Currently, many undergraduate andfirst-year graduate students in the aforementioned fields do not have exposure to recent researchtrends in Machine Learning. This paper reports on a project in progress, funded by the NationalScience Foundation under the program Combined Research and Curriculum Development(CRCD), whose goal is to remedy this shortcoming. The project involves the development of amodel for the integration of Machine Learning into the undergraduate curriculum of thoseengineering and science disciplines mentioned above. The goal is increased exposure toMachine Learning technology for a wider range of students in science and engineering than iscurrently available. Our approach of

Eachsession focuses on a topic that is related to the instructor’s specialty, yet all the sessions have acommon component: for the first few weeks, students and instructors engage in a discussion ofthe meaning of liberal arts education and its implications for HMC. In addition to completing theCommon Core, every student at HMC is required to take at least ten courses in HSA, with atleast four courses in an area of concentration. The engineering curriculum at HMC consists ofthree stems: design, engineering sciences, and system. The design stem includes three

The resources required, both time and monetary, are minimized in several ways.Low cost, but flexible and current, components are selected, which minimizes costs to theuniversity or student. The investment is further leveraged by using the components in multiplecourses throughout the curriculum and allowing students to maintain possession of thecomponents for independent learning and capstone projects. Integrating the componentsacross multiple courses also simplifies managing replacement parts, if desired. Judiciousselection of components and projects can also

Another event that the UT-Austin student chapter attempts every year is a seminar aboutpreparing a curriculum vitae and beginning an academic job search (Figure 2).

This new course was developed to balance the requirement to incorporate relevant newcontent into the curriculum with the need to limit curriculum overload. This course wasdesigned to satisfy these constraints by integrating the relevant biological science materials intoan existing chemistry course. Since the new content represented about forty percent as muchmaterial as was included in the existing course, some of the existing content needed to beremoved. An additional constraint was then to make sure that content needed to prepare studentsfor follow-up courses was retained. This could be accomplished in two ways

It is a requirement that any systems engineer have both breadthand depth in various niches of engineering poses an interesting problem in the development ofany pedagogy relative to the instruction of key systems engineering fundamentals. Thesefundamentals include design alternative identification, cost assessments, interface integration,risk identification, and many others2.

an integral part of product design, manufacturing, and use. Today, mostcompanies sell their products in different global markets and this requires consideration ofcustomer needs and ergonomics of users from these different markets. Moreover, productdesigners should consider ergonomics to enhance sustainability and maintainability of products.Recent advancements in computer technology in the last two decades have contributed to thedevelopment of computer simulations for ergonomics. Such simulations are known as DigitalHuman Modeling (DHM) and are used to assess the performance of human operators in theworkplace. DHM can also be integrated with Computer Aided Design (CAD) to evaluate theergonomics of product designs.2. Related LiteratureIn the
