The design of professionalgraduate education for creative engineering practitioners, who are emerging as innovators andleaders of technology development in industry, requires a different professional curriculum andapproach than that presently used for the graduate education of academic research scientists. Itrequires a different type of faculty, approach, and focus.4.

Accordingly, it is essential tointroduce realistic robots to all engineering students, not only those majoring in robotic-centric programs so that theyare well prepared for the modern workplace. When students learn about robots with scaled-down models or withoutmodels, they risk not adequately appreciating the physical scale, abilities, and dangers associated with real-worldrobots. That said, industrial-scale robots are expensive to acquire and maintain and access to them may be restricted:requiring elevated privileges or requiring time-sharing between students. Therefore, it is vital to develop a cheaperand more accessible educational alternative that offers all the benefits of a real industrial robot. This

Introduction In an era of ever-changing technology, American education authorities found that theelementary and high schools could not provide their students with necessary knowledge andskills of science and technology. Since 1980s, America has aggressively been improving thecurriculum of science, engineering and mathematics. Therefore, in 1985, AmericanAssociation for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) launched a long-term project called“Project 2061” that committed to reform science, mathematics and technology education.

and design activities, versus the splitting of each course in at least two components. • The teaching of the course in an integrated class-studio-lab setup. • The keeping of one course at a level usually fit for electrical engineering students for all engineering students in the department.These choices spring from the philosophy and needs of the engineering education atElizabethtown College, where a broad curriculum is viewed as a major strength and small sizeclasses are usually offered. These choices are also compatible with the practical perspective ofhow many courses, overall, the department can teach with its current faculty

Page 25.841.3Project Specific Goals and OutcomesThe challenge, presented to the students, aims to take the study of engineering design to the nextlevel by incorporating faculty on-going research into the educational process and to motivate theundergraduates with real-world problems. The students work in multidisciplinary environments,take the theoretical ideas and implement them with limited guidance.The goal of the modified class curriculum was to give the engineering undergraduates the abilityto understand and apply design tools and skills such as:(1) sketching and drawing, in order to communicate design ideas in the team environment (seeFigure 1, representing students’ work);(2) kinematics, in order to understand what will work and what not

adopting different ethical topics and pedagogicsthan most other ethics-teaching educators they surveyed (n = 1159). Their data, however, showedthat there was more disagreement than consensus among research participants with respect to theoverall effectiveness of the 35 potential exemplars and the extent to which participants would bepersonally interested in using them, making the researchers acknowledge that there will unlikelyever be a “‘one size fits all’ approach” to ethics education. While faculty in general agree thatengineering ethics should be incorporated into multiple courses in the curriculum, those whoteach traditional, more technical courses are less likely to think that ethics should be taught intheir own courses [29, p. 15], despite
