Paper ID #26619Internet of Things Curriculum Workshop: An Interdisciplinary, Cross-InstitutionalEffort for Education in an Expanding FieldDr. Harold T. Evensen, University of Wisconsin, Platteville Hal Evensen earned his doctorate in Engineering Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he performed research in the area of plasma nuclear fusion. Before joining UW-Platteville in 1999, he was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Washington, part of group that developed automation for biotechnology. His recent research includes carbon nanotube electronics.Dr. Molly M. Gribb P.E., University of Wisconsin

again as different majors to form multidisciplinaryteams and work on industry-sponsored projects; the Global Multidisciplinary Design Project(GMDP) extends the boundaries of capstone design projects to involve internationalcollaborations; liberal arts courses broaden students’ horizon beyond engineering fields and helpstudents to think about engineering problems from different perspectives. The JI offers minors innon-engineering fields including entrepreneurship, data science, and computer science, toprovide concentrated studies in the non-engineering fields. Through the engineering curricula,our goal is to train effective engineers with interdisciplinary experience, technical knowledge,innovative minds, a deep understanding of professional

cogently present to senior managers and team members --- was adifferentiating skill even for entry-level engineers.Feedback was sought from sophomores in the first cohort both through anonymous online surveys andthrough face-to-face discussions. They responded that what they liked most about NEET was that theywere becoming part of a professional community; this feedback though welcome, was somewhatunexpected as NEET had not been designed with that goal in mind. Sophomores appreciated the project-centric approach and the interactions NEET was starting to develop with industry.Though it is far too early to come to meaningful conclusions for the medium to longer term, the initialresponse is encouraging. Over 5% of the Class of 2020 engineering

Being a former Principia student herself, the AI consultant was able to mind-meld withthe students throughout the project, giving them insights on both a professional and student level.A strong bond of respect and understanding was forged among the entire team which contributedsignificantly to the research and the educational processes. Described below are some of theinsights gained from both the teaching and learning aspects of this project. ● The instructor was impressed by the ease and speed with which the students learned the technological aspects and capabilities of the drones used for photographing the Maybeck Chapel.

While the current connected capstone course was designed with the fourinvolved departments in mind, a future goal is to provide the opportunity for collaborationbetween or among any number of disciplines. One main anticipated project output is a model fora multi-disciplinary capstone course that can be implemented across related and unrelateddisciplines at higher education institutions.References:[1] B.

involved being able to iterate on a design—starting small, failing, and thenadjusting prototype ideas. The students recalled another engineering faculty member’s visit toclass and her suggestion to prototype using low cost materials (“get a cardboard box and putsome remote cars in there and see if people use it”) rather than giving the students a big budgetto start. They came back to this idea a few times; they want to fail and try again, but they alsowant a variety of projects.How do you describe the engineering design process?As faculty, we were mindful that the course was about engineering design and not tinkering or“making.” Although the students’ desire to “make” helped them engage in the course and the

timesthroughout history and, more regrettably, it is still playing itself to this day in manyregions around the world. With this in mind, engineers as well as non-engineers have arole to play to ameliorate living conditions for humans everywhere to reduce thepossibility of war and conflict. The question humanity in general and engineers inparticular are faced with is how to engineer peace and employ various skills to build abetter future for all. The answer to this question starts with an attempt to combat thefactors that ultimately lead to conflict. Peace engineering is a branch of study in whichengineering and non-engineering students are trained to think critically across manydisciplines to use technical solutions involving science and engineering
