Introduction With the changes in the ABET 2000 criteria, universities have considerably more freedom indefining “sufficient” coverage in their curricula. With this freedom comes uncertainty in findingthe right mix between depth and breadth for the fast paced microelectronics field. Another issuein preparing students for this field is not only

A primary goal of the program is to provide anon-line curriculum that remains TAC-ABET accredited by conforming to TAC-ABETrequirements to ensure the quality of the on-line ARET courses. Development,applications, and testing of our course delivery method are addressed. The curriculumhas been designed to operate in our own interactive web-based environment forsubmission of coursework; concept diagrams, drawings, reports, assorted forms, andprogramming.

Integrating mechatronics content in mechanical engineering curriculum has been achallenge since it has been viewed as a significant deviation from traditional courses. In the past,pedagogical approaches like semester-long, project-based classes, or linking mechatronics toother engineering disciplines, have been used to integrate mechatronics into the mechanicalengineering curriculum, with varying results. Furthermore, teaching an interdisciplinary class ofthis nature within a semester is a difficult pedagogical endeavor. To overcome these issues, thetopics and

common dilemma when considering the undergraduate curriculum is the proper balancebetween “teaching fundamental theory” versus “teaching applied software”. While theestablishment of a sound base of engineering fundamentals within our students is perhaps theprimary goal of the undergraduate curriculum, increasingly there is a legitimate incentive toexpose students to the proper use of different engineering software tools in preparation for theirprofessional careers. While efforts to include such computational techniques have included thedevelopment of an elective upper-level undergraduate course1, the practical difficulty ofimplementing these changes within and throughout the curriculum, and in particular thedifficulty of integrating software

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].
