VISION AND GOALSThe Robotics Engineering faculty adopted as a vision the creation of an Exemplary, nationallyrecognized, Multidisciplinary center for Education, research, and innovation in Robotics. Theprimary goal of the program is to educate engineers for the 21st century, the “enterprisingengineers” envisioned by Tryggvason and Apelian [15], who “knows everything, can doanything, collaborates, and innovates.” These words succinctly capture the notion that futureengineers must be able to find and use information quickly, understand and use the tools toaccomplish any task with

others switched gears to focus more on coursemodule development because they felt the research was too hard to grasp within such shortperiod of time. Below are two example comments that show the difference due to theirknowledge of subject matter and research: There’s not much we can pull [from the RET program] for geometry and algebra II. I thought the research was going to be us researching best practices for teaching. I didn’t know that our research was us tagging along on the professors’ research. The program was fantastic. I learned a lot. But the downside is that I don’t have a course [to implement the RET experience], and I don’t have time to design a curriculum. I’m a little non-standard in that I

How do webetter support our community of stakeholders? We have outlined four strategic planning areas. 1. Enhancement of the graduate program. Strengthening the graduate component will better prepare our students for a broader array of opportunities in both industry and academia. An improved graduate program better delivers on our obligation to provide support for regional industry. More graduate activity will enhance the opportunities for students— graduate and undergraduate—to interact with faculty doing cutting-edge research and development activities. A

Even if the previous director desires to impart all that they know, it is possible that thereis knowledge or meta-knowledge that they, themselves, are unaware they possess.Another challenge is the lack of widespread understanding of the state of the art in diversity,equity, inclusion, and belonging from a practitioner standpoint. The community exists in a stateof functional dichotomy between those designated as researchers and practitioners.
