Thisapproach is not only fun to the students but is can be easily adapted to any STEM discipline indifferent educational levels. The learning experience could be the first in a series of learningmechatronics, which could be followed by introducing electronics, and programming,respectively. This paper is aimed for undergraduate level.IntroductionAliciatore and Histand defined mechatronics as an “interdisciplinary field of engineering dealingwith the design of products whose functions rely on the integration of mechanical and electroniccomponents coordinated by control architecture1. Mechatronics is rich in content, deep inspecialty
emphasis in Materials and Manufacturing. After leaving Boeing I spent several years in equipment research and development at Starbucks Coffee Company. From there I decided my heart lied in teaching and left Starbucks to teach Materials Science Technology at Edmonds Community College. I eventually moved to Western Washington University where I have been faculty in the Plastics and Composites Engineering Program (formerly Plastics Engineering Technology) for the past 13 years. My research interests are in composite manufacturing.Prof. Todd D.

The Ohio State University Abstract – This paper introduces the development process of a unique course, History of AncientEngineering, which blends numerous areas of science and technology. Development of such a course thatintegrates two different major subjects, i.e., history and engineering, and the inclusion of pertinent areas suchas agriculture, archeology, architecture, arts, chemistry, civil, geography, geology, hydrology, metallurgy, andphysics. While the historical aspects focus on the when, where, who, and what, the engineering aspects wouldendeavor to solve the why, how, made from-what, and occasionally, what-if questions associated with ancienttechnology. The goal of this course is to increase the student’s technical literacy by

equipment continues to escalate whilethe funding for the programs remains stagnant or is declining. This leads to a mounting budgetshortfall. The outcome is a widening gap between what is required to effectively offer a leadingedge engineering program and the resources currently available for instructional purposes. Thisdilemma directly affects the capability of engineering schools to train and graduate engineerswith the abilities to work on state-of-the-art projects in a highly dynamic and increasinglycompetitive technical environment.While new technological developments have in many ways created this dilemma, they may alsooffer the solution to deal with the increasing budget gap in an effective and timely manner.
