In addition, it has a set of minimum requirements described belowto make sure that it qualifies as a mechatronic project. A. Open Design requirementsAll projects are completed in groups of two students to promote collaboration and interaction.The minimum hardware requirements include one actuator, two different sensors, LEDs, pushbuttons, and a form of display. In addition, the project must be a demonstration of a concept fromany mechanical engineering field(s), such as statics, dynamics, thermal fluids, robotics, ormaterials. The Mechatronics lab provides the students with hardware to meet the minimumrequirements. However, if the students wish to

This provided anopportunity for the students to explore and research the existing available mechanisms andmachines and to use them in their design challenge. Each cohort had specific constraints to workwith and would develop a unique mechanism; by combining the two mechanisms they could builda machine capable of the requested task(s). The project was designed to expose students to a cross-cohort teamwork, to introduce them the usage of technical tools such as

Engineering and Computer Science DepartmentAbstractIn the United States, more than 10% of traditional electrical engineering programs havecombined with computer science into a single department 1. Historically computer scienceprograms emerged from mathematics or electrical engineering departments in the mid to late1960's. Since mathematics is not typically in the engineering college many computer scienceprograms developed independently from engineering programs. In the 1970's and early 1980's,with the advent of the microprocessor and embedded computer systems, computer engineeringevolved mostly out of existing electrical engineering programs and has since become a separatediscipline distinct from electrical engineering with

OurIntegrated Curricula are structured such that students register for a block of core classes, and theS-STEM student cohort comprises one of these blocks. Throughout the academic year, studentmentors are assigned to this cohort to conduct Supplemental Instruction sessions each week.At present, 85% of this initial FrEP cohort has been retained in a STEM discipline. Data from theprevious three years show an average freshman to sophomore STEM retention rate for a similarcohort of 59%.

sciencesreport doing so due to poor instruction [4]. Accordingly, this line of research has sparked aninterest in improving the quality of education engineering students receive by improvinginstruction through increased understanding of student learning and motivation [3]. From a motivation perspective, some of the most important steps students taketoward a career in science and engineering (S & E) are in choosing the right coursework,experiences, and mentors to get them there. Over the past few years, researchers haveamassed a substantial body of knowledge regarding how students think about their personalfutures. They argue if we want to understand why students choose one career path overanother, and why they choose to persevere or abandon

Much of the dispute took place in essaysand letters to professional journals and weeklies, but some of it took place on the collegecampuses themselves as they tried to define the future.
