The history of mechatronics dates back to early 1970s, when the term mechatronicsoriginated by Tetsuro Mori, an engineer of Yasakawa Electric Corporation in Japan [16]. Initiallythe term mechatronics was dedicated for systems which are combinations of electrical andmechanical components, in general referred as electro-mechanical systems.

The practices in Table A have been shown to have a particularly large and robust impacton learning in undergraduate STEM courses (see, e.g., Wieman and Gilbert, 2014). The literature onteaching indicates that practices in Table B promote learning also, but with less impact than those in TableA.
