It is apparent thatcollaboration with Chinese universities on E&T education will help further our understandingsof the needs and the developing trends for engineering and technology professionals. This article explores the potentials and issues of collaborating with Chinese universities forE&T education from a curriculum perspective.

In order to introduce robotics and cyber-physicalsystems earlier in the curriculum, we have developed an interface to allow students to remotelycontrol a wireless microcontroller (e.g., Arduino MKR 1010) using MATLAB. This interfacecomprises two halves: 1) a MATLAB class that abstracts UDP commands transmitted over Wi-Fi, and 2) a custom C++ library for receiving, parsing, and responding to commands over UDP,as well as streaming data back to the client. The interface leverages students’ existing knowledgeof MATLAB and bypasses the need for C programming, allowing students to get early exposureto hardware-software

This may indicate a lack of understanding on the part ofstudents as to the meaning of design as a formal process. 2) Students reported learning differentdesign processes in their courses than they had previously seen. This shows a lack of continuityand consistency in how the design process in taught across the curriculum. These conclusionswill inform the exploration of curricular changes. Several examples of the design process wereidentified to be considered in developing or adopting a standard design process for inclusion inthe program curriculum. Additionally, steps were outlined that will be taken to collectinformation from faculty in order to identify where and how design is currently taught in coursesacross the

The inclusion of biomedicalcontext is then necessary for a complete learning experience. For simplicity, many traditionalengineering courses are directly incorporated into biomedical engineering curricula with little orno modification, but the curriculum as a whole must address biomedical applications of thesetraditional engineering topics.

While the plan of study outlineswhich courses should be taken at a given time, this is not true for all students. It might bepossible to treat these variations as an admissible error in our estimates, as curricular complexityseems to correlate negatively with empirical completion rates [14,17].Given the promising proprietary simulations [14,17], we are developing an agent-based approachin NetLogo [24] to simulate student flow through the curriculum, as it is a methodologyparticularly congruent with the intentions of the simulation.

As a first step,to maintain academic standards in this changing environment, before granted major statusin Electrical Engineering, we propose an admissions test for all students. In addition,undergraduate student performance could be continuously monitored, similar to themonitoring process of international graduate students. Typically, the change in academicenvironment for students also includes the transition from a more personal to a moreanonymous setting. Thus, we propose the creation of a “transfer student

measurement skills practice and allows for impactful hands-on reinforcement of theory and practice on the homework.Our curriculum proposal recommends utilizing the mobile studio approach in as many courses aspossible starting in year one, including lecture-only courses that do not traditionally have a labcomponent. This maximizes the consistent, structured development of measurement skills andincorporation of the hands-on, experiential learning that is the hallmark of MSOE. There aresecondary benefits that may be realized from infusing the mobile approach in a semester-basedcurriculum starting in the first year of study. These benefits include an earlier, one-time learningcurve due to uniformity and consistency of the platform, the ability to
