Thelast laboratory session, for ELET Laboratory IV, may be offered as a new course, ELET 3641Senior Design Project, in the last year of the program. We anticipate requiring at least twofaculty members and one teaching assistant on each Saturday. Two sections will be offeredsimultaneously on the UNC Charlotte campus on four Saturdays. With the cooperation of Wake Technical College, two similar special sections oflaboratory sessions are being planned for the students at the Raleigh site to preclude their havingto make the 3-hour drive to Charlotte.

describes our efforts in renovating an existing non-required mechatronicscourse to upgrade the contents of the course and to improve the students’ learning experience.The main efforts include developing lecture materials, demo tools, and laboratory projectmodules employing model-based design approach, using Matlab, Simulink, and a number ofother Mathworks toolboxes. These tools simplify the process of system modeling, control design,and embedded microcontroller programming for rapid prototyping and design verification.1.

. However, they may burden the student with a need to apply thealgebra of circuit analysis to more complex circuits than the traditional curriculum. The need is to applymathematical models (for example, simultaneous equations) to various example circuits in DC and AC circuitanalysis. The authors describe a teaching strategy and a curriculum model which uses a circuit simulator towork with circuits as if they had laboratory test instruments available, giving the flavor of a real laboratory, andmathematics software which permits students to interact with mathematical solutions to obtain graphical,numerical and symbolic results. Such a curriculum brings the mathematics of circuit analysis into the sameframework of interactive discovery as the rest of
