Abstract
The vast majority of mechatronics courses currently offered in Mechanical Engineering programs across the country have a substantial project experiences as a central part of the course. The proper design of the project experience is crucial for the success of the educational experience. In this paper, two particular mechatronics projects that were actually used in a senior-level elective mechatronics course at Penn State will be examined. While they are very similar in basic design, they were extremely different in practice: one being a huge success, the other a dismal failure. The features that contributed to the success and failure of the projects will be addressed as will the overall structure of Penn State's mechatronics program so that the paper can be given the proper perspective.
