. Because of the integrated multidisciplinaryapproach, the scope for innovation in product engineering is ever increasing. With rapidchanges in technology and more applications becoming real-time and embedded, teaching themechatronics course only through laboratories or course projects is not sufficient. The leapfrom the traditional sequential design approach to the mechatronics philosophy is very big.Added to this are the various definitions that have evolved and the various methodologiesdeveloped for the mechatronics system design. Mechatronics is at a stage of evolutionaryprocess of modern engineering design and involves systems thinking. “V-cycle” is aprescribed industrial process for mechatronics.

A good example of this perception is thefact that the EIET program at UNI has recently completed its first year of operation with greatsuccess and increased enrollment. Part of this achievement was due to the fact that the facultyuses advanced software and hardware tools to educate the students that choose the EIET major.This in turn allows for the continuous improvement of the curriculum so that it is always modernand attached to the trends of the ever-expanding electrical engineering
