The integration of IoT inmechatronics systems has led to enhanced automation and control, improved monitoring andmaintenance, and increased efficiency and productivity.

Bycreating and testing lessons that are closely integrated with elementary science topics, EiEstrengthens the science program while introducing key engineering concepts and fosteringpositive attitudes towards engineers in ways that include girls and boys from a wide variety ofethnic and cultural backgrounds. EiE also seeks to expand children’s images of engineering, andbroaden their interests and expectations for the future.The EiE project is unique in a few ways—it focuses on engineering and it

In response to recommendations from the program evaluators, efforts have been made to successfully integrate engineering design experiences throughout the four-year curriculum. Even those courses typically considered basic science or engineering science now contain problems, projects, and assignments which deal with elements of engineering design. As students acquire knowledge and skills in basic coursework, they are asked to incorporate engineering standards and realistic design considerations in increasingly advanced assignments.
