approacheshave been reported in the discipline-based education research literature. One possibility is torestrict contents to theory. A course can also cover system theory and use simulation as a tool toenhance student understanding and to promote exploration in system design. There are well-regarded textbooks that support this approach.3,4It is also possible to use a numerical language as the basis of hands-on experimentation. Verylow-cost approaches, based on using a computer’s soundcard as an analog front-end, arefeasible.5 Other reported approaches digitize laboratory-generated signals, which are laterprocessed and analyzed by students.6Simulation software can be used at different levels of complexity.

IntroductionAs part of the time-honored process of higher learning, mature students naturally helpone another to undertake new intellectual challenges. This mutual assistance inunderstanding science concepts is perhaps most difficult to cultivate among students Page 5.559.1with widely different levels of science preparation, who are majoring in lay sciencedisciplines1, i.e., disciplines other than science. Among the potential problemsassociated with this breadth of professional interest and background preparation inintroductory undergraduate science education is the potential for attrition, as well

IntroductionComputer simulation of dynamic systems is a valuable tool for engineering analysis and design. Itallows for active experimentation, design modification, and subsequent analysis withoutinvestment in raw materials and supplies.The ’chalk and talk’ style of teaching and instruction attempts to transmit knowledge from theteacher to a passive recipient. There is a growing awareness among engineering educators thatwhile this style of instruction is suitable for teaching engineering analysis

home appliances. Rapid changes in theindustry, and the increasing use of microprocessors in many of today′s machines lead to productsthat are mechatronics in nature. In order to design such products, an engineer must have generalknowledge of various design techniques and special knowledge of a blend of technologies. Suchskills can be obtained from multidisciplinary mechatronics courses. Recognizing the need for mechatronics education, some Japanese higher educationalinstitutions[1] and European colleges and universities[2-4] offer courses in mechatronics atdifferent levels. Some schools abroad even plan to offer degree programs[5] in mechatronics.The significance of this can be underscored by the fact that there is already an

Thechallenge is how to bring innovation back into the engineering disciplines, when many of ourfaculty have never worked in industry, and so are not necessarily aware of the complex andmulti-faceted problems faced by industry. The Kern Family Foundation has made it possible,through the Kern Entrepreneurial Education Network (KEEN), to help engineering faculty catchthe vision of the need to inculcate innovation into all phases of the engineering coursework,through the KEEN Innovators Program at Baylor University.
