Abstract: We will present work in progress on a Combined Research and Curriculum Development(CRCD) project at the university of Central Florida entitled "Advances in Machine Learning in Engineering and Science Education". The project is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation and involves the development of a curriculum model for the integration of machine learning research into science and engineering disciplines. This is a two-phase project. The first phase,which is where we are now, involves the integration of such moudles into the lower level science and engineering courses, while the second phase involves the introduction of upper level machine learning course.
