This led to a program in Topeka in the 1980’s, administered jointly by KSU and the Universityof Kansas (KU). Courses were cross listed and students could get graduate credit at either KSU or KU.

ConstructivismAs the CIM unit had no prerequisites it is necessary to proceed from the assumption thatstudents had no previous computer hardware technology education. Constructivism suggeststhe starting point for the explanations was the student’s own experiences. A top downapproach was used rather than proceeding from basic electronics concepts upwards 16. Forexample storage and throughput requirements are made initially from concepts such as files,and filing cabinets are equated with computer secondary memory. Freeways and slower roadsare compared to computer buses and slower data paths within a computer. Students also notethe changes wrought by upgrades and

understand the physicalprinciples and design parameters for the product. Redesign completes the methodology with achoice of three avenues for product improvement: parametric, adaptive, and original.The execution of this process in the present course begins by giving the students a householdproduct to reverse engineer and redesign. The students are initially asked to predict how theythink the product should work and gather customer requirements for later use in a QFD matrix(House-of-Quality). They then conceptualize both black box and more refined models of thepredicted product’s functionality and possible physical solutions (without taking the productapart). Only after this predictive phase is completed do they actually disassemble the product.They

The project described here attempts to do that.A fundamental aspect of PBL is students working together in teams and solving problemscollectively [23]. Springer et al. conducted a meta-analysis of research studies considering theimpact of group learning on undergraduate science, mathematics, engineering, and technology(SMET) students [24]. They wrote, “Students who learn in small groups generally demonstrategreater academic achievement, express more favorable attitudes toward learning, and persistthrough SMET courses or programs to a greater extent than their more traditionally taughtcounterparts.” One study

The majority of this support has been in the form of grantsthat fund projects or resource centers or centers of excellence that promote the dissemination ofinformation about new emerging technologies, provide faculty development opportunities, orintroduce/ research innovative teaching methods. One of the broad areas that the NSF-ATEprogram emphasizes is advanced manufacturing at the two-year college level. As notedpreviously, the ASEE Workforce 4.0 initiative also addressed two-year college technicianeducation but not as expansively as four-year engineering education.

The initial wiring used the 2 H-Bridge motor controllers tocontrol the three suitable side motors and three left side motors. Students could then experimentwith driving the motor forward, backward, and turn. Once the robotic base was up and running,one of the experiments we did was to have the motors travel a fixed distance; students measuredthe time of the excursion and calculated the motor speed. Students were then tasked withdesigning code to move the robot in a rectangular path. Fig 5. Wiring Information 4.

It is actually anextension of the classroom, where the intern transitions the theory they have learned intopractice. In order to accomplish this, the intern needs to have the majority of curriculumaccomplished affording them a wide knowledge base.

Theprimary goal of the program is to educate engineers for the 21st century, the “enterprisingengineers” envisioned by Tryggvason and Apelian [15], who “knows everything, can doanything, collaborates, and innovates.” These words succinctly capture the notion that futureengineers must be able to find and use information quickly, understand and use the tools toaccomplish any task with

Administrative support is essential; without it, the author’s sabbaticalplans to develop this curriculum would not have been possible. Even with initial success, gainingwidespread adoption among engineering faculty remains challenging, as structural change within academiais inherently slow and difficult.A third concern raised by faculty is skepticism about the curriculum’s breadth and depth: “You arecompressing three courses into one. Either you are leaving out important material that we need, or you arecreating a course that is too difficult.” This perception presents another hurdle, requiring carefulcommunication of the curriculum’s
