Describing the advantagesand limitations of the mechatronics course as a multidisciplinary teaching endeavor provides acatalyst for the development of other courses.The short term goals are to evaluate the existing course content and integrate more labs anddemonstrations that could make an immediate impact on the students’ learning.

Students reported that the projects positively contributed to theirunderstanding of course material. We also found that students’ awareness of the GrandChallenges and the role that signal processing can have in finding solutions increased. A numberof students indicated that they plan to pursue more in-depth projects inspired by what theylearned during the laboratory.1. IntroductionThe National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has identified a set of fourteen Grand Challengesfor current engineering research and practice.
