concepts in the measurement laboratory/lecture (ME 335/L) and introduction tomechatronics (ME 435/L), a traditional mechanical engineering course, are interlinked to providestudents with a unified learning experience. As a first step in this direction, ME 335/L was madea prerequisite to ME 435/L, which allowed the students to learn about the fundamental topics inME 335/L, and thus be prepared to tackle more complex topics in ME 435/L course. The ME335/L was redesigned to incorporate more tools, instrumentation, and programs typically used inME 435/L. The key experiments in ME 335/L were tailored to expose students to topicscommonly encountered in ME 435/L. This integrated approach to mechatronics allowed studentsto build a strong fundamental

Analysis to Mechanical Engineering StudentsAbstractFor many years in the mechanical engineering curriculum, the topics of electric circuit design,mechatronics and instrumentation have all been taught as separate courses. However, thesetopics are all fundamentally related through the manipulation of electrical energy to producesome desired result, whether it be to turn on a light, drive an electric motor, or measure the stressin a beam. In an effort to more explicitly demonstrate how these subjects are related, a set ofthree courses, meant to be taken concurrently, was developed to integrate these topics.

In contrast to many of the limited-scope problems in textbooks,practical problems are open-ended, loosely structured, and complex. Engineering programs havelong recognized the need to convey both theoretical and practical knowledge by supplementingtextbooks and lectures with laboratory experiences and integrated design projects; however,many of the teaching methods employed in the traditional lecture hall are carried over to the labenvironment.In the fall 2014, we observed student difficulty in solving open-ended problems, leading to lowachievement outcomes
