Increasingly the role of mechanical engineers in multidisciplinary teams inthe workplace is highly critical in the success of systems’ design and performance. Thetraditionally mechanical disciplines such as manufacturing, packaging, board layout, wirebonding, heat transfer, etc. have a profound impact on an electrical design. It is criticalthat non-EE team members know basic electronics concepts. To boost students’ interest,this message is conveyed to students in this required analog / digital course.

producedmicrocontrollers such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi that provide robust capabilities for sensing,control and communication. These tools are useful for both teaching and research in fieldsoutside of ECE, but require the traditional understanding of basic electrical circuits andprogramming methodology in order to be effective. This dilemma led to development of a coursefor non-engineers to allow such technologies to be used effectively. Students participated from adiverse array of fields, including agriculture, animal science, biology, finance, fine arts, physicsand statistics. The pedagogical approach used was a combination of traditional short lectures,hands-on small lab projects performed in two-person student teams, and a team-selected specialproject
