Therefore, devising an efficienteducational pedagogy for the robotics classes of the MET program is desirable.In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems, a project-based pedagogy for the roboticsprogram is devised and implemented in the Department of MET. There are three levels of roboticscourses ranging from ‘introduction’, ‘application’ to ‘advanced’. A series of projectscorresponding to different levels are designed and then are assigned to students. The students learnand practice the fundamental theories

Multidisciplinary Engineering Foundation Spiral includes the use of anEngineering Attitudes Survey to assess specifically the Project-based Introduction to Engineeringcourse. Because non-engineering majors also take this course, the survey allowed us to gatherinformation about students who are interested in science-related fields and yet did not chooseengineering as a major.The purpose of the Engineering Attitudes Survey was to assess students’ perceptions of theengineering profession and of their preparation to study this field. Questions in the survey werestructured so as to provide information that we could use not only to evaluate the progress of ourengineering students in the new curriculum, but also to help us better understand factors that

The complexity of the control room instrumentation displaysallowed critical information to go unnoticed.
