Many femalestudents lose interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) at an early age.How to encourage and retain female students’ interest in STEM is a challenge faced by manyeducators.The paper describes our collaboration (Wentworth Institute of Technology (WIT)) with an all-girl high school to setup a robotics workshop. The high school administration is interested inbringing engineering and technology as a new component to their curriculum. From our side, weconstantly seek outreach opportunities to prompt STEM and attract more girls into the STEMfields. After meeting and discussion with the high school administration, a robotics workshopwas developed. The workshop was a year-long

While CDE is easier to implement intraditional engineering and technology programs, its use in on-line programs is limited. This is becauseof the asynchronous nature of on-line programs and student demographics.Per ABET 2016-17 General Criterion 5: Curriculum, Baccalaureate degree programs must provide acapstone or integrating experience that develops student competencies in applying both technical andnon-technical skills in solving problems. Thus, CDE is a requirement for ABET accredited engineeringand technology programs. The duration and nature of

The TLP aims to integrate both the component- and system-level knowledge by focusing on an interdisciplinary program between two existing majors:electrical engineering for the component level and systems engineering for the systems level.The TLP curriculum is built on a theoretical model of interdisciplinary knowledge developed byBoix-Mansilla1.

The problem of integrating software testing concepts and related techniques into programmingand software engineering (SE) courses is still an open research problem. Over the past decade, therehave been many investigations, specifically by members of both academic community and softwareindustry, into ways to integrate software testing into computer science (CS) and SE curricula.

In addition to the treatment we give to those topicsduring normal lecture hours, our students also participate in a two-hour lab, with a graded take-home portion, in which they are expected to use an instructor-provided package to solve aproblem.

Whenwe talk about systems, we use the NASA Systems Engineering handbook definition as “aconstruct or collection of different elements that together produce results not obtainable by theelements alone.” This is the mindset we want students to carry throughout the mechatronicscurriculum. To focus on the practical applications of mechatronics, we developed a labcurriculum that cultivates system-level thinking around the build and integration of ahypothetical NASA Mars rover project
