IntroductionThe reshoring of manufacturing in the United States requires a retraining of a workforce toutilize advanced manufacturing tools and techniques and automation [1]. Automation requirestraining in mechatronics, which integrates mechanical and electrical systems to developautomated systems that are controlled with programming. Mechatronics is the foundation ofautomated systems and has become not only a need to shorten the current manufacturing skillsgap [2], but also serves as a platform to provide STEM education. Mechatronics is an important area of study for several STEM related fields, butspecifically for the applied ones such as Engineering Technology (ET). ET as a discipline hasexisted

As part of a larger initiative to integrate traditional technical skills withenhanced social awareness into the engineering curriculum, a two-part module emphasizing theenvironmental and social design considerations of sustainability was added to an existing moduleseries in a third-year Materials Science course.

Each year, multigenerational biomedical engineering (BME) teams ofupper level undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty interview post graduatestakeholders to identify critical professional and technical skills for recent graduates. Informationfrom these interviews are then used to inform the development of short, 1-credit modules, for earlycareer BME undergraduates.

-discipline problem solving skill is particularly difficult to acquire with conventional curriculum structure lacking inter- disciplinary consideration [10]. In such situations, the problems students are trained to solve tend to be confined within the respective discipline. For example, ME students might have difficulty identifying the stress-related issue in an interconnect with an IC chip, even though they have the skill to conduct stress analysis in a composite beam. This course was designed to provide students with unfamiliar cross-disciplinary problems in microelectronics reliability, requiring them to identify prior knowledge within their discipline for technical judgement and analysis.• Interdisciplinary teamwork
