experiences.Capstone courses and projects are very important activities for student outcomes of an academicprogram. Capstone courses integrate and further build on the learning outcomes from many ofthe courses students study. Integrating mechatronics into a senior capstone design project is notalways possible. However, much like a senior capstone project, mechatronics is a course thatallows students to exercise their creativity and problem solving skills using project basedlearning and exercising teamwork. In this paper, sample capstone design projects usingmechatronics and their outcomes will be presented. In particular, this paper gives an overview ofthe developed devices specifically by focusing on the design and development aspects of theprototypes

(UGA) College of Engineering Capstone Syllabus, acapstone is a “two-semester sequence course that is project based and focused on problemframing, stakeholder analysis, concept generation, and project management skills.” The goal “isto review concepts in the design process and tools in design methodology with a focus onengineering systems development cycle. Students working in multidisciplinary teams areassigned to design problems that are open-ended, requiring creativity and involving iterativesolutions.” It continues to state that “Design systems will work independently with a facultymentor and adopts the design that can be rapid prototyped or manufactured and evaluated againstthe design requirements. Student teams present their design

additive manufacturing makerspace (AMM) into two separate rooms calledbasic and advance 3D printing makerspaces, as shown in Figure 2. Basic 3D printings are mostlyfor the freshman and sophomore engineering students who are just learning 3D printing. Whileadvance 3D printing makerspace are dedicated to more serious 3D printing projects of junior andsenior engineering students for making functional parts and prototypes of advance materials(composites, ceramics, metals) for their industry led capstone project or upper division classprojects. The AMM houses various types of AM technologies such as fused deposition modeling(FDM) aka fused filament fabrication (FFF) for polymers and composites, Continuous FilamentFabrication (CFF) for composites
