effects of major disruptions on the supply chain. He serves as Teaching Assistant for the STFS course.Mr. Hai Fu, University of Kentucky Hai Fu is currently a PhD student in Brazing and Heat Exchanger Research Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Kentucky. He received his master’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China and bachelor’s degree from Southeast Uni- versity, Nanjing, China. Prior to his PhD study, he worked in Shanghai Intel Asia-Pacific R&D Ltd. as a thermal engineer for one and a half years. He also studied in the University of Cincinnati for his PhD for two years before transferring to the University of Kentucky to continue his PhD

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.
