. Overall, the course aims to teach students analog/digitalsensing technologies, actuation hardware, Proportional-Integral-Derivative control, andmicrocontroller software implementation from a system-level teaching approach ensuring cross-functional debugging skills for each lab. This approach can be advantageous towards studentscompleting their semester project in the design and development of their own mechatronicsystem.IntroductionFrom agricultural to space exploration, mechatronics is an important branch of engineering forunderstanding and solving complex multidisciplinary problems. The engineering workforce hasdemanded more of engineers acquiring mechatronic skills as our society expands for moreintegrative technical products and services [1

Emphasis on the creative process will allow more effective leadership in the development and application of next-generation technologies to problems of the future.The need for humanities and social sciences education for engineers is evident in each ofthese statements.

stresses are easily determined by traditional strength of materials equations,continuum mechanics or by finite element analysis. The second type of mechanical stress thatoccurs in materials is classified as residual stresses. These are the stresses that remain in thematerial after all the applied loads are removed.Mechanical engineering and engineering technology students have a difficult time understandingthe generation of residual stresses, measuring them and their overall effect on design life.Residual stresses typically come from non-uniform plastic flow due to some previous loading ormanufacturing process. Some of these processes are but not limited to casting, machining,welding, grinding, shot peening, quenching, nonuniform cold working such

A team of four students from the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,who prepare a proposal for that specific RFP, was challenged to answer this call for pilot projectsdemonstrating on-site wastewater reclamation and reuse. The students had to first analyzevarious technologies, and then propose, design, build, and operate a pilot of the selectedtechnology. To cover construction costs, the College of Engineering allotted an approximatebudget of $2000.00 for the construction materials of the system, including components that theinfrastructure lab could appropriate and make
