Dr. Mueller’s teaching and research areas focus on environmental and water resources engineering, including stream restoration, sustainable design, environmental river mechanics, and stormwater management practices for low-impact develop- ment. As graduates of Rose-Hulman typically leave with technical competency, she feels strongly that students need to understand the importance of also developing skills in non-technical areas, including sustainability, ethics, and critical thinking. Additionally, Dr. Mueller aspires to continue to provide mean- ingful experiential learning opportunities for her students. Through these experiential

Furthermore, Criterion 3 alsoemphasizes on “…the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, andsocietal contexts.” The teaching of infrastructure-related courses and capstone courses could beenhanced by including emergency preparedness, resiliency and collaboration with communities,giving students a broader view of the engineering practice and their social responsibility asengineering professionals. Besides topics for capstone design projects [6], [11], [12], modulesand class examples on resiliency and emergency management could be developed and integratedinto infrastructure-related courses.Besides the traditional integration of these topics into courses, a deeper revision

The history of mechatronics dates back to early 1970s, when the term mechatronicsoriginated by Tetsuro Mori, an engineer of Yasakawa Electric Corporation in Japan [16]. Initiallythe term mechatronics was dedicated for systems which are combinations of electrical andmechanical components, in general referred as electro-mechanical systems.
