ID 35246course for the mechatronics engineering major, it also serves as an elective for upper lever EE,CpE, and ME students.This course was offered for the first time in the spring of 2020, but an unanticipated shift to onlineinstruction impacted the latter half of the course and influenced assessment results. This paperreports on the course design and particular laboratory experiences, as well as the studentperformance in the (hybrid) pilot of the course.There is existing literature describing similar courses, however, few papers describe these coursesin enough detail to replicate, and many do not cover the exact content that is desired of theMechatronics Systems Design course presented in this work [1]-[9]. Furthermore, few of thesepapers

, pandemic1.0 IntroductionThree mechanical engineering students at the R.B. Annis School of Engineering, University ofIndianapolis were tasked with designing a fixture for the Institute for Affordable Transport (IAT) BasicUtility Vehicle (BUV). BUV produces basic transportation and vehicles for developing countries thatfeature robust and simple designs. The project involved a service component because the BUV is beingused for critical applications including agricultural, water and medical transportation in developingcountries (Figure 1). Exposure of students to such open-ended and real life projects will help the studentsto develop critical professional and technical skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork,problem solving, project management

transition to remote learning occurred in week 11 of 16 and theoriginal completion plan as presented to the students is summarized as follows. 1. Attend two 50 minute synchronous lectures weekly via WebEx® 2. Elimination of in-person and hands-on labs 6 and 7 3. Exams two and three taken via LMS and proctored via WebEx 4. Pop quizzes 7 to 10 taken via LMS and proctored via WebEx 5. Readings 17 to 22 completed asynchronous prior to their respective lectures © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021 2021 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings | Paper ID 35060 The original transition plan was slightly adjusted in week 12 when the instructor openlydiscussed the possibility of

to amplifier analysis anddesign. The analysis and design of amplifiers is most often achieved by calculation, and basic labexercises abstracted from the application to real world scenarios. The lack of obvious real-worldconnection affects the student's ability to conceptualize and perform amplifier design [1].Furthermore, assessment results from previous offerings of the first electronics course in the EEsequence suggest students struggled to understand amplifier design. To address these concerns,there was a desire to integrate these topics for both remediation and content extension into thesecond course in the electronics sequence, which was offered for the first time in the course of thisresearch. © American Society for
