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.

to engineering in the K-12 classroom. The first pertains to the levelof integration for engineering curriculum, while the other concerns the type of service. Due to its relatively nascent emergence, a foremost challenge to the integration ofengineering curricula into the precollege educational experience is determining where in theacademic landscape it belongs. Here lies an important dilemma facing education reformers:should precollege engineering education exist for the sake of engineering and technology literacyor should it exist as a backdrop and a means to promote science and math content learning? Byits nature, engineering requires the synthesis and practical application of diverse contentknowledge in an endeavor toward

At the University of Houston, we focus on hands-on learning in our curriculum. We begin byintroducing Arduino and Matlab in our freshmen introductory level course, ECE 1331: Computerand Problem Solving. In spring 2016, students have the opportunity to program Arduino usingMatlab in conjunction with an LED matrix to design a game as other institutions [1-4] have alsoused Arduino in their classrooms with great success. Although Dr. Marpaung has received apositive feedback in regards to using a Zumo bot in classroom [5], he believes that he can alsoenhance students’ hands-on learning experience by offering them a different set of projectsinvolving an LED matrix.

In mostsections of the class, a typical class meeting consisted of a lecture in which the instructorintroduced a type of differential equation and showed the students how to identify and solve thattype of differential equation. The students then completed a worksheet that had them repeat theprocess that the professor just demonstrated on one or more examples of that type of differentialequation. In short, students were trained to be good at mimicking a process and identifying whento use that process.

As we move to a more carbon-constrained world,businesses will ultimately have to meet customer needs in a way that generates fewer carbonemissions. Therefore, it is essential to bridge current engineering education to sustainableproduct design, manufacturing, and processes, which requires new curriculum development,research, and manufacturing experiences, as presented in this paper.This paper presents the approach used at our institution to integrate sustainability engineeringcontent into the engineering curriculum at our university and to
