Students and professors on an 'engineering andarchitecture' team would design energy-efficient homes and offices while those on a 'marketingand psychology' team would devise a public education campaign that gets people to walk insteadof drive. A business expert and researcher/teacher would manage each team.While this model may seem far-fetched to the average academic, its real-world orientation is ananswer to law

This education happens formally, through course, project, and off-campusexperiences, and informally, through international robotics events. Taken together, these formaland informal activities and programs can give robotics engineers the global mindset demanded ofthe modern engineer.1. INTRODUCTIONRobotics—the combination of sensing, computation and actuation in the real world—as adistinct field is an idea whose time has come [1]. Traditionally, engineers working in therobotics industry have been mostly trained in a single science or engineering discipline.Typically, those are computer engineering (CE), computer science (CS), electrical engineering

There has been a significant shift where studentbehavior in the classroom which would have been considered unacceptable is now acceptable (orat least should be tolerated), and likewise instructor behavior which was once acceptable (or atleast tolerated) is now unacceptable. The accepted norms are not solely based on the perspectiveof the instructor. When an instructor doesn’t adjust to the changing norms, they can findthemselves unsupported by the University in a conflict with a student. This paper focuses
