advanced, the field of mechatronics has expandedto include mechanical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, and controls engineering.This multidisciplinary nature of mechatronics makes it an ideal basis from which to constructnew capabilities and knowledge. Within the mechatronics course at The Citadel, manymechanical engineering students comprehend some basics of the mechatronic disciplines, butnow must integrate these areas while implementing new devices for the labs. The suggestedapproach in the mechatronics course is a progressive project that builds on the previous iteration.Students can choose their own mechatronics application project. This paper briefly describesseveral hands-on labs that progress in difficulty. Students are

In addition, employersof chemical engineering graduates require applicants to understand statistical tools prevalent in industry.Currently, statistics is not a required course in Chemical Engineering (ChemE) curriculum at NortheasternUniversity. There is a need to teach and apply valuable statistical tools into the ChemEcurriculum. However, the industrial engineering (IE) curriculum includes

have been enriched with an updated experimentallaboratory sequence, which include three 2-hour courses: 1) Mechanics Laboratory, 2) ThermalFluids Laboratory, and 3) Aerospace or Mechanical Laboratory. The first two courses were de-signed to supplement lecture-based theory courses during the same semester students are takingthem. The third course challenges students to design and execute their own experiments, buildingupon skills they learn in the earlier labs. Thus, the new sequence includes horizontal integrationwith discipline courses across the curriculum, and vertical scaffolding of skills related to experi-ment design and analysis.The Mechanics Laboratory course was offered to the first cohort in Spring 2019. It was designed togive hands

In the lab, students designed and implemented digital logic-basedcontrols for a typical manufacturing operation. The students participating in the lab experimentswere seniors majoring in mechatronics and/or industrial engineering. The mechatronics studentshad previous experiences with building digital circuits while their fellow students from industrialengineering did not. First, the students were divided into pairs where each industrial engineeringstudent was paired with a mechatronics student. As the students were creating and

Students have an open ended project as well thatinvolves integration of at least three measurement or actuation sub-systems. These projects arestudent-proposed early in the class offering with periodic status updates. Students are notrestricted to the sensors that were in the formative modules. They can use a variety of sensors oractuators for their projects. Project work can be conducted in teams of two students that areconnected online.

From fall 2018 to date, ENDEAVOR hasdeveloped four interdisciplinary laboratory courses and are developing two new courses.Specifically:(a) Engineering Toolbox (Freshman – Sophomore), new course: This course is focused on provided freshman and sophomore with skills to include mill, lathe, CNC, additive manufacturing, circuits, data acquisition, and integration. This skill building endeavor is built around the students manufacturing a working impeller pump. The students will compete to build the best pump with the winner getting an automatic A for the course. In
