discipline focused onthe creation of smart and autonomous systems and processes in an integrated and interdisciplinaryfashion towards improving the quality of human lives. Despite the growing need for MREprofessionals and increasing numbers of undergraduate and graduate degree programs, this fielddoes not yet enjoy recognition as a distinct and identifiable discipline.A distinct and identifiable engineering discipline must address four questions: 1) What is the bodyof knowledge that practitioners must master? 2) What skills must practitioners demonstrate? 3)What are the ways of thinking that permeate the discipline? 4) How do practitioners define anddistinguish the discipline? Within the MRE community, there is disagreement over how thesequestions

analysis of products. My professional development at Kennametal over the past two summers has focused on analyzing both the static and fatigue properties associated with products during operation. Verification of results and generating technical analysis reports followed all completed analyses. Currently, I am working on a senior design project focused on the design and analysis of robotic end of arm tooling to help Kennametal automate a specific pick and place process in a manufacturing facility.

The data presented below are taken from the 2019 assessment results.Prior to the program, students’ career aspirations all seemed to include becoming an engineer,pursuing advanced education, or teaching about engineering. They ranged in their specificity:some students knew the exact field or position they were aiming for and others had vagueconceptions. Examples of how the undergraduates described their career aspirations included: To be a researching RF and Microwave engineer Become an educator Be an engineer who masters the fundamentals of a chosen field in order to be capable of solving challenging design problems I
, 64% were Ph.D. students, 27% master students, and 9% did not disclose their program. Therace/ethnicity of the graduate student participants was represented by White/Caucasian at 45.4%,Hispanic/Latino 27.3%, Asian 18.2%, and African American/Black 9.1%.Data analysisThe qualitative content analysis was carried out in two stages: initial and secondary coding. Theinitial coding used Nvivo and descriptive coding methods. The secondary coding used axial codingto develop categories and themes. Initial and secondary coding was done manually, Nvivo was usedfor frequency tracking. An inductive approach of qualitative content analysis was selected as itallows for the understanding of experiences and identification of unanticipated phenomena [9].That is

There was a learning curve for the professors to have to quickly overcome inorder to master the use of the myDAQ. What helped minimize that learning curve is that the EEdepartment had quickly recorded a series of videos in preparation showing professors how to setup the myDAQ unit and make general use of its features for our laboratory courses. There werealso difficulties encountered modifying the courses to accommodate the myDAQ.
