Currently, the degree has a single focus area in Mechatronics,preparing students for careers in the design, development, implementation and support ofelectromechanical systems that are controlled through embedded hardware and software. The MXET degree is now being expanded to include new additional focus areas. The firstone of these areas is STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) TeacherPreparation. In collaboration with the College of Education, a MXET focus area is beingcustomized to produce graduates who can sit for their Mathematics/Science/Engineeringcertification and who can teach at the

Withindustry assistance and funding, students work on faculty/student industry projects andfaculty/company directed capstone senior design projects, as a bridge between education and thework environment. Through our Engineer-In-Residence program, Technology graduate studentsare placed at companies and supported for a semester long “in-house” project. There are manyother avenues used to provide pathways between industry and academics.We have developed a strong triangle which links student, industry, and university.

In cooperative learningspecifically, structured group activities where students pursue a common goal and requirecollaboration to reach the goal are used. In particular, there is a focus on cooperative incentivesinstead of competition so as to promote learning. Available evidence suggests that faculty shouldstructure their courses to promote collaborative and cooperative environments.

As a result, students who have a good understanding of theory andconcepts of RTOS do not have the opportunity to map their knowledge onto real-worldimplementations. To bridge the gap between conceptual understanding and concreteimplementations, an embedded RTOS educational platform has been established for EETstudents in the Department of Engineering Technology & Industrial Distribution at Texas A&MUniversity as well as in the Engineering Technology program at Northern Kentucky University.This paper only focuses on hardware design and development of the embedded RTOS platform.The laboratory curriculum development and student learning outcomes/feedback will

The result for these innovative methods would be to help to ensure aseamless transition from obtaining knowledge and skills to being career ready and enjoyinglifelong learning (Patterson, 2011). Education disruptors, a term used to describe those who promote the use of technology ineducation and want fast and agile change implemented in P-20 (Robinson, 2013). Being adisruptor in education is not considered a bad approach. However, some education leaders andtechnologists think that education disruptors are not effective leaders because they are notmaintaining the expected

The benefits of robotics, however, depend on workers with up-to-date knowledge and skills to maintain and use existing robots, enhance future technologies, andeducate users. It is critical that education institutions respond to the demand for roboticsspecialists by offering courses and professional certification in robotics and automation.

bearings. To reduce noise, these bearingsroll on custom 3D-printed plastic inlays set into the top grooves of the structural aluminummembers. The carriage is propelled by a stepper motors which turns roller blade wheels. Themotor uses simple on/off control and is actuated to produce a carriage speed of approximatelyone foot per second. The roller blade wheels also ride along the top-groove of the structuralmembers. Lateral motion is limited by brackets which keeps the wheels on track.
