Inaddition, participants learn how FANUC Robotics training can be integrated in the curriculum oftheir home institutions. These workshops are offered to faculty members of two- and four yearinstitutions and are designed to increase practical experience in Industrial Robotics as well asrenew the interest and empower those seeking to revamp existing courses or develop newcourses in Industrial Robotics.These 2-day, 16 contact hour workshops are designed to be an intense, immersive experiencethat provide a broad spectrum of activities to participants.

We have applied the lessons learned in an earlier effort at the College of Engineering, Michigan State University (MSU), lead by the first author of this report. Both the work at MSU and the recent, continuing work at MichTech are endeavors to help meet the call of the NAE sixteen years ago. Across many disciplines, we have constructed a program curriculum that builds an integrated engineering experience on the foundations of technical courses from a cross-section of different engineering disciplines, mathematics courses, physical and social sciences courses, business courses, and humanities courses.

Brunhaver et al. [19] produced similar findings about the difficulty ofassessing EM content in courses using the existing KSOs. The solution to this problem ofmeasurability proposed in that study was to develop an assessment of self-reported studentunderstanding of EM. The recommendation from this present study is to instead modify orredefine the objectives used to integrate EM content into curriculum to be measurable, ratherthan measuring it using a separate assessment tool.Although the sets of objectives analyzed in this study were difficult to use for the purposes ofmeasuring the EM content of courses, they can be used in other ways, including to help guide theprocess of generating EM course objectives. These objectives can also be useful for
