Mechatronicseducation at the University of Hartford focuses on four categories; components (sensorsand actuators), computer interfacing electronics, systems (modeling, analysis,simulation, and control), and language-neutral visual programming environments forimplementation. The last category is especially important when one considers the extentof general software knowledge in mechanical engineering and the complexity of thelanguage based software development process for developing real time embeddedapplications.

What level of degree(Certificate, Associates, Bachelors, etc.) was appropriate for most of their employees? What topics shouldbe covered in this degree? Participants were asked to rank material as “essential”, “desirable”, or “notneeded” from a list of topics. Selections included topics from mathematics, physics, computers,humanities, general manufacturing, general electronics, and electronics assembly.

third is the ability to adapt segments fordelivery as short courses to engineers from industry.One of the original motivations behind initiating segmentation was indeed to provide aconvenient mechanism for delivery of educational materials to industrial students. Courses inMaterials Science and Engineering (MSE) were decomposed into segments. Simultaneously, theMSE faculty was developing a new joint master's program in Electronics Packaging withElectrical and Computer Engineering faculty. The potential benefits of course segmentation oncurriculum development soon became apparent.A seed project has been initiated at the Oregon Graduate Institute with the support of theNational Science Foundation.

Some other topics including virtual reality, geographicalinformation system, and emergency management are not found important as well. Oneproportion test indicates that with confidence level of 95% the first 24 topics have been found tobe important to be incorporated into the undergrad IE curriculum by more than 50% of therespondents.5 ConclusionThis paper presents the initial

We are implementing the “design across the curriculum” concept starting withFreshman Engineering, and ending with their Senior capstone design courses. Through the use ofprojects within courses such as the design of a house or a robot, we are introducing students tothe methodology of working in inter-disciplinary teams from the beginning of their studies. Theuse of laptop computers and both wired and wireless technology is an important enabler of theseinitiatives. We expect to continue to evolve in the years to come.Acknowledgments:The authors would like to
