, the student had fewer resources available thanhe would have at a larger research university, but benefited from a very close interaction with hisadvisor. Furthermore, using the Informed Design Teaching and Learning Matrix5 as a framework,an evaluation was performed before and after the experience to monitor the evolution of thestudent as a researcher. The student, who was used to traditional course-based learning,manifested remarkable ability to progress and learn in a research-based environment. After theconclusion of the research experience, the student showed growing interest in continuing toperform mechatronics research at the graduate level.The rest of the paper is organized as follows: in Part I, we begin by addressing the project set

their homework computer assignments and the final course project.When hands-on experimentation is implemented in image processing courses, it isusually via computer laboratory assignments done after the class meets. However, in theauthor’s opinion this “waiting period” between the time the knowledge is acquired andthe time it is applied through hands-on activities in unnecessary and may negativelyaffect student learning. Students are more likely to understand and retain the theory if it isillustrated with immediate hands-on experiments. In the course described here, studentswere given the chance to practice the theory at the same time as they were learning it.The remainder of the paper is organized as follows.

have been written about important assessment tools such as alumni feedback,employer surveys, constituents input, etc., with much emphasis on surveys. On the other hand,faculty assesses the outcomes in their classes and are very creative in developing assessmentmethods. However, traditional assessment techniques are not always adequate to measurestudent learning. Rover2 lists many important questions for educators to ask and answerregarding what to teach, how to teach it and, becoming increasingly more important, when toteach it. Therefore, HEI must keep up with pace changes in the “real world” through non-traditional assessment tools. One of them is the interaction with industry through the co-op sitevisit.This paper deals improvements related
