optimal solution to this problem is not. Naturally, theultimate solution involves a national attitude adjustment regarding the role of engineering,science and technology in the education system. In the mean time, the IC industry needsworkers that can begin to address these constraints. One approach is to provide a differentview of microelectronics processing to current IC employees as well as to students in ourengineering, physical science and technology programs. This alternate view is perhaps betterdescribed as an education philosophy that provides a iterative approach to describingelectronic materials processing.

Capstone design course is a critical component in mostengineering and science undergraduate curricula to preparation senior students for their future STEMcareers. However, the quality of capstone design projects does not always meet the expectation due tothe limited resources and support. Although capstone courses are now standard in engineering andscience programs across the US, the associated required logistics and the

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

The proliferation of powerful computersin education and at home, coupled with the availability of many affordable software packages for controldesign and dynamic simulation (or multibody simulation), makes it possible to introduce a significant graph-ical simulation component into the dynamics and control education. In particular, including a substantialgraphical simulation component results in the following benefits: 1 This project is being supported, in part, by the National Science Foundation, Grant No. DUE-9851406
