Education, 2018 Using Mechatronics to Develop Self Learners and Connect the Dots in the CurriculumAbstractMechatronics has traditionally been considered a simple combination of mechanical andelectrical systems, but as technology and capability have advanced, the field of mechatronics hasexpanded to include mechanical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, and controlsengineering. This multidisciplinary nature of mechatronics makes it an ideal basis from which toconstruct new capabilities and knowledge. As a mandatory senior level course for mechanicalengineers at The Citadel, mechatronics is a course that allows students to exercise their creativityand problem solving skills in a multidisciplinary

latter interaction can easily result in temperaturesapproaching 110°F or higher on the plant floor.Heat engines hold the possibility of capturing this resource and redirecting the energy to avariety of positive outcomes. Developing appropriate systems, however, can be a challengingtask in a manufacturing environment. The target furnaces must run at normal capacity andscheduling, which makes installation and testing of technology complicated. Further, full-scaledevelopment can be costly.Small-scale development is much more appropriate, and lends itself well to practical studentexperiences in design and application (as well as opening opportunities for expanded heattransfer laboratory experiments).
