We had hired a couple of people. We had set up our unit bylaws so that teaching was an integral part of promotion and tenure, which was different than everybody else at [our university]. And so, we were very focused on delivering the best undergraduate education program we could and we went from that sort of very tightly-knit sort of esoteric-- and we called ourselves the hippies.

Electrospray thrusters are now being considered as high specific impulse(propellant efficient), low thrust devices for small satellite maneuvering and control [4,5].Electrospray thrusters for flight missions are a complex technology, requiring a balance ofelectrical performance, fluid flow management in micro-gravity, and manufacturing precision forhigh performance, and system lifetimes. However, the basic principles of the devices can easilybe demonstrated in a lab setting as part of an undergraduate curriculum using a simplifiedterrestrial version of the thruster to demonstrate key principles and operational considerations.Minor modifications can be made to the such a set-up to convert it to a thruster suited to agraduate level curriculum where the

A key feature in common among recentformulations of system thinking is an emphasis on identifying major system elements andidentifying the relationships between those elements.

The course should notonly serve the academic and curriculum requirements, but also introduce the students to thesector (e.g., tours, industry speakers, and hands-on laboratory exercises). The three conclusionsare: that proximity to the manufacturing sector for students and campuses is significant, thatinternships and cooperative learning experiences are significant, and that faculty andadministration involvement are vital.A major conclusion of the work presented here is that there is a significant difference in studentsfrom campuses near more manufacturing

However, such approach is yet to be available in the state-of-the-artliterature.Hence, the objective of this paper is to develop an application model of the 7E method for teachingthe mechatronics course at college level, implement the model in actual classroom setting, assessthe student outcomes and modify the 7E application in cyclic order following the DBR methodbased on the feedbacks of the outcomes, which is referred in this paper as the closed-loop 7Emodel. The following two research questions are addressed: (i) Whether it is feasible to design the instruction for the mechatronics course fitting within the framework of
