includingits ability to target and be linked to theory of thermal lumped systems covered in the heat transfercourse, the time to run the experiment and whether the experiment can make them rememberlumped systems in the future. From the answers of students, the experiment is deemed veryvaluable in all of the above areas and students were very satisfied with it, and they felt it was agood tool to learn the concepts involved. It is hoped that the experiment can be constructed by,and can help, other mechanical engineering professors struggling with limited funds to procurehands-on set-up for teaching heat transfer concepts.IntroductionEngineering and science departments offer various laboratory courses with experiments designedto enhance the learning

coursestructure: 1) motivate students to synchronize mechatronic course activities with their seniordesign project where possible, and 2) encourage creative thinking over pattern matchingbehavior.MethodologyAt The Citadel, a Mechatronics course was developed to teach subject matter required for thedesign of systems which have electrical, mechanical, and programmable aspects. A laboratory-driven approach was developed to bring together the different subjects and to relate classroomtheory to real world application. Four laboratory exercises develop the students’ understandingof the material, reinforce prerequisite knowledge, and develop hands-on skills. Rogersdocumented success with a similar approach of increasing rigor with successive experimentation[6
