model for the integration of Machine Learning into the undergraduate curriculum of those engineering and science disciplines mentioned above. The goal is increased exposure to Machine Learning technology for a wider range of students in science and engineering than is currently available. Our approach of integrating Machine Learning research into the curriculum involves two components. The first component is the incorporation of Machine Learning modules into the first two years of the curriculum with the goal of sparking student interest in the field. The second is the development of new upper level Machine Learning courses for advanced undergraduate students. In the past, we have reported on our experiences of introducing

the United States economy are well-documented and havesignificant implications for the engineers of today and the near future. It has been observed formany years the movement of domestic manufacturing operations overseas in order to leverageavailable cost advantages. What began as the export of unskilled manufacturing jobs has grownto include service sector jobs like customer support and even computer programmers. This trendcontinues today with skills unique to engineers being viewed as commodities that can besupplied by people all over the world. By some estimates, one third of all domestic jobs aresusceptible to off-shoring1.The rapid development of various information technologies have greatly lowered barriers toinformation for people all

The Integration of Co-op Programs into International NGO Work Prof. Francis J. Hopcroft, Wentworth Institute of Technology Boston, MA Session: FAC 5 Interdisciplinary programs, sustainability and alternative energy as related to engineering educationABSTRACTThe use of international projects as Service Learning opportunities is not new. Doing cooperativeeducation programs in foreign countries is not new. Using existing Non-GovernmentalOrganizations (NGOs) as the catalyst and launching pad for Service Learning Projects is also notnew. Putting them all together in one place, along with a contingent of students from severalcolleges
regional campuses, however, there are constraintson how those funds get distributed among all campuses. With the benefits come the challengesassociated with regional campus teaching and learning. These challenges are discussed below: 1. Limited Resources: The regional campuses have limited resources when it comes to offering engineering or engineering technology courses. These courses are lab-based courses and must have all the resources to ensure consistency in the type of project being offered. Course coordinators from the central campus are assigned the task to form regional campus teams and discuss the availability of resources to offer the first-year engineering courses. The first-year courses are revised often
@uml.eduAbstractAn undergraduate course in dynamic systems involves basic material in previous undergraduatecourses that are critical building blocks for course execution. Differential Equations,Mathematical Methods for Engineers, Dynamics, etc. are all basic underlying material that iscritical to the material covered in an undergraduate course. Material taught in those prerequisitecourses is often considered irrelevant to the student since there is no practical application tofirmly instill these basic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) concepts. Atraditional Dynamic Systems course, with traditional class lecture/homework/test scenario isdestined to the same fate as these earlier courses, if taught in the same manner.A new variation of
