The project wascompleted during academic year 2011-12.Several hands-on modules were developed for three courses in the engineering curriculum,spanning the entire freshman to senior experience. The modules were developed with “activelearning” principles in mind, to ensure students’ full participation in the learning process in theclassroom. The author chose the affordable and now widely adopted LEGO Mindstormsplatform to illustrate basic mechatronics concepts and applications.The targeted courses were the freshman “Introduction to Engineering and Design” course, junior“Kinematics” course, and senior “Dynamic Systems and Control” course.

This participant was very attentive to all details of his design, and made sureto list all resources and constraints before the project got going. He was also the only participantthat suggested looking at other playgrounds for examples. His design obtained a high qualityscore. He moved through the process with a procedure in mind, which at the end seemed to stophim from finishing completely, as it appeared that he was used to completing multiple iterationsor having more time to revise.

Those partners that make the bestinvestment in technically competent employees are going to be those that prosper inthe 21st century.In conjunction with lecturing and testing, it is important to engage students andchallenge them in a creative problem-solving manner that fosters their individualgrowth and development.
