the lessons learned from teaching in higher education.IntroductionThe academic field of building design becomes confounding when the variety of students,teachers, courses, programs, and intuitional types intermingle. We have a blend of engineeringand architecture students, engineering and architecture courses, accrediting boards, and publicand private institutions of higher education. At the simplest level, engineering students enroll inengineering courses and architecture students enroll in architecture courses in a public land-grant institution. More complex teaching and learning scenarios occur when the engineeringmajors take architecture courses in the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) accredited degree programs and

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

Local solutions involvehorizontal innovation networks to create assistive technology that is modifiable by healthcareprofessionals and patients, not just the engineers that created the device. However, the ability tocommunicate between engineers, healthcare professionals, and patients requires empathy.A number of other researchers have investigated the importance of developing empathy in theirengineering courses. Mitchell and Light (2018) have incorporated initial challenger interviews,subject matter expert speakers or videos, stakeholder engagement plans, and reflection exercisesto help students develop empathy in “EPICS,” a first-year design course at Colorado School ofMines [2].

Participants were asked to indicate the professions of severalfamily members (mother/guardian 1, father/guardian 2, siblings, other relative, and spouse) as any of severaloptions (medical/health professional, scientist, engineer, teacher, other science, technology, or math relatedfield, and non-science related career). Each potential profession was treated as its own binary independentvariable indicating the presence of that profession among any of the indicated family members.

I feel like it’s such a varied field you can dowhatever you want with it.My mom pushed me to take piano classes for several years and to be creative. However,unfortunately, the downside of being in such a science and technology-heavy high school held meback from other things that I’m good at like English and Art. There were no art classes, there wereno music classes, the English curriculum was not very good at all. That’s why I’ve been trying tomake up for that in college by taking fun Gen Eds like theatre, anthropology, cooking
