The students were required to read andcomprehend the proposed physical model and experiment procedure outlined in the originalpaper. They then had to adapt it to the available equipment in our university laboratory. Oncethe teams had collected data, they were to analyze and compare it with the physical modelingof the observed phenomenon. Finally, they were to create a self-explanatory videopresentation, limited to 10 minutes, where the student teams explained the physicalphenomenon, the modeling, the experiment conducted, and the analysis and conclusionsdrawn.

concepts in the measurement laboratory/lecture (ME 335/L) and introduction tomechatronics (ME 435/L), a traditional mechanical engineering course, are interlinked to providestudents with a unified learning experience. As a first step in this direction, ME 335/L was madea prerequisite to ME 435/L, which allowed the students to learn about the fundamental topics inME 335/L, and thus be prepared to tackle more complex topics in ME 435/L course. The ME335/L was redesigned to incorporate more tools, instrumentation, and programs typically used inME 435/L. The key experiments in ME 335/L were tailored to expose students to topicscommonly encountered in ME 435/L. This integrated approach to mechatronics allowed studentsto build a strong fundamental

Also, the program is tailored toengineering research objectives that include elements of innovation and technology development,as opposed to discovery (in the natural sciences). Rather than spending extensive periods in aformal teaching laboratory, the students often spend time in the engineering makerspace and/or inthe research labs of their faculty mentors. Research projects are conducted in small teams,generally 2-4 students per team, and students are expected to spend approximately 5 hours/weekon their research—enough time to make steady progress on their project but not
