Since 2000, our program hasundergone both minor and major redesign due to a variety of circumstances:  reduction in the number of credit hours for the degree, from 136 to 128 credit hours, driven by state

This process is often performed on an ad-hoc basiswith various constituents who express conflicting opinions. This study offers a more formalizedapproach to the decision making process applied to curriculum revision by using a weightedfactor index method to remove much of the subjectivity.

The most important thing that I learned from the RET program is the wide variety of fields students can go into within the engineering area, that involve many different levels of education. From the survey, it is clear that many teachers have learned or improved their knowledgein the topics of Computer-aided drafting, design, and manufacturing, Finite element analysis andsimulation, Sustainability and Energy, Thermal / Fluid, Manufacturing processes, 3D printingand robotics, Nanotechnology and materials, and curriculum development.

As of the fall semester of 2011, the program is the seventh largestdiscipline at WPI in terms of undergraduate enrollment. At the core of the curriculum are foursignature courses called Unified Robotics I-IV. The goal of these courses is to introduce studentsto the multidisciplinary theory and practice of robotics engineering, integrating the fields ofcomputer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. The sophomore levelcourses, RBE 2001 and RBE 2002, introduce students to the foundational concepts of roboticssuch as kinematics, pneumatics, circuits, electric motors, sensors, signal processing andembedded system
