larger complexity of future’s systems and the widespread inclusion of software in almost every type of engineered system built today and/or envisioned for the future.These facts prompted the engineering faculty at Embry-Riddle to seek a solution for theintegration of the related software engineering and systems engineering courses part of thegraduate engineering curriculum. The expected outcomes of this integration are: Page 24.127.4 • An increased exposure to the software engineering development methods and tools for the electrical and computer engineering, and potentially other engineering disciplines students who

emphasis of the Purdue course is that students must construct an automated device,integrating prior knowledge regarding mechatronic systems components. In the past, the Purdueprojects have not been based on real-world problems. Thus, the authors have experienceinstructing mechatronics in the absence of a PBL activity. This article describes student reactionsto incorporating PBL into the Lawrence Tech course. Future work will incorporate PBL intoPurdue’s course to generate additional data, albeit from public research university rather than aprivate teaching university.During the first half of the mechatronics course, students are exposed to traditional lectures andlab experiments. In the second half of the course, students work collaboratively to

, there has been much discussion (see for example, [14], [1], [7], [9], [3] and [16]), about Page 24.813.2what a Systems Engineering curriculum should be. Particularly important is the question of howto introduce young or inexperienced students to Systems Engineering concepts (see for example[16], [8], [15], and [2]). The consensus appears to be to introduce students to these conceptsthrough hands-on experience, however, introducing students to these concepts and providinghands on experience in a first course is a tall order. In this paper, we present an overview of aneffort to do just that via the revamping of our Introduction to Systems

this concept in an easier way?”; etcall provide the teacher with an idea of how the class is receiving the material17.Not only is asking questions important, but it is also necessary to ask the correct questions. Onevery famous study that emphasized this were the Dr. Fox experiments conducted by Naftulin andcolleaugues18,19. In these experiments, Naftulin hired an actor to present a lecture to a group ofeducators. They named him Dr. Fox and mandated that he deliver the lecture in a highlyexpressive and entertaining manner. The lecture content had very little substantive content andhad a large number of logical confusions and repetitions. The experimenters also gave theeducators a fictitious Dr. Fox curriculum vita loaded with a number of
