Since integrated design approaches have been widely accepted fordesigning complex intelligent and engineering systems, Mechatronics education is rapidlybecoming critical [3].Due to its highly interdisciplinary nature, Mechatronics field attracts students from diversebackgrounds including ME, EE, and CS. This diversity imposes some constraints on teachingMechatronics especially at the introductory level. For example, ME and EE students may need tospend more time than CS students to be proficient in software design. Likewise, CS students donot have much interest in hardware design. Non-engineering majors may have even harder timein
