The plan outlines an intense two-year project intended to produce innovative educational processes for preparing the next generation of leaders in a technological society and institutional policies which will establish a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation. Intense efforts will be focused on (1) a comprehensive re-examination of engineering curricula and educational processes, (2) student life and

where appropriate, we were able to start the program by developingonly two new courses, Foundations of Robotics and Robot Dynamics, supplemented by specialtopics, independent study, and other project work. We anticipate adding new courses as theprogram grows, additional faculty join the program, and as we introduce a Ph.D. in RoboticsEngineering. Initial response to the program by students and industry has been very positive,and the program shows great promise to contribute significantly to meeting future engineeringworkforce needs.1. IntroductionThere is an increasing demand for creative scientific, engineering, and management talent tomeet national needs.

The teams were multidisciplinary but there was little interdisciplinary interaction.Around 6 years ago, in 2004, standardization of the design practices was implementedand multidisciplinary interaction increased slightly. In 2005, further improvements weremade to the project that required more interdisciplinary design and testing effort. 4 Whilethese changes were effective, the mechanical engineering faculty involved with theproject deemed the required effort to be high for the 1 credit course. Subsequent surveydata showed that the level of interdisciplinary interaction decreased after the additionalrequirements were not
