It is a central course in the roboticstrack of the electrical engineering program, and the centerpiece of the mechanical engineeringprogram mechatronics track. Details of four hands-on activities that are graduated in difficultyare presented in this paper. The culminating lab utilized an unmanned vehicle. Relatively highspeeds of the vehicle make the project fun and engaging. Instructors report that the hands-onnature motivates students to excel and be creative. Their often

As educators, we are sympathetic with these requests but find that theuniversity is generally unable to apply “hands-on” design experience with eventually leads to theproduction of a prototype. This problem has not gone unnoticed in the field of education today,and there have been great leaps in the creation of more “hands-on” teaching methods that lendthemselves to industrial applications2. Throughout schools and universities within the UnitedStates and internationally, there has been growing interest in the use of practical control conceptsin and beyond the classroom.

The following is a typical response:"It was exciting to be able to get a functional, graduate-level project put together in a span of afew weeks. Especially since the material we learned in the Fundamentals courses played directlyinto the project.
