The groups also had the optionto check-out their toolbox and work with it at home or outside the lab at their own pace,which was well received and taken advantage of by the students. Lectures devoted to discussing the overall conceptof mechatronics and introducing the overall Lab-VIEW software environment were also incorporatedin the Introduction to Robotics course. The firstlecture discussed a simple LabVIEW Virtual Instru-ment (VI) was developed to explain the Front Panel(FP) and Block Diagram (BD) windows, and themanner in which these tools could be used to developa

Recent hires (8 in total) have shifted the faculty mix to one that is now predominantly Ph.D. qualified. However, most have some industrial experience, and all have backgrounds that will help in promoting these core values and mission of the department. The old technology programs were effective in their hands-on approach in large part because of a collegial and collaborative environment that existed between faculty and the department’s highly trained technical staff. This was to be maintained in the new programs. The concerns of staff and their role in supporting the new programs was thus a

We have found that the more industry experience a faculty member canbring into the classroom to supplement the core coursework, the better the students master thecontent. When students make the connection between course materials and real-life situations,they realize the importance of what they are learning.

Computer-basedsimulation experiments are used as teaching tools for one group of students while another groupuses tactile experiments. The study reveals that student learning is not adversely affected bycomputer-based experiments. A similar comparison study is reported in Olin et al.

The group thatused simulation-based environments outperformed the control group. The study in Fraser et al. [9]also reports
