mechatronics courses formechanical engineering students. In the work by Riofrio and Northrup, they describe a semesterlong project in a mechatronics course for ME students in which they were required to build,instrument, and operate a solenoid engine, using the Arduino controller to simplify the software,electronics, and controls aspects of mechatronics. In this course, the class met for 3 contact hoursper week, and most of the academic rigor is placed on dynamics and kinematics, rather than controlsystems or programming.

associated challenges. Figure 2: (a) Basic Utility Vehicle (BUV)2.0 Literature ReviewProject-Based Learning (PBL)Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach that was first used in Italian Architectureschools and later adopted by engineering schools in the United States [5]. PBL gained traction in the1990s as a result of seminars organized by the Buck Institute for Education (BIE) and their publication ofthe Project Based Learning Handbook in 1999 [6].Kow (2019) [7] defined Project-Based Learning (PBL) as the practical acquisition of knowledge andskills through effective direction from an instructor and the response to feedback from students to solvereal life problems through a group setting. PBL is a
