to different aspects of applied robotics, including the design of end-effector toolingand fixtures for different tasks. Students work with three different robot configurations and twodifferent operating systems, so they are exposed to some of the different options available and getexperience with different interfaces and design philosophies. Students also get a brief introductionto machine vision systems through lab activities. The lab experience culminates in an open-ended,industry-sponsored project that requires students to apply their knowledge from the lab activitiesto solve a real robotic automation problem, including the design of the appropriate fixtures andspecification of the necessary equipment for a production cell.

Secondly, the paper will discuss the current year’s activity ofexploring innovative and creative uses of the Engaged in Thermodynamics material.Engineering educators are being recruited to create case studies of how the material can be usedwith different pedagogical approaches. Examples of possible case studies will be presented inthe paper; such as flipped classroom use and problem based learning.I.

The course is intended to address the new ABET program specific criteria forcivil engineering to “raise the bar” on ethics instruction. The course is also intended to helpstudents understand the importance of sustainable design and the impacts of engineering onsociety. One of the methods used to teach students about these issues included a structuredcontroversy on a proposed new water resources project in Colorado. There was also an extensivecase study analysis of Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans that spanned four weeks of the course,two lengthy written assignments, and in-class discussions. This included a discussion of thesocial justice

Additionally, faculty werenot included in any project-specific team meetings and communication between the leadershipteam and faculty about this project was limited. Some faculty perceived that the leadership teamwas taking credit for their work in incorporating social content into engineering courses, whichwas exacerbated by the feeling of not being included. For example, one faculty stated, “So, I dofeel like we are a very, I can’t think of a better word, we were integrated with the [project] but atthe same time like it’s not ours.”(2) Simply hosting workshops was
