derived from a graduate-level course inmechatronics that both authors have taught separately for Purdue University’s School ofMechanical Engineering (Purdue). The authors share a doctoral advisor, who developed theoriginal course at Purdue. As colleagues in both research and teaching, the authors have engagedin frequent collaboration regarding instruction in mechatronic design. While the pairing of asmall, private university with a large, public university is unusual in regards to studentpopulations, the authors used common lecture materials and laboratory experiments to minimizedifferences in student populations. Differences in student response to the PBL implementationare expected and further work will be needed to analyze those differences.An

optimization algorithm known as the hybrid cellular automaton (HCA) method. This method has since been applied to the design of crashworthy structures for Honda R&D Americas, as well as blast mitigating structures and materials for the U.S. Army and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Currently, Dr. Tovar is the founding director of the IUPUI Engineering Design Research Laboratory and the author of more than100 technical publications, including 27 journal papers and one book chap- ter. His research on engineering design addresses fundamental aspects on synthesis and optimization of high-impact energy absorbing materials and structures, particularly for applications in the automotive and aerospace industries.

risk analysis for over twenty five years. He served for two and a half years as a research mathematician at the international operations and process research laboratory of the Royal Dutch Shell Company. While at Shell, Dr. Mazzuchi was involved with reliability and risk analysis of large processing systems, maintenance optimization of off-shore platforms, and quality control procedures at large scale chemical plants. During his academic career, he has held research contracts in development of testing procedures for both the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army, in spares provisioning modeling with the U. S. Postal Service, in mission assurance with NASA, and in maritime safety and risk assessment with the Port Authority
