components.Mechatronics is a newer branch of mechanical engineering that is a synergistic combination ofmechanical, electrical, electronics, computer science, control techniques, and informationsystems. Integrating mechatronics content in mechanical engineering curriculum has been achallenge since it has been viewed as a significant deviation from traditional courses. In the past,pedagogical approaches like semester-long, project-based classes, or linking mechatronics toother engineering disciplines, have been used to integrate mechatronics into the mechanicalengineering curriculum, with varying results. Furthermore, teaching an interdisciplinary class ofthis nature within a semester is a difficult pedagogical endeavor. To overcome these issues, thetopics and

Asking students to write down what was least clear to them is a potentially powerful integrative exercise because it requires students to identify any misconceptions or difficulties they may be having with the material, opening a dialogue with the instructor and allowing students to a more profound learning outcome. Finally, for (7) engaging in experiential learning, the lecture materials offered heavy contextualization, such as emphasizing group work that related to real- world engineering problems.

Also,online collaboration can facilitate peer assessment and peer learning. While it was found thatMiro was an effective learning tool in an engineering laboratory-intensive course, the smallsample size makes for the fact that these results cannot be generalized. A follow-up study withmore participants is required.ConclusionOur study confirms that Miro can be easily employed to facilitate effective online collaboration,thus enhancing student engagement.

This paper discusses thedevelopment, implementation, and results of integrating active learning modules (ALM’s)throughout an engineering curriculum with the goal of providing an effective learning resourcethat reinforces fundamental, yet challenging, course concepts without requiring knowledge of therigorous mathematical theory underlying the finite element method. Fifteen ALM’s have beenimplemented into eight courses at six different universities; this paper focuses on four ALM’sthat have been implemented at the University of the Pacific for several years thereby providing asignificant amount of data.

This complexity requires system thinkingand can easily become interdisciplinary [1, 2].
