Engineering focused on Mechatronics, Robotics and Automation. She went through engineer- ing pathways herself, completing master electrician degree when completing Technical School in Uzice, Serbia, focusing on pre-engineering program on high power voltage systems and maintenance of electro- mechanical systems. Her research is focuses on engineering pathways, career and technical education, digital thread, cyber physical systems, mechatronics, digital manufacturing, broadening participation, and engineering education. She is a Director of Mechatronics and Digital Manufacturing Lab at ODU and a lead of Area of Specialization Mechatronics Systems Design. She worked as a Visiting Researcher at Commonwealth Center for Advanced

learn best design practices6-8. It is worth to remember, thatan engineer is a problem solver - designing large or not so systems, operating engineering systems likecommunication services, power systems, or managing systems and services. Therefore, an engineershould be a designer, a thinker, and a systems integrator. Hence, the education should inculcate intostudents various aspects such as engineering principles, standards and practices, design methods,modeling and optimization skills, systems analysis, integration techniques and new technologies. Anengineer can become a thinker or an innovator only if he or she is allowed to independently put togetherall applied science concepts to solve a practical problem, by considering every alternative

means to build therobot. Sea Perch was born!The MIT Ocean Engineering Department recognized the value of the Sea Perch underwater robotas a tool for Outreach, and developed the prototype of a program, a listing of the parts required tobuild the robot, and a rudimentary design plan. The Sea Perch project was introduced to severallocal high schools in the Boston area, generating immediate interest. MIT sought and receivedfunding from the Sea Grant Program and the Office of Naval Research to expand the program,and one by one, schools became involved with the project.As the Sea Perch project continued through word of mouth, and as more teachers becameinvolved, a more developed curriculum was required. MIT, and many of the teachers whoinitially

experimental group. The approach for this subject, detailed in Mora et al.23, was based on projects with the aim of performing a final measure at the laboratory. Familiarization of students with the concepts needed for performing the Page 24.1029.6 final practice was achieved through applying challenge based learning (CBL) where students had research for finding creative answers to several questions relating their subject.• In the third experience a complete implementation was adopted, affecting all matters and every enrolled student. In this case, the approach was mainly problem-based, as students had to
