For instance, Worcester PolytechnicInstitute (WPI) has offered a Bachelor of Science in Robotics Engineering50 since 2007.Universities that have graduate degrees focused on robotics include Carnegie Mellon University,MIT, UPENN, UCLA, WPI, and the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT).Michigan State University has a well-established Robotics and Automation laboratory, but it isutilized for graduate

The accessof such tech has fallen to specialization roles, where people would defer time to designers andarchitects to develop what is needed. The field of mechanical, let alone general, design will benecessary for future companies and businesses, or even for printing laboratory equipment, as theprocesses and science respectively catches up to the industry. However, whilst the science, math, and engineering components are catching up, thetechnological side is faltering. More time and effort is being pressed onto designers, and the fieldhas pushed forward to where the design work is brought upon those

Thatarc may be an entire semester/class or a subset of the class within a set time period. The storytheme and how class elements interact with it help give it structure and rules, and allow studentsto understand connections. Themes can be serious (i.e. technical simulations, real-worldscenarios) or more whimsical (i.e. fantasy, fiction). The story serves to anchor the students andprovide opportunities for engagement with the material, and students’ collective actions candrive and influence the story

in an Engineering ClassroomIntroductionThis research paper describes a study that examines a testing effect intervention deployed in anengineering classroom setting. The testing effect is based on the premise that learning isimproved when students engage with newly acquired information by challenging themselves toanswer questions about the content instead of using other means of interacting with the content,such as rereading a text. The testing effect has been established in laboratory research studies[1]. To translate this finding into educational practice, classroom research studies [2]-[6] aim todefine the conditions for which the testing effect remains robust in authentic classroom settings.In the classroom domain, a testing effect

The course interactivelydeveloped student's understanding of: the product design process, project management skills, andengineering practice principles while keeping track of the economic aspects of the design. Theteam based approach provided students with the opportunity to discuss alternative design ideasand work on their communication and interpersonal skills [6].
