mechanical engineers in the new era of data science and artificial intelligence, engineeringeducators have been urged to integrate these new technological advancements into existingcurriculum to adapt to the fast-changing needs from the future workplace. My effort primarily focuseson implementing an interdisciplinary approach to introduce the concepts and principles of datascience to the undergraduate students of mechanical engineering. I re-designed the class of Statisticsfor Engineering as Data Analytics for Engineering, in which the students can practice new tools usedin data analytics applications while they are still learning the basic statistical principles behind thesetechniques.In this class, the students are exposed to the real-world

Thispaper presents, from the engineering point of view, the required steps by which sustainability canbe built into systems so that it can be practiced by all concerned. In order to do this, it isnecessary to incorporate sustainability concepts into all aspects of studies done by manufacturingengineers. A curriculum approach is developed in this paper based on the results obtained from aquick survey of manufacturing engineering and technologists.1. Introduction Manufacturing systems, though they create material wealth for humans, consume a great amount of resources while generating a lot of waste. The significant portion of the waste generated during the manufacturing processes, at the use phase, and after the end of

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the racialjustice protests that followed, many national organizations issued Black Lives Matter statementsand pledged to redouble their efforts to address the racialized history and impact of science [8],[9]. These statements expressed similar sentiments and commitments to “increasing theparticipation, inclusion, and empowerment of historically underrepresented segments of societyin all venues where [science and engineering] is taught, practiced, and supported.” One approachto fulfilling these commitments is the notion of “decolonizing” the STEM curriculum [10].
