A final video was produced using the screencasting software, Camtasia Studio7,in which computer desktop work was recorded and combined with video recordings of thespring-mass system motion from the camera.At left in Figure 8 is a depiction of the type of textbook system often considered in mechanicalengineering course work that can be used to represent the actual simple physical system inFigure 7.

concepts in the measurement laboratory/lecture (ME 335/L) and introduction tomechatronics (ME 435/L), a traditional mechanical engineering course, are interlinked to providestudents with a unified learning experience. As a first step in this direction, ME 335/L was madea prerequisite to ME 435/L, which allowed the students to learn about the fundamental topics inME 335/L, and thus be prepared to tackle more complex topics in ME 435/L course. The ME335/L was redesigned to incorporate more tools, instrumentation, and programs typically used inME 435/L. The key experiments in ME 335/L were tailored to expose students to topicscommonly encountered in ME 435/L. This integrated approach to mechatronics allowed studentsto build a strong fundamental

Analysis to Mechanical Engineering StudentsAbstractFor many years in the mechanical engineering curriculum, the topics of electric circuit design,mechatronics and instrumentation have all been taught as separate courses. However, thesetopics are all fundamentally related through the manipulation of electrical energy to producesome desired result, whether it be to turn on a light, drive an electric motor, or measure the stressin a beam. In an effort to more explicitly demonstrate how these subjects are related, a set ofthree courses, meant to be taken concurrently, was developed to integrate these topics. Twolecture based courses, one covering mechatronics and one covering instrumentation andexperimental design, as well as a laboratory course that

,statics) would require the course to cover all of that course’s content, severely restricting the natureof the research projects and the time available to work on them. Also, the program is tailored toengineering research objectives that include elements of innovation and technology development,as opposed to discovery (in the natural sciences). Rather than spending extensive periods in aformal teaching laboratory, the students often spend time in the engineering makerspace and/or inthe research labs of their faculty mentors. Research projects are conducted in small teams,generally 2-4 students per team, and students are expected to spend approximately 5 hours/weekon their research—enough time to make steady progress on their project but not
