Some mechanicalengineering programs are introducing mechatronics into their curriculum. When thesemechatronics courses were part of the mechanical engineering core degree requirements, theywere placed in the vibrations, system dynamics, and controls category.

the end of the semester, a general courseevaluation was given. This survey included the open ended question: Do you think that you learned engineering design in this course? If yes, HOW (through what classroom readings, activities, discussions, etc.?)Without prompting 35% of students mentioned the impromptu design projects. This may notseem like a huge percentage, but in a class where there are numerous ways to learn the designprocess (hands-on laboratories, homework, Beetlebot competition discussed above, impromptudesign, other in class projects, etc.), a 35% share of responses is actually quite significant. Thisshows that students were indeed interested in the projects, but also that they perceive them asbeing a good education

Unlike an online class, an IC includes face-to-face time with the instructor inclassroom or laboratory setting where the material learned outside of class is discussed andapplied. The IC allows an educator to present course material in several different formats, and soengages the different learning styles and preferences of students. The IC format encouragesstudents to become self-learners and help prepare them for how they will need to learn aspracticing engineers.
