Surprisingly, upon finalizing the laboratory exercise, a portion of the studentsreturned their reports with estimations of the power that were several orders of magnitude off thenominal motor values.An article written by Kay10 suggested that the robotics curriculum content of the course shouldbe focused on the topics that are interesting to the student, as an example she presented a list oftopics that would be suited to fit better the skills of a specific major, but not those of the othertwo majors. Kay’s argument for tailored curriculum content stemmed from her frustration intrying to find a robotics textbook that would cover specific topics relative to robotics forundergraduates in her major area

undergraduate program with little designexperience in between.In recent years, as conceptions of engineering design thinking have broadened and become morecomplex [3], the capstone-cornerstone curriculum model has been shown to be inadequate [12].Consequently, there are now programs that are taking an integrated design approach wheredesign experiences are incorporated throughout the curriculum [13], [14]. This gives students amore holistic engineering design experience, allows time for design thinking to develop, andexposes students to various design scenarios. For example, the biomedical engineeringdepartment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison requires that students enroll in six semestersof design courses. Students work in teams to solve a real

The point of the individual discussion was not to delve too deeply into a particulardisaster or individual ethical decision, necessitating a decision tree or other analyticalformalisms. Rather, the purpose of each debate was to extend the thinking of the students andinfuse an ethical framework from which to view historical and current events with theexpectation that this approach would follow the students to more focused case studies that theywould see in the latter part of the engineering curriculum.
