Modern mechatronics facilitates thedevelopment of products and systems that have new and novel technologies that arefunctionally integrated with information technology and software engineering. As Aboud andHaris [7] put it ‘A typical mechatronic system receives signals from the environment, processesthem to generate new signals, which becomes inputs to actuating mechanisms, translating theminto forces, movements and actions’. It has been said that an ideal mechatronic solution wouldbe that where a deficiency of the mechanical system could be cost-effectively compensated bya suitable control engineering solution. The application areas of mechatronics include

Engineering and Technology regulations). In both Lightboard and the annotated PowerPointvideos, the above aspects are facilitated by the instructor’s interaction with the students throughwritten explanations of concepts and problem-solving. This is an essential component in teachingengineering courses and hence the videos that have this interaction are more appealing to thestudents than the narrated videos which do not have explicitly written explanations. Lightboardvideos have scored slightly higher in terms of student satisfaction in comparison to annotatedPowerPoint videos as the technology is more visually appealing and the presence of theinstructor gives a lively aspect to the videos. This is also evident in survey responses elaboratedin Table 2

Leifer, I integrate approaches from engineering, de- sign and psychology to investigate the contemporary team practice of multicultural design innovation and multicultural, interdisciplinary science innovation. Specifically, I investigate a psychological mechanism – perplexity - through which engineers thrive when their habitual mind clashes with the social realities. In addition, I test interventions to nudge engineers to reframe problematic schema-incongruent situations into unique opportunities for cognitive growth, creative performance, and effective teamwork. My work contributes to revealing the science behind multicultural, interdisciplinary technological collaboration and providing actionable guidance for
