AB  - This “Work in progress” highlights development of a new B.S. program in robotics engineering in response to local employer needs. As with many states, [State Name] has a dearth of workers available to support a growing manufacturing industry. Many companies are introducing automation onto their facility floors and now have a growing need for staff engineers who can design systems, organize updates, and design processes that fully utilize automation capabilities. In response to this need, [University Name] faculty have designed a new B.S. degree program in robotics engineering to support automation, while at the same time incorporating research and development in areas of agriculture and natural resources, manufacturing, biomedicine and human health, and transportation and infrastructure. This “Work in progress” paper will outline the steps we have taken to utilize faculty input and established curriculum to develop an interdisciplinary program requiring a small number of new courses yet still meeting both ABET requirements for mechatronics and robotics and partner interest. Student reflections on the program and its first course offering have been gathered, along with reactions from faculty, to drive ongoing continuous improvement.
