Working with them demanded continuous monitoring in the face of resistance toreflections about education and the role of the teacher in contemporary engineering.

Discussion and future worksThe issues raised by this study suggest that it will be necessary to review the objective ofengineering generally and mechatronics specifically, as well as continually

Students learned about various aspects of renewable energy including problemidentification, technical, social and environmental constraints, multidisciplinary teammanagement, communications and documentation skills. These projects also provided thestudents with an opportunity to view their designs from an ethical and sustainability awarenessperspective, thus realizing a lifelong learning opportunity. Through practice, the students realizedthat the key success to a design project is team work, industry interaction, and collaborations.Two renewable energy-related courses were developed and are being offered in the department.One of the courses is a

Another student explains that working in a group motivates students to stay on top oftheir work load as well as encourages them to produce higher quality work. This student states,“Working in a group allows me to work harder to guarantee that I do not let my partners down.”This accountability not only improves the students’ work ethic but also improves the way theyinteract with their peers.
