island.Constitution of the ASEE-UPRM:The ASEE-UPRM is a student organization that has served, since its establishment in 2016, as thepremier multidisciplinary society for individuals and organizations committed to advancingexcellence in all aspects of Engineering and Technology education (vision).1 Our mission is toadvance innovation, excellence, and access at all levels of education for the engineeringprofession.1 When initially founded, our chapter only had 15 members from all engineeringdisciplines. By 2017, the chapter increased its membership to 72 students and for the year, 2018,we already have reached 116 members, all of them are undergraduate engineering students. Thisrepresents an increase of 131% and 47%, respectively. Out of those 116 members, 60
include not only problem solvingabilities, mastery of technical skills and the ability to produce innovative technologies, but alsoto have interdisciplinary skills such as, but not limited to, project management, communication,collaboration and life-long learning5. However, traditional lecture-based learning aids almostexclusively in the development of the technical skills. As a consequence, trends in engineeringeducation have surfaced recently that aim at incorporating design and other engineering practiceskills such as teamwork and project management under the supervision of the ABET engineeringcriteria 20006. Based on these trends, project-based learning has been widely adopted as acomplement to traditional lecture-based courses and enhance

compares planning a course with planning a research project. For TheAerospace Institute this analogy has been modified to an analogy between course design andsystems engineering, which is a concept very familiar to its instructors. This paper walksthrough this methodology and offers suggestions for implementation that should be useful in avariety of educational environments. Examples are provided throughout to illustrate theconcepts. INTRODUCTIONThe Aerospace Institute was established in July 1994 to integrate key corporate educationalresources toward The Aerospace Corporation vision to be the world’s leader in space technology,planning and system engineering. Since then as a part of their charter, The
programs: the Industrial Engineering and theBachelor of Science in Engineering with Specialization in Mechatronics. The CIM course is asenior-level design-based course dealing with modern technologies such as automation, digitalcontrollers, programmable logical controllers (PLCs), computer-numerically controlled (CNC)machines, and robotics. The CIM laboratory curriculum includes hands-on experiences withsimple digital controllers, PLCs, CNC mills, and robots. PLCs are industrial grade computersused extensively in automation. In this study, we concentrate on the PLC experience. Laboratoryexercises are developed to enable students to learn and to enhance their problem-solving skillsusing familiar design situations.PLC Module DescriptionSince the

not a growth field, nothing new is being done, and other technology areas are moreexciting. This situation creates a potential for misfortune. An example can be found with thenuclear engineering field. In recent years enrollment has been down as many nuclear programshave closed their doors. At the same time the combination of a retiring nuclear workforce withthe extension of nuclear plant operating licenses and the possibility of future plant constructionleaves the nuclear industry with a potential shortage of qualified applicants for vacant positions.

portion of a mechatronics device intotheir projects.I. IntroductionMechatronic devices and products are characterized by the integration of sensors, actuators andelectronic control technologies in mechanical systems. The result is the potential for enhancedfunctionality and a degree of smartness and adaptability in the mechatronic system. Theunderlying philosophy of mechatronics is to incorporate the aforementioned elements at theonset of design, envisioning optimal functionality of the device in its earliest stages ofdevelopment.A unique program in mechatronics education at the undergraduate level has recently beenimplemented for mechanical engineering students at Kettering University1,2. The need to do sohas been clearly dictated by an emphasis

opportunities forunderrepresented students. Students are expected to learn to work independently and tocollaborate with other group members as they conduct research in specific topics in energyresearch. This will enable them to understand their own levels of aptitude and interest in a careerin science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and give them the tools to preparefor the next stage in their education and career development. Students will report and present theirresearch results in multiple settings. The research, educational, and career mentorship provided bythe program is envisioned to stimulate the students to look at their academic work in a new lightand to provide a spark for possible careers in academic research or industrial
