Interdisciplinary (99) Faculty in a Mechanical, Materials Science, and Aerospace Engineering Department are incorporating the use of Lego (TM) MindStorms robotics kits into several courses to support a new robotics curriculum strand. Principles of multidisciplinary design, feedback control systems, and mechatronics that have typically been treated in a disconnected fashion are being unified under this robotics theme. Modules developed for teaching robotics at Drexel University and Case Western Reserve University are being adapted for this new curriculum; and the approach is enhancing the learning of interrelated concepts from mechanical, electrical and computational systems. Moreover, students receive important tangible feedback from physically experiencing the products of their own work. Finally, the impact of this project is being extended to teachers and students from neighboring secondary schools in the form of a workshop on implementing robotics concepts in their classrooms.

机械，材料科学和航空工程系的跨学科（99）教师正在将使用乐高（TM）Mindstorms机器人套件纳入多个课程，以支持新的机器人课程。在此机器人主题下，统一了通常以脱节方式处理的多学科设计，反馈控制系统和机电一体化原则。 开发用于教授德雷克塞尔大学和凯斯西部储备大学机器人技术的模块正在为这项新课程进行改编；这种方法是从机械，电气和计算系统中增强了相互关联的概念的学习。此外，学生从物理上体验自己的作品的产品中获得了重要的有形反馈。最后，该项目的影响力扩大到邻近中学的教师和学生，其形式是在教室中实施机器人技术概念的研讨会。
