This article presents a methodology to improve the performance of learning of students in the major of Automation Engineering, through the development of a multidisciplinary project that involves the use of contemporary technological tools and knowledge of previous subjects. It is sought to add in their educational training, theory and practice for the student, learning, new knowledge, and skills within their training as an engineer. Despite advances in teaching methods and the inclusion of contemporary tools in the learning process, the success rate is low. A qualitative and quantitative analysis of student learning is made by integrating a multidisciplinary project based on contemporary tools compared with other reviewed works. This laboratory based on a fieldprogrammable gate array helps the student to acquire skills related to the implementation of reconfigurable logic and instrumentation applied to control theory. The development of the final project involves the design of a graphic user interface, hardware description, communication protocols, and implementation of motion control, it is looking for is that the student can relate theory to practice in order to motivate and increase skills and knowledge, as well as solving both didactic and industrial problems. The results obtained show that the students are satisfied with the course and that the experience with the integration of this type of multidisciplinary projects directly impacts the motivation and learning of the student, considerably increased developed based on the specific indicators that the Querétaro State University has accredited by Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology since 2016.

“…Very invasive changes in the area and a lot of reprogramming time by qualified specialists are required. This remains expensive due to limited access to skilled operators caused by an aging workforce and faster technology development, even with recent advances in education [5]. This requires new solutions to assist operators and provide collaborative work environments [6].…”

There is a paradigm shift in current manufacturing needs that is causing a change from the current mass-production-based approach to a mass customization approach where production volumes are smaller and more variable. Current processes are very adapted to the previous paradigm and lack the required flexibility to adapt to the new production needs. To solve this problem, an innovative industrial mobile manipulator is presented. The robot is equipped with a variety of sensors that allow it to perceive its surroundings and perform complex tasks in dynamic environments. Following the current needs of the industry, the robot is capable of autonomous navigation, safely avoiding obstacles. It is flexible enough to be able to perform a wide variety of tasks, being the change between tasks done easily thanks to skills-based programming and the ability to change tools autonomously. In addition, its security systems allow it to share the workspace with human operators. This prototype has been developed as part of THOMAS European project, and it has been tested and demonstrated in real-world manufacturing use cases.

Traditional engineering education of innovative thinking mainly focused on knowledge imparting, thinking and learning, but it weakens the cultivation of students' practical ability. In this paper, a new pattern of innovative thinking engineering education is proposed, which combines abstract design innovation with specific robot maker practice. By offering general course for all professional students, it teaches the theory, methods and tools of systematic innovative thinking, and cultivates students' system design methods and innovative thinking. Taking the design and production process of robots as the object and content of practical teaching, the traditional teaching pattern centered on teachers, classrooms and textbooks is changed, teachers' reflection on teaching is promoted, so that it can be truly changed from a lecturer to an inspirator of learning, at the same time, teaching flexibility is increased, and students' highlevel thinking and practical abilities are improved. Classroom statistics show that 92.14% of the students think that their innovative thinking ability has been improved, and 90.71% of the students consider that their practical ability has been enhanced. It shows that the engineering education innovation pattern with design ideas and robot maker practice can inspire students' innovative thinking, while improving students' robotic practical ability.
