As part of its responsive educational mission, AFIT formulated a new Page 12.482.3combating WMD graduate education program specifically aimed at meeting these needs.Initiating the Program Even with a well-established tradition of research and education on weapon effects in
institutions. For example, SJSU will emphasize its Pillar 3for the computer and microelectronics manufacturing industries, whereas an institution in the State of Michiganmight target the automotive industry. Both courses, ME 105 and ME 190 in the above list were proposed asPillar 1 courses, with other three as being Pillar 3 courses. The proposed Mechatronic Engineering Laboratory,along with six existing laboratories will serve ME 105 and ME 190 and constitute a principal element for thePillar 2 experience. The relationship between designated mechatronics courses and laboratories has been 2presented in ref. . The proposal was forwarded to the Course and Curriculum Program of the Division ofUndergraduate Education of the NSF in June

DescriptionThis program facilitates the creation and delivery of a carefully designed curriculum whichenables students of diverse educational backgrounds, to move seamlessly from highschool, to community college program, to university, Figure (1). Students can choose tojoin the workforce at any stage of the program. By successfully articulating educational Page 8.914.1programs, refining curricula, delivering faculty enhancement workshops, and offeringstudents a valuable industry experience, the program aims to establish itself as a nationalmodel.

Engineering (MSOE) began a thorough reviewof its BME curriculum. The curriculum had been relatively stable for about 12 years with smallchanges made to keep the curriculum current with changes in technology. To meet the need forcontinuous improvement, the faculty undertook a redesign of the entire curriculum in an effort toincorporate new educational techniques and modern engineering concepts. Because of the time ittakes to complete a complete curricular change, as well as the time between these large changes,the faculty spent considerable time ensuring the curriculum effectively and efficiently metcurrent and perceived future needs of the program and its constituents. Most of the current andperceived future needs were determined from the Engineer of

The relevanceof teaching these topics have been of interest since the establishment of the Joint TastForce on Computing Curricula 2001 by the Computer Society of the Institute forElectrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the Association for Computer Machinery(ACM) to evaluate the computer curriculum in undergraduate programs.

The motivation for the program was two-fold: it addresses the needs ofthe rapidly growing robotics industry and provides a professional career path matched togrowing student interest as demonstrated by numerous high school robotics competitions. Theprogram is a collaborative effort between the departments of Computer Science, Electrical andComputer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering and relies in part on already existingcourses. The core curriculum, however, consists of five new “unified
