Figure 1: Mechatronic Design ProcessLanguage Neutral ApproachIn mechanical engineering, the focus has typically been on machine improvement throughmechanical design. The majority of design solutions are deployed in the mechanical designitself and do not involve cross-discipline (software and electronic) technologies. One of themajor challenges of any mechatronics sequence is the process for software design,implementation, and testing. Typically the focus is on the embedded software programmingand embedded hardware aspects, which include language, computer architecture, anddevelopment tools.

Although is more difficult todevelop this type of exercise compared to the traditional teaching practice, the benefit of thelatter approach is numerous since: a) It simulates industry practice, b) It develops specific hard-skill and soft-skill of students, c) It provides opportunity for lab instructor to be creative and organized, and
