Roboticsis an interdisciplinary field that incorporates the integration of many systems in software,electronics, control systems, actuators and sensors. The Robotics of today imparts the mostimportant attributes such as the nature of motion, the motions available to rigid bodies and the useof kinematic constraints to organize motion. Because the growing field of Robotics covers manyareas of EET education we decided we would develop curriculum for an introductory course inRobotics. This paper explores the curriculum design and the Lie Algebra and Lie Group that arekeeping track of the variables involved in arm robotic

Integratingengineering standards throughout the curriculum can strengthen students’ understanding of whatstandards are and how to apply them effectively in senior design [1] and their careers.BackgroundIn 2014, an ABET review identified a weakness in the use of engineering standards in our BMEprogram.

society has been emphasized the last decades asexpressed by e.g. National Academy of Engineering’s Engineer of 2020 [3], and new quite”non-engineering” skills and competencies have been showed to be crucial for engineers tobecome employed [4].Today, most engineering communities agree that communication is of utmost importance, both asan integrated part of the engineering education and as a necessary competence in work life. Howto best achieve this competence, however, is still an open question. In this paper the authors focuson written communication, and illustrate writing not only as a professional skill but also as acognitive process that can fertilize situated learning in project-based courses.

Evidence of the increasingacceptance includes the creation of the ASEE Community Engagement Division. While thereare many examples of success, most are driven by individual faculty or small groups and thereare few examples of large scale implementation of engagement. For community engagement toachieve its potential, models that can be replicated or adapted and integrated into the fabric of theinstitutions must be developed.
