all ASU institutional mandates forundergraduate degrees. The net effect is that a student must take 51 hours of engineeringcourses, 32 hours of math and science, 15 hours of humanities and social science and 9hours of courses that emphasize communications. There are 21 hours left and this wherewe allow the student to impose their own “mandates”. We illustrate this with thecurricular pie shown in figure 3. The individual student therefore makes their own finaldecision about issues such as a breadth/depth tradeoff. A student could take as many as72 hours of engineering and engineering technology in our program and minimalamounts of everything else. Should they do this, they can build in novel mixtures ofengineering topics such as a 50:50 blend

Thegoals of the IDES division were to help recruit and retain students who had the ability to doengineering but also had other compelling interests. To retain maximum flexibility the decisionwas made to not seek ABET accreditation and to require a minimum of 30 credits ofengineering. Students were only allowed to follow plans of study that could not be done in oneof the standard disciplines offered at the university.By the early 21st century it was evident that IDES was serving two groups of students. Onegroup of students wanted an engineering education but did not plan to pursue an engineeringcareer. For example, these students were in preprofessional programs such as

The motivation for the program is twofold: First of all, the dramatic drop in the costof sensors, computers and actuators is making possible entirely new classes of products, capableof both automating nontrivial tasks as well as performing functions not possible before.Secondly, robotics has proven to be an excellent means to excite pre-college students aboutscience, technology, and engineering. While much of the technical foundation for the newprogram is drawn from Computer Science, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, we believethat Robotics Engineering is on the path to emerging as an independent discipline with its ownintellectual goals and body of knowledge.

However, theobjective of this study was to measure the impact of these two new techniques on enhancing theunderstanding of uncertainty analysis for a group of junior undergraduate engineering students.PROPAGATION OF UNCERTAINTY In this section, the three approaches
