A steady increase in enrollment numbers andpositive feedback from student evaluations demonstrate the benefits of this curriculum.IntroductionLaboratory and project-oriented teaching1 is becoming more prevalent in engineering. Project-oriented instruction can ingrain theoretical concepts by challenging students to apply theory indesign settings where they must

The oldcurriculum is many years old and needs to be re-vamped. I was invited to be a member ofa committee selected to help provide input and advice for the university. The committeehas re-vamped the curriculum and made drastic changes to it to meet current needs.In this paper, we provide information about the old and new curriculum. We

thecourse, but in the context of a real-world application such as the design of a simple power supplyor electronic control system, they can be made to understand the importance of those learningobjectives in relation to a larger system. The learning will take on real meaning, and as a result,students will be better able to apply their knowledge to similar future real-world applications.Adopting a systems-level approach to engineering technician education is a natural catalyst forhelping faculty move towards a more interdisciplinary curriculum. For example, when presentingstudents in an electric circuits course with specific systems-level applications (e.g., an industrialrobot), other aspects of the system such as motor control software, printed

Recognizingthat it is impossible to include a comprehensive course of study equivalent to a BS in CS, ECE,and ME in a 4-year degree, the new RBE program provides a solid foundation in each, withapplications drawn from Robotics. In keeping with WPI’s educational approach, the curriculumengages students early and often in creative hands-on projects.The core of the program consists of five new courses: an entry-level course and four “unifiedrobotics” courses based on a “spiral curriculum” philosophy, where the students are engaged inincreasingly complex
