A Successful Interdisciplinary Engineering Design Experience by Dr. Steve Northrup, Dr. James Moriarty, Dr. Glenn Vallee and Dr. Walter Presz, Jr. ABSTRACTAn interdisciplinary team design experience has been successfully integrated into thesenior engineering laboratory effort at Western New England College. The projectobjective was to introduce the students to the design process typically associated with newproduct development. The approach was to have student teams develop a solar poweredvehicle prototype which can transport bottled water between two points on a slopedparking surface as

Nevertheless, project development in each courserequire utilization of the computer programming.The requirement of the “project in each class” poses additional constraints on thestudents’ time, particularly in the junior level classes. These students typically take fourMechanical Engineering courses each semester along with two or three laboratorycourses. Therefore, effective utilization of time plays an important role in the students’performance. Page 7.655.2 Proceedings of the

This historical has implications for how science,technological, and engineering knowledge has been created and the voices that have been left outof the creation of that knowledge [7]. Additionally, criticism of surface-level, performativedecoloniality (e.g. official statements) shows that there is room to create more practical,meaningful tools for moving from statements to action [8]. Little has been done in STEM fieldsto connect disciplines with decoloniality, thus the opportunity to focus tools for decoloniality insystems engineering is fruitful.Most curricula then recommend their set of stakeholder analysis that they think are appropriate totheir domains.

The motivation for the program is twofold: First of all, the dramatic drop in the costof sensors, computers and actuators is making possible entirely new classes of products, capableof both automating nontrivial tasks as well as performing functions not possible before.Secondly, robotics has proven to be an excellent means to excite pre-college students aboutscience, technology, and engineering. While much of the technical foundation for the newprogram is drawn from Computer Science, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, we believethat Robotics Engineering is on the path to emerging as an independent discipline with its ownintellectual goals and body of knowledge.

IntroductionDespite widespread acknowledgment that effective written communication is as essential forlearning as for disseminating ideas and discoveries, teaching writing and improving the qualityof student writing remain challenges for educators in engineering. National studies, such as thoseconducted by the Commission on Writing1 and the Boyer Commission on EducatingUndergraduates in the Research University2, argue that writing is a central means for developingstudents’ critical thinking, communication, and metacognitive skills. These studies urge reforms,suggesting that educators pay greater attention to writing instruction in all disciplines and urgingscience, technology, engineering, and

That so much attention is given toDifferential Equations is not without bases. We feel very strongly about this. The realworld is dynamic. Everything we do has some element of time in it and so a rate quantitycan be attributed to it. Moreover, in engineering systems, we talk about variability,changes, robustness, sensitivity, reliability, dependability, operational envelope, and soon, all of which involve relative measures of one quantity to another.

Although even laypersons will have some vague idea associated witheach subject of the engineering, it is often beyond their imagination to realize what eachmajor is really doing. For example, when we asked the visiting high school students inthe university open house about what was their impression of mechanical engineering, acommon answer was to repair their cars. Indeed, few of them could recognize thatrobotics or even thermal and fluids were within the realm of Mech anical Engineering.Further, with the development of the technology, most projects today require cooperationfrom many disciplines.

In recent years, the course was divided into segments surroundingspecific computing packages such as Excel, Matlab, and HTML programming. The course wassatisfactory in instructing students in how to use the software, but was less effective in teachingthe students how to apply the problem solving process and then use the computing tool as an aidin solving engineering problems.
