Multidisciplinary Engineering

Curriculum: Unified Robotics I and IIAbstractRobotics Engineering (RBE) is a new undergraduate degree program at the WorcesterPolytechnic Institute (WPI). As of the fall semester of 2008, the program is the fourth largestdiscipline at the institution in terms of freshman enrollment. At the core of the curriculum arefour signature courses called Unified Robotics I-IV. The goal of these courses is to introducestudents to the multidisciplinary theory and practice of robotics engineering, integrating thefields of computer science, electrical and computer engineering and mechanical engineering. Thesophomore level courses, RBE 2001 and RBE 2002, introduce students to the foundationalconcepts of robotics such as kinematics

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Memphishas decided to use the DACUM (Designing A CurriculUM) process as one of the major sourcesof industrial input to modification of the undergraduate program to better prepare graduates forimmediate entry into a manufacturing environment. The DACUM process captures thisinformation and documents it in a structured format called a DACUM chart. DACUM is aninnovative approach to occupational analysis.

We are continuing to refine thesetools and develop new deliverables that will help the students overcome the challenges we haveobserved in the Fall of 2011.This analysis has revealed the need for an assessment rubric that shows the iterative designprocess along a spectrum of project performance.

The new designs from ecological engineering are generally less expensive or have lower energy intensity than traditional approaches and they often result in more environmentally sound systems or decisions. These qualities of ecological engineering designs (less economic cost and greater environmental value) are bringing more attention to the discipline from decision makers, who seek to implement the designs, and from educators, who must decide how to incorporate the information into university curricula. In this paper the efforts at the University of Maryland towards developing an ecological engineering curriculum are described. There are two purposes of the paper: 1) we
