and facilitates in international collaborations. Among the competitions he won are Deltacompetition’06, SouthHolland Price’09 and DeltaWaterAward’12. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018Lessons Learned in the Paths of Developing a Multidisciplinary Certificate ProgramAbstractMultidisciplinary education is highly valued and strongly emphasized; however, manyinstitutions still struggle to create the opportunities within their curriculum. Relevant effortsand experiences need to be further studied in order to expand the impacts of multidisciplinaryeducation. This paper will examine challenges and opportunities as well as lessons learned increating a multidisciplinary

connections lead to enhanced opportunities for students before and after graduation. • Robotics Engineering has proven to be a boon for the university and a source of pride for the students in it.6.2. RECOMMENDATIONS TO FURTHER ROBOTICS ENGINEERING EDUCATIONTo further Robotics Engineering education, we recommend the following: • Robotics Engineering should soon become a recognized branch of engineering. • Development of a set of robotics-specific criteria by ABET, following identification of a lead and cooperating societies from among ASME, CSAB, IEEE, and possibly others. • Enhanced robotics and mechatronics education community-building activities, including IEEE Robotics & Automation
