Undergraduate Curriculum Development on Mechatronic Systems Engineering

小行星9455395 该提案的短期目标是由一个工作组开发机电系统工程方面的五门新课程和两个实验室，该工作组包括来自圣何塞州立大学机械、电气、计算机、通用工程和物理系以及当地高科技行业的教师。来自使命学院的两名教员也参与了实验室的开发。使命学院是加州社区学院系统的一部分，该系统为加州州立大学系统提供70%的新生。 除了新课程的开发外，还将对4个认证课程和5个现有实验室进行重大改进。 我们活动的长期目标是在上述短期努力的基础上建立一个机电一体化工程教育中心。该中心将协助国内其他机构为单一或跨学科工程部门以及工业人力资源开发建立机电一体化课程。 拟议的课程将建立在三个支柱上：（1）机电一体化技术的基本原则，（2）实践经验，（3）机电一体化技术在该地区工业中的应用。支柱（1）和（2）中的内容将易于传输到其他机构，而支柱（3）中的内容可以在当地行业的帮助下开发，并可以传输到类似行业环境中的其他机构。这一模式将使其他地区寻求开发类似模式的大学和行业受益。 这个项目编制的教学材料将通过计算机连接，以多媒体光盘的形式分发给其他机构和工业界。将尽一切努力在各种专业学会的会议上介绍成果，并在公开文献中发表。该工作组还将举办一个教师增强研讨会，以传播初步成果，并在项目的第一年后收集更多的投入。 今后将努力筹集更多资金，以便在项目发展的第二年和第三年举办讲习班。

9455395 Hsu The short-term objective of this proposal is to develop five new courses and two laboratories in mechatronic systems engineering by a Taskforce that includes faculty members from Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, General Engineering and Physics Departments at the San Jose State University, and from local high tech industry. Two faculty members from Mission College, part of the California Community College System which supplies 70% of the incoming studnets to the California State University System, are also involved in the laboratory development. In addition to new course development significant improvements will be made in 4 exisiting courses and 5 existing laboratories. The long-term objective of our activities is to establish a center for Mechatronics engineering education built on the success of the above short-term effort. This center will assist other institutions in the nation to establish mechatronic curricula for single or interdisciplinary engineering departments, as well as for human resource development for industry. The proposed curriculum will be built on three pillars: (1) the fundamental principles of Mechatronic Technology, (2) the hands-on experience, and (3) the application of Mechatronic Technology to the industry in the region. Contents in Pillar (1) and (2) will be made readily transportable to other institutions whereas the content in Pillar (3) can be developed with assistance of local industry and can be transported to other institutions in a similar industrial setting. This model will benefit universities and industries in other regions who seek to develop similar models. Instructional materials developed from this project will be disseminated to other institutions and industry through computer links by means of multi-media CD-ROMs. Every effort will be made to present results at conferences of various professional societies, as well as publications in open literature. The Taskf orce will also host a faculty enhancement workshop to disseminate initial results and to gather additional input after the first year of the project. An effort will be made to garner additional funding in the future in order to offer workshops in the project's second and third years of the development.
