Theplan is to continue expand the DFO mindset throughout all of engineering at the university. Partof that will be encouraging faculty to leverage the digital assets created to benefit their on-ground classes. It is also a goal to collaborate with other higher learning institutions to continueto improve the process and to better serve all student populations.References[1] J.E. Seaman and J.

MOTIVATIONThe introduction of the Robotics Engineering program was motivated by several considerations.First, it seemed that the growth of the robotics industry would lead to a demand for engineeringtalent uniquely qualified to develop robotic systems, much the same way that the growth of theAeronautics/Aerospace and Biomedical device industries demanded broadly educated engineersqualified to work in their respective domains. Second, the high level of interest in K-12 roboticsactivities, such as For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST),demonstrated that there would be a natural pipeline of enthusiastic, even

This suggests the book was used as a course textbook, though this theory does notfully explain why the demand for the book suddenly increased that year. Presumably, if the bookwas being used as a required text, demand should have remained fairly consistent through theyears.
