As such, during the development of a curriculum about automationtechnologies, programming, and AI techniques, socio-demographic background, and previousexperience in handling robotics technology should be considered to make the learning processeasier for CM students.Few studies have explored the benefits of integrating automation and simulation-relatedcurriculum that fosters technological skills among STEM students.

step towards realization of many of the goals in The Engineer of 2020. We have applied the lessons learned in an earlier effort at the College of Engineering, Michigan State University (MSU), lead by the first author of this report. Both the work at MSU and the recent, continuing work at MichTech are endeavors to help meet the call of the NAE sixteen years ago. Across many disciplines, we have constructed a program curriculum that builds an integrated engineering experience on the foundations of technical courses from a cross-section of different engineering disciplines, mathematics courses, physical and social sciences courses, business courses, and humanities courses. We have built a set of new core courses within

Formation of Engineers (RFE)(EEC-1824856 and EEC-1824859). The primary goal of this project is to develop and testengineering education modules that link K-12 students’ classroom learning to field tripexperiences in an interactive science museum, increasing student learning and extending the fieldtrip experiences. Each Engineering Explorations module consists of one 50-minute field tripprogram completed at an interactive science center and curriculum for three 50-minute lessons tobe implemented by the classroom teacher before (2 lessons) and after (1 lesson) the field tripprogram. Our paper will present both development and research outcomes.Development accomplishments. To date, we have developed and tested 3 field trip programswith over 5,000 K-12

Real industry design experience, however, was missing inthe first three years of the program. Hence, a separate design course sequence, where freshmen,sophomores, and juniors come together each spring to work on authentic design projectsmentored by practicing engineers, was added to the curriculum. In this new VIDP sequence,integrated teams consisting of freshmen, sophomores and juniors learn practice skills such asdesign principles, team dynamics, project management, communication, etc., throughexperiential learning

first-year engineering students’learning experience [1-3]. Engineering education saw the birth of the many faces of integrationlike multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, and transdisciplinarity. Most studies agree that ifarranged according to the increasing level of complexity of integration, multidisciplinarityshould come first as having the lowest level and transdisciplinarity on the top with the highestlevel of integration [4]. In this study, we employed the lens of transdisciplinarity by combiningmetacognition, systems thinking, and empathy in an introductory engineering course. Theeducation literature on transdisciplinarity [5-7] acknowledges that generally, current highereducation practice does not yet effectively train students as
