,graduate students, and faculty. This paper analyzes the student learning outcomes, forEngineering and Engineering Technology (E&ET) programs, where the curriculum has beentailored to include undergraduate research, as compared to lecture & lab-based curriculum.Previous research, on which the present work is based, shows that research projects allowstudents to explore, discover and innovate in a limited period of time and space. Theliterature reveals that undergraduate research helps to integrate students with the faculty andresults in publications which appear in peer-reviewed journals. Thus the student is able tocreate portfolios that shed light on their learning and skills development in the professions.Through this work, the following

thinking can be uncomfortable for both student and instructor, but it often leads tosubstantial creative content in a project. As noted in Sheppard et al (1997) in describing thefreshman engineering design and product design program at Stanford, one of the instructors(Faste) noted: “some of the best ideas were initially labeled ‘stupid’.”9 There is a clear need tocreate a classroom environment that encourages divergent thinking and permits new ideas to beexplored.There are numerous examples of cornerstone (freshman/sophomore) design classes inengineering programs. Three examples highlight some of the characteristics needed to provide anengaging engineering experience for freshman students. As part of a curriculum overhaul, MITimplemented CDIO

andautomation areas. These statistics clearly show there is a skill gap between industry needs andwhat current curriculum offers at community college levels and other levels. To fill these skillgap there is a need for industry driven curriculum development and this project reflected thoseissues. Driven by the program objectives, the Old Dominion University (ODU) and CCAMteam developed an approach to formulate the curriculum and courses. Since the mechatronicsprograms are mature, the approach for this project was to piggy-back on these programs tointroduce robotics technology programs into the current offerings. Mechatronics is aninterdisciplinary area of engineering that combines mechanical and electrical engineering and

This concept is difficult toapply to Electrical Engineering because of the wide variety of specializations offered within themajor.
