tobe difficult; small-to-midsize institutions may not have the funding available to outfit alaboratory with robotics systems that cost $20k or more per station. Following feedback fromour industry advisory board (IAB) members, as well as industry partners, a need was determinedto find a way to incorporate these topics into the curriculum with our already limited resources.Faculty members presented a solution by retrofitting several outdated robots, currently in ourpossession, with newer technologies. These 30+ year-old robots had been slated for disposal dueto age, but after some exploration, it was determined that they could be salvaged and updated.The project entailed reverse engineering motor driver circuits, developing new hardware

Instructors are commonly led to believe that they must embracethe technology prior to seeing how to best position it in their classroom. This type of approachcan lead to improper utilization of media, instructor frustration, dissatisfaction, and low learnerretention of concepts. The use of rich media in the construction management curriculum isdiscussed and reviewed. An assessment tool is developed for the appropriateness, design,utilization, and refinement of this media in achieving instructional goals, taking inspiration fromthe prime leaders in the field of Educational Technology and Instructional Design, to allowinstructors in construction management to determine the best

This paper examines the impact of spatial visualization skills as measured by thePSVT:R on the students’ confidence levels at the beginning and at the end of their first year in anengineering curriculum. Spatial skills of students selecting different majors are compared todetermine if spatial skills may be a factor in a person’s choice of major (e.g., do mostmechanical engineering majors have highly developed spatial visualization skills while morecomputer engineering majors have less developed spatial visualization skills?).

Although, the integrated curriculum approach was developed in the late-80s, it has notbeen widely adopted due to various obstacles at the individual, departmental, and institutionallevels.

These objectives are achieved by integrating a set ofexperiments – designed to demonstrate a wide spectrum of BME concepts – into core ECEcourses, along with a new elective providing a comprehensive BME overview. Expected outcome of this project is a learning paradigm, serving as a model for integratingnovel content into core engineering curriculum.
