Design and development of a cartesian robot for multi-disciplinary engineering education

Abstract

This paper presents a teaching approach based on hands-on learning. The details of the approach presented here cover the theoreticalaspects and the practical implementation of the engineering study. The study provides details of a model for a multi-disciplinaryengineering education approach that provides the students with fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge. Furthermore, theresults of the study reveal that the method is in compliance with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)criteria for education in engineering. Moreover, the benefits of the approach and the related results, which indicate that graduatingstudents do benefit from the education provided, are also presented.
