Topics suchas product safety and liability, professional ethics and environmental considerations will also becovered. The students will also explore engineering design and analysis through a three-weekmechatronic system project. During this project, students will learn a new technology throughanalysis of past product designs, be trained in that technology, define and develop a new product,and produce a presentation on that new product.Assessment of the Pilot ProgramAssessment of the program will consist of two parts: the courses and the program. Two surveyshave been developed and will be administered to assess the
