Abstract

This paper presents the results of integrating mechatronics into a large second year design course. Issues related to course objectives, implementation, costs and results from a curriculum perspective are presented. The systems developed for this course are the result of three years of system design and modification. The results of this paper demonstrate that for realistic costs and efforts, mechatronics can be integrated into a sophomore level design class that services approximately 300 students per year. Furthermore, results from the senior level capstone design course indicate that the use of mechatronics permeates throughout the students' career.
