SummaryThe second of two courses whose development was funded by an NSF CCLI grant has beendescribed. The courses address a critical need in the development of mechatronics systems, amultidisciplinary area of increasing importance in products and processes in engineering,particularly in the automotive industry. A major aspect of the course construction was tosupplement theoretical treatment of sensors and actuators with laboratory exercises that requiredworking with

The MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics first cre-ated the Freshman elective Introduction to Aerospace Engineering to assist students interested inmajoring in the field. To make the course more exciting, the design and construction of a modelblimp was integrated into the subject.
