writing progress for a myriad of reasons. Good intentions to write can besidetracked by competing obligations and pressing deadlines11. For students enrolled in classes,serving as teaching or laboratory assistants, and perhaps trying to balance family or other offcampus obligations, finding time, structure, and motivation to write can prove challenging. Inresponse, they may succumb to unhealthy habit of ‘binge writing’, mistaking believing that theywill be more creative and productive if they write sporadically in bursts that lead to exhaustion4.A simple way to create effective writing habits and ensure steady progress is to set writing goals.A goal is simply an articulated desired end-state. Goal setting has received intense scholarlyattention

logistics associated with credit-hour limitation and student contact hours provideenormous challenges to faculty to cover all fundamental concepts and assess student outcomesthat demonstrate their readiness to move on to engineering mechanics courses that follow.Recognizing the difficulty students have in Statics, engineering faculty have discussed aboutintroducing an additional laboratory hour in the curriculum to motivate students and provide aphysical framework to demonstrate the abstract concepts. While additional contact hours willcertainly enhance learning; credit hour limitation of curricula is also a “realistic constraint”around which engineering curricula has to be designed.

We developed a studentworkbook that provided introductory information on each activity along with a completedescription of laboratory procedures. Students also had assigned reading each night related tothe next day’s topic.

. Because of the integrated multidisciplinaryapproach, the scope for innovation in product engineering is ever increasing. With rapidchanges in technology and more applications becoming real-time and embedded, teaching themechatronics course only through laboratories or course projects is not sufficient. The leapfrom the traditional sequential design approach to the mechatronics philosophy is very big.Added to this are the various definitions that have evolved and the various methodologiesdeveloped for the mechatronics system design. Mechatronics is at a stage of evolutionaryprocess of modern engineering design and involves systems thinking. “V-cycle” is aprescribed industrial process for mechatronics.

As a result thestudents do not put a uniform effort in learning during the course but, under pressure from theirother courses, apply themselves to the EFW course for only a short period of time just before theexams, resulting in an uneven and incomplete learning.To overcome the problems described above we are developing a conceptually novel one-semester EFW course for engineering junior undergraduate students and establishing a newundergraduate EFW laboratory. This course is a four credit-hour lecture/lab course (three credithours are for the lecture component and one credit hour for the lab component of the combinedcourse).
