].This paper contributes toward filling this skills gap through the description and application of an after-school experiential learning program, Cobots for Kids, for middle school students. The program goal wasto develop an age-appropriate, hands-on learning experience to introduce collaborative robotics andadvanced manufacturing to middle school students in an engaging way to gain their interest in themanufacturing field. The Cobots for Kids program, led by Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI),particularly involves students from underrepresented (i.e. from minority groups based on gender, race orethnicity) and underserved (i.e. from low-income communities) student groups, who may lack access tosuch educational programs and resources due to
(ABET) criteria 2000. In Criterion 4 – ProfessionalComponent it states that “students must be prepared for engineering practice through thecurriculum culminating in a major design experience … incorporating engineering standards andrealistic constraints that include … economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability,ethical, health and safety, social and political.” Discipline specific criteria, such as in chemicalengineering, further specify that engineers must have “safety and environmental aspects”included in the curriculum.

We teach our students the importance of process in software engineering; however,we typically fail to incorporate the very fabric of process in the way we teach our students 1.Quality Assurance (QA) is based on the idea that improving the process by which a product isdeveloped will result in an improved product 2.

Copyright © 2004, American Society for Engineering Education In order to emphasize the need for the proposed curriculum changes, the current freshmanyear curriculum for Mechanical Engineering is shown in Table 1. In order to advance into theirsophomore years, students are expected to complete MTH 229 Calc I, MTH 230 Calc II andMTH 231 Calc III during their first three quarters at the University. This is the case for theremainder of engineering majors in the College, and is standard practice in engineering programsacross the country. No wonder students who struggle in calculus end up switching majors! It is proposed herein that by structuring the curriculum in the traditional fashion, we areeffectively telling those students who

In the modern world, almost all design and technological development is collaborative, and learning how to do that with colleagues in different disciplines is critical to success and learning (McCormick, 2004). 3. Providing a diversified curriculum: It will be increasingly important to create courses that utilize traditional classroom instruction and online supporting materials from disciplines, to define standards for courses shared across disciplines, and make available distance-learning opportunities that increase opportunities for diversified education.
