Assessing current advances in the field,developing a unified understanding of a subdiscipline, determining interesting problems to workon is a tedious, labor-intensive, and intellectually daunting task especially for beginning studentresearchers.In a related development, there has been increased emphasis and efforts to promote undergraduateresearch across universities and colleges in the country. For example, the Council onUndergraduate Research (CUR) is a national organization established to support and promotehigh-quality undergraduate students collaborative research with faculty.1 The NationalConferences on

Thestudent learning experience has been enhanced by interacting with practical engineers andmanagers. The experience has been a Win-Win scenario for the students and the Industrypartner. The students have the opportunity to work on a practical design project and to interactwith outside engineers. The companies also have the ability to work directly with some of ourbrightest and most capable students, providing them an opportunity to identify potential newhires.Bibliography[ 1] Dym, C. L., A.

To reinforce this multidisciplinary knowledge, a series ofteam-based challenge exercises were recently incorporated into a Biomechatronics course at theRochester Institute of Technology (RIT) using the low-cost Robotis Mini Humanoid robot and aproject-based learning approach. Students were required to complete task-based challengesusing both the Robotis virtual platform and the physical humanoid robots. The virtualenvironment allowed students to do the majority of programming outside of the laboratory,thereby minimizing the amount of time required with the actual robots.
