This institute, with generous support fromDaimlerChrysler Corp., was a week-long program that had modules in areas such as computer-aided design, rapid prototyping, robotics, and mechatronics. In the three summers this programran, about 45 young women participated.The mechatronics module of this institute was designed to flow from other institute activities.Specifically, the students participated in a module about mechanical design and solid modeling,learning how to use CAD and a rapid prototyping machine to create a door linkage for anautomatic door similar to the one described above.

Furthermore, the students can be used todevelop projects and handouts that will later be used as hands-on laboratory exercises orclassroom demonstrations. At the same time, the students are getting the background necessaryfor them to be valuable to a research program.This paper presents the results of teaching an independent study course in mechatronics to agroup of six mechanical engineering students.

This capstone experience reflects the“gold-standard” in that our students typically work on industry-sponsored projects thatinclude design and build phases, resulting in a working prototype and requiring sponsorsignoff approval prior to completion (and, hence, graduation). Most projects areinterdisciplinary in nature, requiring various combinations of students from our computer,electrical, mechanical and manufacturing degree programs (typically teams of 5-6students), to develop products that incorporate an assorted range of mechanical,electrical
