The main objective ofthis course is to teach students the principles and applications of mechatronic systems. Tenhands-on laboratory projects and two course projects were integrated into the course to enhance astudent’s comprehension of mechatronics concepts. Students were required to complete eachcourse project independently. The outcome of the course was

The Research Studio included an introduction of tissuetest systems and overall EFRI project goals, completion of laboratory safety training, anintroduction to research ethics, technical writing, and basic laboratory practices, participation ina team building exercise, discussion of the projects to which each student would be exposed, anddiscussion of the expectations for and of RPs. Once RPs completed the Research Studio, each RPwas paired with a graduate student mentor and the mentor’s project. After completion of theResearch Studio, each student was required to spend 3 hours on lab

In both cases, the basic concepts are introduced in lecture/discussion sessions taughtby an engineering faculty member. As the need for mathematical tools is demonstrated, the mathteachers teach the necessary math. Hands-on laboratory sessions reinforce the concepts byallowing the participants to build and test appropriate electrical circuits. At the same time theylearn to use modern electrical test equipment -- multimeters, power supplies, oscilloscopes, etc.In companion computer sessions, specialized software (Pspice or Electronic Workbench) is usedto model electrical circuits, and the results of the computer models are

engineering program to the Six Sigma green belt standard. The map shows that programs generally deliver essential statistical methods and content. Other topics in the standard, such as ‘Piloting your solution’, are more suited to experiential activities in laboratories and projects. The outcome of the paper is an indication of how the standard manufacturing curriculum supports the Six Sigma standard. In addition, the paper will highlight aspects of the standard that do not require the addition of new courses but can enhance traditional topic coverage. 2.
