Instrumentation (anElectrical Engineering course) and Software Maintenance and Reengineering from ComputerSciences and Software Engineering department collaborated on five Internet of Things (IoT)projects. The collaboration has revealed both challenges and positive outcomes. This paperdescribes the collaboration, the students’ feedback and lessons learned. 1. IntroductionEngineering projects have become complex in the 20th century and require multiple teams fromdifferent disciplines to work collaboratively to solve problems. Collaboration betweenmultidisciplinary teams has become a standard in industries; however, educational curricula havebeen slow to adapt. Although most engineering programs have a capstone design course as a partof their curricula

paper considers the value of robotics competitions from the perspective of theirexperiential education value. Each year, thousands of students across the United States andaround the world participate in a wide variety of robotics competitions. It is generallyrecognized that student participants find these experiences highly enjoyable and have theopportunity to gain and demonstrate skills in a variety of areas directly and peripherally relatedto the project. However, despite the prevalence of these activities, insufficient research has beenperformed to characterize their specific value and the sources that it comes from.This paper presents initial work on the characterization of the value of participation in roboticscompetition teams.

The key features of theprogram are (1) a single point of entry, (2) long-term and authentic research experiences, (3)participation in a broader impact project, and (4) personal mentoring between students andfaculty. Since its inception in 2003, the program has had 251 total student participants that havepublished 225 peer reviewed publications and 75% have continued on to graduate school.1. IntroductionA recent report analyzed what made students view their undergraduate education as being worththe cost [1]. The three largest factors were the following: • “My professor cared about me as a person.” • “I had a mentor who encouraged me to pursue my goals and dreams.” • “I had at least one professor who made me excited about learning.”All
