be used to cognitively link information between courses in engineering mechanics andthen across the entire engineering curriculum. As the first step in this process, the authors set outto capture an expert’s knowledge of engineering

As of the fall semester of 2011, the program is the seventh largestdiscipline at WPI in terms of undergraduate enrollment. At the core of the curriculum are foursignature courses called Unified Robotics I-IV. The goal of these courses is to introduce studentsto the multidisciplinary theory and practice of robotics engineering, integrating the fields ofcomputer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. The sophomore levelcourses, RBE 2001 and RBE 2002, introduce students to the foundational concepts of roboticssuch as kinematics, pneumatics, circuits, electric motors, sensors, signal processing andembedded system

In order to motivate students, STEMtopics need to be approached in ways that are relevant and interesting to high school students.One proposed method is to connect everyday technology to scientific and mathematicalconcepts. This has been done before through the INFINITY Project, which pioneeredcollaboration between high schools, universities, and industry to create a project-basedengineering curriculum2.Music technology, as shown by its inclusion in the INFINITY project, is a potential topic formotivating students into STEM fields.
