Paper ID #14224Lessons Learned from Team-Teaching a PBL Robotics Course with Multi-Disciplinary Instructors and StudentsDr. Jose M Garcia, Purdue University Biography Dr. Jose Garcia has been involved in several local and statewide recruitment events, where he was able to develop short workshops in fluid power and STEM. He is also working on the development of a new generation of hydraulic components and systems that can operate using environmentally friendlier fluids. Dr. Garcia has plans to actively continue the development of practical teaching tools that bring industry applications to the classroom.Prof. Rick Homkes

It was only when all the parts and components were defined and linked (initially byrequirement, then by analysis or simulation, and finally physically) that the true performance(and risk) of a system was understood and managed1.SE was formalized into a series of documents created for the U.S. Government, starting with the Page 26.666.3seminal Mil-Std-499 Systems Engineering Management, which provided the program manager 2criteria for evaluating engineering planning

typically done through reviews and approvalfrom stakeholders. The life-cycle process is divided into phases to allow the development teamto assess their progress, estimate system and project performance, and plan the next deliverable.In addition, the division allows stakeholders and decision makers to assess management andtechnical progress. Like the system process models, many life-cycle processes are developed andimplemented by different organizations for their respective projects.1, 7-9 Page 26.567.3 Verification &

. Sustainability is an important aspect to consider in the methodology oftoday’s engineering challenges and there is a very real demand in industry for graduates whohave had training in sustainability and understand the systems approachUpon finished the program, the students should be able to: • Apply the knowledge and methods of the social and natural sciences to understand and analyze engineering problems and to provide solutions • Develop interdisciplinary critical thinking, communication and problem solving skills for sustainable development projects • Build leadership in planning, building and implementation of sustainable developmentCurriculum Development sustainable system engineering baccalaureate programThe curriculum for the SSE program is

widening gap in systems engineering expertise in the workforce. There is aparallel need to develop “entrepreneurally-minded” engineers (i.e., those who can identifyopportunities to create or improve products, and to implement plans to capture such opportunities).Engineering graduates need the capability and competency to efficiently and effectively engineerinnovative systems that satisfy customer and user operational needs, within budget, schedule,technology, and risk constraints. The solutions developed must incorporate societal impacts as wellas regulatory constraints. As evidenced by our definitions, there are strong overlap between Page

Critical design review.Success in system engineering derives from the realization that design activity requires a “team”approach. A general challenge in today’s environment pertains to implementing the overall systemdesign process rapidly, in a limited amount of time, and at a minimal cost.

and last subsystem is structured by a Lab View algorithm. This algorithmaccesses the database in the third subsystem and retrieves the last known location of every singlelocal user to then overlap it with a floor plan of the building or area which the local users arenavigating. Once the ‘big brother’ is aware of the location of every single local user, ‘it’ can senda message to the local users using the same structure that it used to transmit the local userlocation. In this case the ‘big brother’ types the message which is sent from LabView to theserver. In the server it is archived in another database which is then accessed by the maincontroller of the wireless adhoc network. This message must contain the local users’ id and themessage. In
