For the EET mechatronicsconcentration area this will materialize in introducing EET courses such as: Introduction toProgramming, Introduction to Networking, Advanced PLCs and Industrial Networking,Advanced Motion Control Systems. These courses will be also good choices for the METmechatronics concentration area, to fulfill the EET minor requirements associated with METmechatronics specialization. Furthermore, a CAD design course should also be included into theEET mechatronics curriculum, either from the existing MET courses or as a new coursespecifically designed for EET students.

One approach for accomplishing thistask is the Delphi method, which is a structured communication process that facilitates consensusbuilding among experts about a complex topic or problem14-16. While there are many types ofDelphi procedures reported in the literature, most use multiple iterations of questionnaires tocollect opinions from participants. Throughout these iterations, controlled feedback, in whichrespondents’ scores and comments are compiled and distributed to
