It is widely observed that weare living in an era of accelerating change and increasingly global society, driven by thegrowth of new knowledge, together with the rapidly evolving information andcommunication technologies (Grasso et al., 2010). The dynamic challenges and exponentialopportunities in the 21st century call for a shift in our thinking on engineering practice andeducation.The exciting future of engineering is “beyond technological labels” (e.g., mechanical Page 25.372.2engineer, electrical engineer, and chemical engineer), which represents for a “morecross-disciplinary, whole-systems approach to engineering that “emphasizes

Those who aren’t on the integration team were assigned to the enclosure andinterface construction. Plexiglas and wood have been popular materials since they were readilyavailable and easily cut and drilled to construct an enclosure for the circuits.

This objective also includes successfully providing students with awareness of,and experience with, the iterative nature of design throughout the design cycle.

The traditional inability to leverageresources across disciplines often means that emerging technologies do not become part of theengineering curriculum until they are very mature.This problem becomes especially apparent in a multidisciplinary area like manufacturing.Georgia Tech does not have a "School of Manufacturing," so how do we handle the hundreds ofIndustrial, Electrical, Aerospace, Materials and Mechanical Engineering students who want tolearn about manufacturing?

Allowing students with a poor foundation to continueleads to propagation of student misunderstanding. In the mastery approach adopted in thispaper, passing the course requires students to demonstrate mastery in each of 12subtopics within statics. Sequential mastery in each topic was strictly enforced. Forexample, students with a poor understanding of vectors are unable to continue to a moreadvanced topic until they improve their ability to perform vector math.

Also, the problem scope will be extendedfrom conceptual design to control logic design and mechanical system design. Ultimately wehope to have a complete system that can be used not only by undergraduate students, but also byhigh school students and industry professionals.
