each stage of the fire-fighting robot design, construction, and competition contributestoward improving the desired educational outcomes. INTRODUCTIONRecently, the criteria to evaluate a university engineering program have changed such that theprimary emphasis will be on how well the critical educational outcomes for the individualinstitution are met[1, 2]. To this end, the United States Air Force Academy has designated sevendesired educational outcomes: producing officers with 1. breadth of integrated, fundamentalknowledge; 2. ability to frame and resolve ill-defined problems; 3. effective communicationskills; 4. skills as an independent learner; 5. teamwork skills; 6. intellectual curiosity; and 7

Ministry of Education proposed a three-stage sequential policy,the Emerging Engineering Education (3E) initiative [1]. This 3E initiative encourageduniversities to construct new and revised engineering disciplines and programs and explore talentdevelopment mechanisms. This strategy also gave rise to what terms the New EngineeringTeaching Method (新工科教育模式)[2], [3]. This paper focuses on engineering curriculuminnovation at a university, XXX.In 2018, XXX established the School of System Design and Intelligent Manufacturing (SDIM) toserve as a model for engineering education reform, fostering innovative and entrepreneurialleaders.

Such classes can motivate interested students to stick withthe program, despite early non-aerospace class hurdles.

The television presentation is private, sometimesteaching negative social behavior, provides no opportunity for debate or interaction, tendsto present images rather than logical argument, and has entertainment as its ultimategoal12.A related problem is that many incoming students generally do not like to read, and theaverage vocabulary has dropped. Because of this trend textbook publishers havesimplified the wording of some textbooks due to reports that students complained thatthey are difficult to read. Programs which automatically plot mathematical functions have been found to be“crutches” to students, who have less understanding of how the basic functions, such asexponentials, cosines, and

To reduce the exposure gap tovaluing humanistic aspects of design, Van Treuren and Eisenbarth also highlight the importanceof social science and humanities classes for engineers [7]. For students in all major programs,there remains a need to develop the critical thinking skills required for making ethical decisionswhen designing new solutions to relevant issues.In this paper, we discuss a lecture and lab activity for introducing the concepts of normal andfrictional force to non-STEM majors in an undergraduate Physics for the Fine Arts class. Byusing the context of raked stage design, we tied the importance of these forces to a setting thatmight be more familiar for the many film and theater majors

With time these documents will reach a point where aperception exists that further refinement is unnecessary. This would be a mistake. There shouldbe no roof on a project as important as the continued growth within the classroom. Therefore it isimportant that documents such as assessment tracking protocols and the design documentsundergo constant revision in order to follow the change in educational practices as well as drive it.AcknowledgementThis work was supported by the Engineering Research center Program of the National

However, it may not be very well developed. This cancause problems when facing a new situation. The purpose of this section of the paper is toencourage each engineer to develop her own system in more detail. This may involve thinkingthrough some potential issues before she actually has to make a decision relating to them. Thiswill increase her chances of making a decision she will be satisfied with after the event or issueis finished.In dealing with issues that have moral implications, a person who has firm

The objective of the experiment is to estimate the parameters (gain and time constant) of a first-order RC circuit by applying Taylor series from calculus, least-squares analysis, and statistical analysis ofexperiments. A program can be downloaded to the dSPACE unit through the Internet that applies a stepfunction input to the circuit and then acquires the resulting time response. The circuit parameters arethen estimated from the measured data using a recursive time-domain approach similar to that describedin [3]. The user can execute the estimation procedure through the Internet interface and study aspects ofits operation, such as convergence and performance with real data.

, having effective teamwork skills inengineering contexts is important. Multi-disciplinary teams bring together a pool of talents,experiences, and knowledge base, which cannot be embodied in an individual. However, themulti-disciplinary nature of a team does not guarantee successful team performance. Theresearch shows that the success of a team depends on how effectively team members are able toshare information, assign tasks based on the strengths of team members, coordinate tasks, andprovide feedback to one another.1 It is essential that engineering graduates have teamwork KSAto function effectively in teams. Engineering programs have responded to this need byincorporating teamwork into all levels of academic curricula.Table 1 summarizes a set
