There is no doubt that hydraulic fluid power is a maturetechnology, and the new applications present numerous challenges, but it is evident that there aresignificant benefits. Therefore, there is a growing need to have

I hope all is going well there and I definitely intent on keeping in touch.” The student’s message shows that the students find the projects to be extremely beneficialin pursuing a job. It gives them confidence. Since the class projects have been such a success,and since these projects are the best artifacts to present students’ expertise and capabilities, it isnatural to consider them as first choice for an ePortfolio showcase. This is where the idea started,to provide students with a tool to better market themselves in front of potential employers,providing a way to display their projects and industrial expertise.

Mechatronics SpecializationStarting with the 2018-2019 catalog, the EET program is introducing the option formechatronics, as a newly developed concentration area. While the program offers a strongpackage of electronics, communications, and power electronics courses that provide a goodfoundation for mechatronics specialization, to clearly signal the mechatronics option to theincoming students, the actual “mechatronics” name should be specified within the offeredcurriculum. From the MET experience over the last few years, EET faculty have come to theconclusion that there is enough interest among students for a stronger curriculum and a moreinterdisciplinary approach for mechatronics. The EET program did not have the availability of anew faculty line to
