The junior level courses, RBE 3001 and RBE3002, build on this foundation to ensure that students understand the analysis of selectedcomponents and learn system-level design and development of a robotic system includingembedded design.This paper discusses the development of a two-course sequence in undergraduate roboticseducation, Unified Robotics I and II, in detail. Learning outcomes and sample schedulesillustrating our approach to designing a new robotics engineering program at the undergraduatelevel are presented. The paper exemplifies the robotics systems designed by the students withinthe scope of laboratory experiences and course projects. Finally

So we have to keep ourmeans and ends straight” 4. With the inevitable increase in the use of computers in engineeringapplications, a solution to this problem of inaccurate modeling is quickly needed.A unique laboratory exercise was recently developed to address the problem of inaccuratemodeling.

Design using the materials at a system (building) level is then taughtin a laboratory format. In this later format, the students prepare complete constructiondocuments (structural calculations, structural plans and structural specifications) for realmasonry structures using architectural plans. Understanding of the construction process ofmasonry structures is highly emphasized in the process of preparing the construction documents.As a result of this two tier coverage of design of masonry structures, graduates from this programhave earned a reputation in California of “being ready on day one” after
