paper we present the working processes and activities of acurrent one-year ECR: PEER (EHR Core Research: Production Engineering Education andResearch) project funded by NSF organizing two workshops held by two institutes. Theseworkshops are to solicit and synthesize insights from experts in the academic, for-profit, andnon-profit sectors to describe the future and education of production in mechatronics. Eachworkshop is planned to be two days, where the first day will be dedicated to the topics ofworkforce education and training in mechatronics. The topics in the second day will be slightlydifferent based on the expertise and locations of the two institutes. One will focus on themechatronics technologies in production engineering for

should be introduced in early stage of the curriculum. For instance, Introduction to Probability and Statistic is a required course in many university curriculums. The class is essential to understand performance-based design, which involves various sources of uncertainty. The class should also emphasize the probabilistic aspect of society and environmental impact. When construction material class is taught, material selection should be considered from both structural performance and sustainable built material perspectives. Second, design courses and capstone projects provide an opportunity for students to apply what they learn in classrooms about PBE and sustainability to “real world” examples. Working on
factors include quantitative skills, students’study habits, commitment to the program, involvement in extracurricular activity, andconnections to peers. In addition, math/calculus has been cited by students who switch awayfrom engineering as the most influential factor in their decisions. This paper describes anapproach to improve engineering student persistence when learning calculus without having tomake any changes in the current calculus curriculum. This approach is one the methods used inan NSF-funded initiative (Project DUE-0942270) at the University of North Dakota. The projectcombines several techniques, including the integration of stand-alone engineering modules to besolved by students outside class time and the use of engineering

First, an on-going research project results on model-based testingand formal methods are incorporated into this course. Model-based testing is an importantfeature of Model-based Design (MBD) methodology, which can be used to check whether thedesign model satisfies the functional or nonfunctional requirements like timing. An automatedformal method Model Checking, which is one of the most commonly used formal verificationtechniques, is exposed to students. It has been applied to deriving test cases from real-timedesign models. Second, students are introduced

humanitarian system/project is defined as, “an effort that has as its objective, theimprovement of a person or community [3].”The techniques to reduce complexity to the point where an achievable concept may be defined,are rooted in the practice of system architecture. From [4], architecture is defined as, “anabstract description of the entities of a system and the relationship between those entities.” Thearchitecture derivation starts by defining the functionality required to meet the higher levelconcept across all technical, social and economic domains. The architectural process thenderives the physical/logical instantiation of the system from the derived lower level functionality(i.e. Form follows Function [5]) and boundary properties. The system
