prevalence and importance of collaboration in engineering research and development cannotbe overstated. Real-world problems are complex and multi-dimensional, thus requiring expertisefrom across multiple domains to problem-solve effectively, calling for training in multi-disciplinary skills as essential for engineering graduates [5]. Outcome-based curriculumdevelopment followed by most universities is aimed at developing engineers better prepared forthe workplace. Several engineering educators [6] - [8] have also strongly advocated for teachingstudents more real-world engineering team operations. However, many students entering theworkforce over the last many decades persistently remain underprepared for and unfamiliar withthe opportunities or

has been successful in obtaining funding and publishing for various research projects. She’s also the founder and advisor of the first ASEE student chapter in Puerto Rico at UPRM. Currently, she serves as Academic Senator and Faculty Representative at the Administrative Board at UPRM. Her research interests include investigating students’ understanding of difficult concepts in engineering sciences, especially for underrepresented populations (Hispanic students). She has studied the effectiveness of engineering concept inventories (Statics Concept Inventory - CATS and the Thermal and Transport Concept Inventory - TTCI) for diagnostic assessment and cultural differences among bilingual students. She has also

Table 5: Stakeholder Requirementsstrategies, the MRC lab will cultivate an educational setting that prepares graduates to makemeaningful contributions as soon as they enter the workforce.This approach to the design, of the MRC Lab reflects a multidisciplinary perspective, integrat-ing aspects of mechatronics, robotics, and control to create a dynamic environment for learningand innovation. Here, students, researchers, and practitioners can engage in practical problem-solving, collaborate across disciplines, and develop new technologies and solutions focused onrobotic dexterity and precision.Furthermore, the Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) for the MRC Lab, as detailed in Table6, are defined and related to the stakeholder requirements. They are
