peer group is that there are many problems for students towork, and each student throughout the course of a fifty minute class will work three problemsand “host” a problem as a peer tutor. In class, these progressive peer groups are called “FunkyFridays”; they were implemented on a weekly basis as a way to practice the topic(s) of the week.The name gave the cue that this was a regular, ongoing expectation.The progressive peer group is implemented as follows: the instructor prepares at least fourdifferent problems for students to work. Students are randomly grouped in threes and assigned anexercise to work. Playing cards are an easy way to help direct students to minimize time lostduring moves, and are an easy way to continually mix students

It also provided a real-worldengineering design practice for students. The successful completion of the project confirmed theeffectiveness of the Mechatronics curriculum for students’ multidisciplinary learning and practicalcompetence. Moreover, the ground work established in this project provides a valuable bench-marking system for Mechatronics students and classes in which various control designs areempirically evaluated.

This milestone system added structure tothe project and increased timeliness, but the instructors were confronted with an unanticipatedside effect. If a milestone was completed poorly, and the student(s) received an appropriatelylow grade, there was no motivation to fix the problematic issues. Later, another student wouldneed to put in extra work to compensate for the first weak performance. A corrective action wasnecessary to hold the original student responsible for completing the task without letting the teamfall behind. In the year following the
