These “observational and hands-on activities will have moreeducational value if they are planned so as to be integrated with overall course objectives andactively connected to what is happening in class.”3Incorporating the Robot SystemIn many engineering, math and science courses, teachers take a very active approach to assist thestudents in learning.

Familyinfluences are also a factor in studying engineering; however, APS data show that nonpersistersare more likely than persisters to be motivated by family influences to study engineering32. Theinfluence of family also tends to be less important after the first year32. In the Cross-sectionalCohort, data showed a lower level of motivation to study engineering because of financialreward for transfer students than for non-transfer students29.Curriculum and Skill Development IssuesAs discussed above, the factors

In many cases, this integrationalso uses industry-sponsored design projects.Most of the industry-sponsored design project applications are at the capstone design level,and many examples of these are documented in the literature 2-9.

The Mechanical Engineering curriculum is highly laboratory-based with a unique feature where at the beginning of the Junior year, the curriculum branchesinto five possible tracks called “specialties.” Approximately 12% of the total 180 credits arededicated to a more in-depth coverage of a sub-field of engineering. The current specialties areAutomotive Engineering Design, Medical Equipment Design, Manufacturing Product Design,Machine Design and Plastics Product Design. Each of these specialties culminates into acapstone design course where students are ideally expected to: 1) learn the design process as an "holistic" interdisciplinary activity, and 2) practice the "complete" design cycle from problem
