students in locating data-science-focused internships, through which they applied their data science knowledge. Finally, DSMCstudents worked to develop a capstone project, through which they reflected on theirexperiences, shared their knowledge, and explored the next steps for their data-science career. Fig 1. Typical sequence of students in Data Science Micro-Credential programDSMC CourseworkTwo courses comprise the foundation of DSMC: a course on data science and a course on datacommunications. These two courses provided introductions to data science skills throughproject-based learning. Project-based learning is an approach to learning that prioritizes learningthrough action rather than passive learning through lectures. The two new

the rapid increase in demandfor robotics and automation engineers, failure to define MRE through standardized curricula andaccreditation criteria risks missed career opportunities for individuals and missed economicopportunities for industry. By defining a common set of knowledge and skills for MRE programsand courses, students and employers will understand the abilities a graduate should possess andstudents will develop the technical foundation and professional skills that are critical to fulfill theresearch and development needs for advanced mechatronic and robotic systems [5,6].The authors believe MRE has matured to the point where it is a distinct and identifiableengineering discipline. Indeed, several universities have developed programs

feedback that provides the students with further contextabout how the presentation was received by each of the evaluators.Grading for Growth MindsetMuch of the messaging around professionalism grading focuses on an idea of growth andcontinuous improvement. By framing a ‘3’ as “student engineer”, a ‘4’ as “engineering intern”,and a ‘5’ as “professional engineer”, students recognize that they are able (and expected) to growand improve throughout their educational and professional career. In some cases, expectationsare clear and measurable (e.g. turning things in on time, communicating absences ahead of time).In other cases, professionalism is subjective to the evaluator and context. The IRE 5-Point scalecreates pathways for both of these types of

thecourse include the deployment of the same robotic platforms both in simulation and physicalinstances.This course is targeted towards students who want to gain a basic understanding of technologiesused within robotic systems, namely autonomous mobile robots and robotic arms. Uponcompletion of this course, students should be sufficiently versed in robotics to support career rolesin a broad range of industries related to robotics. The course provides an introductory foundationthat should support further in-depth study of fundamental robotics technologies.Assessment methods Given the aforementioned circumstances that combined into thedevelopment of this graduate-level course, several assessment methods were considered topromote student engagement
