Digital pictures, descriptions of each model, and a decision matrix for choosing the bestconcept were submitted along with solid models of each part of their design. A Decision matrix like theone shown in Figure 2 was used to select the best design. Process plans were required for the third weekalong with a Pro/E assembly file, G-codes to produce all parts with comments that identify which codesor lines were used to manufacture each feature of the part.

Each of these aspects of a majortopic is given (typically) a day of lecture time. This way, for each topic students see how thevarious mechanical, electrical and computer components of a system interact

The course assignments involve designing and building the device(a clear engineering challenge) with the more conceptual work of planning for its integration intopro-social organizational processes (a clear peace and justice challenge). To facilitate thisexploration, we have designed the course to minimize lectures and instead use class time forconversations and collaboration. This will be done through a combination of group discussions,team exercises, and collaborative workshops.This paper, submitted as a work-in-progress, presents the current state of our coursedevelopment.

For AM, the samestudents will learn to produce physical models for these mathematical relationships via AMtechnologies. Based on these teaching and learning experiences, we plan to show that thelevel of students’ understanding of the inventory models increases with these visual andtactile aids. Ultimately, we plan to show how tactile aids produced via AM help students learn themathematical concepts of integral calculus. We also intend to demonstrate how this calculusprovides a way to characterize the variations in products manufactured via AM

A mechatronic system integration plan was developed to combine the mechanical, electronic and software elements of the research. Once the system was modelled mathematically, a control strategy was implemented to achieve stability. This was investigated by creating a MATLAB ® Simulink ® numerical model, which was used to run simulations of the system. - “Development of Automated Aerial Pesticide Sprayers” by Dheepak, et. al [3].

Assessment of student learning therefore must go beyond measuring themastery of the various knowledge domains contributing to the discipline. Here we discuss ourcurrent assessment results, the tools we have used, and our plans for continuing assessment.There are three measures of success for any new program: 1. The number and quality of students attracted to the program, 2. The extent to which graduates are employed or admitted to graduate school, and 3. The degree to which the program achieves its educational objectives.The first measure, enrollment, is, sine qua non, the most important and straightforward. This hasalready
