, students also learned fundamental multidisciplinary principles inorder to achieve a compact, portable, and an affordable system while taking consideration of cost,performance, and functionality.The final class grade confirmed effective learning outcomes of the project team. All five studentsof the team received class grade A or B while the course success was defined a grade C orhigher. In addition, a class survey administered to the team students showed the students' fullsatisfaction with the course on how their learning of multidisciplinary mechatronics engineeringimproved for their professional career development in the future. As a result, students learnedclear lessons on how a multidisciplinary engineering design project is implemented. In
