At that time, its focus was on application of electroniccomputers in controlling mechanical systems. Since then it has grown into an engineering designphilosophy that integrates traditional engineering disciplines in the design of products. Althoughmany definitions of the term mechatronics have been proposed, the widely used definition treatsmechatronics as a multidisciplinary engineering philosophy that synergistically combines tradi-tional mechanical engineering with electronics, controls and computing 2 .

To be ready to enter the workforce upon graduation, today’s engineering studentsare expected to develop the skills and knowledge that are fundamental to engineering careers in theirundergraduate years. The Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) has determinedthat fundamental skills include social skills, such as how to communicate effectively or function inmultidisciplinary teams, as well as proven technical skills, such as an ability to apply knowledge of math,science, and engineering [6], [18]. These skills can be referred to collectively as 21st century skills as theyprepare an engineer for contemporary work [7].The acquisition of 21st century skills by undergraduate engineering students may be catalyzed byengaging

, many students often fail to connect their personal experience with technology (e.g.home appliances) with the engineering concepts (e.g. 1st law of thermodynamics) introduced inclass. We are exploring a reconceived approach for introducing students to these importantconcepts. The authors, with expertise in four different engineering disciplines, recognize thatmany discourses in engineering exist in tension with each other. The context in which we teachenergy is too often narrowly defined and framed by both hegemonic disciplinary literacies (i.e.,mechanical engineers tend to focus heavily on steam tables) and dominant cultural perspectives(i.e., White, male, colonial, and heteronormative). Our objective is to redefine the teaching andlearning of
