The motivation for the program is twofold: First of all, the dramatic drop in the costof sensors, computers and actuators is making possible entirely new classes of products, capableof both automating nontrivial tasks as well as performing functions not possible before.Secondly, robotics has proven to be an excellent means to excite pre-college students aboutscience, technology, and engineering. While much of the technical foundation for the newprogram is drawn from Computer Science, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, we believethat Robotics Engineering is on the path to emerging as an independent discipline with its ownintellectual goals and body of knowledge. Thus, graduates from the program are expected

As discussed in a report to the European commission authored by Walter Staheland Genevie Reday, circular economies and thereby emerged as a potential solution to gapingeconomic loops and their significant impact on waste. Stahel suggested a ‘closed loop’ process.A ‘closed loop’ allows for waste to be reused as inputs for the system.

We have beenfinding two reasons [3]: Copyright concerns—some instructors had taken their material fromtextbooks, and some of them were thinking of including it in books they were writing—anddiffidence—many instructors just simply didn’t think that their work was good enough to beviewed by people at other schools.

-Normative Identities in the Cultures of Engineering (InIce)Introduction to the ProjectTraditionally, engineering culture has limited rather than fostered diversity in engineering. Toaddress this persistent issue, we examine how diverse students identify with engineering andnavigate the culture of engineering. We define diversity not by making a priori categorizationsaccording to traditional demographic information (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.), butinstead by investigating the variation in students’ attitudinal profiles on a host of affectivemeasures. Using these measures, we develop an identification of large, “normative” groups ofengineers as well as “non-normative” students who emerge as having distinct
