combining engineering focusareas with courses outside of traditional engineering add value to students’degrees and career pathways?Key words: multidisciplinary engineering, retention, recruiting, undergraduate engineering,pathways through engineeringAbstractAs engineering strives to solve increasing global and complex challenges, universities findthemselves uniquely positioned to create opportunities for their engineering students to developmore diverse skill sets through multidisciplinary degree programs. These programs focus oncombining a traditional engineering discipline (e.g. mechanical, aerospace, electrical, etc.) withan outside area of study (e.g. business, philosophy, linguistics, etc.). Many possible advantagescan arise from these

the curricular overlap visualization, aerospace engineeringwas consistently clustered with civil and environmental engineering. Civil and Environmentalwere expected to be closer to each other than to Aerospace. With a self-to-self cross-listing valueof 50 credits, the Civil and Environmental were consistently clustered, with Aerospace nearby.To scale the similarity by cross-listings measure to 0-1, as with the curricular overlap scale,values were divided by the maximum value (the self-to-self value) in the matrix.The NetDraw settings used to generate the curricular overlap diagram did not work well in thecross-listing diagram, because clusters were too tight and obscured labels. To get a readablediagram (Fig. 3), only scaling ordination was

where he worked on modeling the transient dynamic attributes of Kinetic Energy munitions during initial launch. Afterwards he was selected for the exchange scientist program and spent a summer working for DASA Aerospace in Wedel, Germany 1993. His initial research also made a major contribution to the M1A1 barrel reshape initiative that began in 1995. Shortly afterwards he was selected for a 1 year appointment to the United States Military Academy West Point where he taught Mathematics. Following these accomplishments he worked on the SADARM fire and forget projectile that was finally used in the second gulf war. Since that time, circa 2002, his studies have focused on unmanned systems both air and ground. His team

First, the importance of ROS in the robotics re-search and industry community is discussed as motivation to learn how to use this middle-ware (and frequently used packages) in the classroom. Additionally, examples of use

a menu of options for therequired concentration to earn the degree). There were 12 programs that did not require aspecialization (at 2 of those options were listed as available). A few of the programs that did notrequire a specialization noted that they had intentionally embedded both mechanical andelectrical into the required courses in the engineering major. The most common specializationoptions among the 75 non-specialty degrees were in standard engineering disciplines:mechanical (n=44), electrical (n=44), computer / software (n=33), civil (n=24), industrial (n=9),chemical (n=8), aerospace (n=4), and materials (n=3). Degree specializations were also commonin emerging ‘intersectional’ disciplines such as biomedical (n=19), environmental

Such control systems are ubiquitous in modern timesand can be found in a variety of domains, including robotics, aerospace, automotive, chemical,electrical, and biomedical engineering.When it comes to teaching engineering subjects, project-based learning (PBL) has shown significantbenefits [1, 2, 3], as it allows students to gain hands-on experience in applying the concepts theyhave learned in class, reinforces their understanding of the concepts, and prepares them forreal-world engineering applications.
