59 Engineering-ManufacturingThe objective of the project is to develop a multidisciplinary robotics course that emphasizes the integrated system development nature of robotics and cross-functional teamwork. The project adapts aspects of the General Robotics course at CMU, the Robot Building Laboratory Project developed jointly at Swarthmore College and Bryn Mawr College, and robotics tools developed at Drexel University. This General Robotics course is available for undergraduate students of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Industrial Engineering. Accordingly, it emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of robotics by surveying the different fields with respect to robotics. The course uses a hands-on approach to teaching the subject where laboratory exercises complement lecture material. This provides students in the different engineering fields an opportunity to experience how their discipline interfaces with other disciplines. Another aspect of the course is to create cross-functional teams comprised of students from the different areas to develop a robotics project. This is an important experience that provides students opportunities to learn about functioning in multidisciplinary teams. To enhance this learning experience, material is presented that teaches students principles of teamwork and group dynamics. The adaptation of the materials includes two major innovations. The first is to include material specifically on teamwork and integrated system design. The second innovation is the way the course is taught. This involves the material being developed with sufficient detail for each area so that any one or two engineering faculty members may teach the course.

59工程制造该项目的目标是开发一个多学科机器人的课程，该课程强调机器人技术和跨职能团队合作的集成系统开发性质。该项目适应了CMU通用机器人课程的各个方面。该通用机器人课程可用于电气和计算机工程，计算机科学，机械工程和工业工程的本科生。因此，它通过对机器人技术进行调查，强调了机器人技术的多学科性质。该课程使用动手方法来教授实验室练习补充讲座材料的主题。这为不同工程领域的学生提供了一个机会，可以体验他们的纪律与其他学科的界面。该课程的另一个方面是创建由来自不同领域的学生组成的跨职能团队来开发机器人项目。这是一个重要的体验，可为学生提供学习在多学科团队中运作的机会。为了增强这种学习经验，提出了材料，以教授学生团队合作和小组动态原则。材料的改编包括两项主要创新。首先是将材料专门用于团队合作和集成系统设计。第二个创新是课程的教学方式。这涉及到每个区域开发的材料，以便任何一个或两个工程教师都可以教授课程。
