. Another key feature is the“pulsating” representation where at each “pulse” the different disciplines or subsystems “open”to work independently and then “close” to integrate their findings. The model will be madeavailable for use in senior design courses as well as for prototyping in the author’s research areaof biomechatronics.1 IntroductionThe objective of this paper is to present an initial model for the multidisciplinary interaction ofdisciplines in mechatronics design. The objective of the model is to allow engineers to create astrategy for the interactions among disciplines.“Mechatronics” refers to a new engineering field, which started in Japan in the early 70’s and hascontinued its development since then. Mechatronics has been defined as

TAMU, the lead university in thepartnership, offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in nuclear engineering and is one of thelargest nuclear engineering departments in U.S3. TAMU has offered courses to PVAMUthrough the Trans-Texas Videoconference Network (TTVN) system. This has allowed thePVAMU program to grow as the requirement to develop courses is reduced and students canenroll in the courses offered by TAMU through TTVN. The program s primarily designed to develop efficient manpower for the nuclear energyindustry from the under representative groups. In the same contrast, this program is expected tooffer introductory courses in the areas of radiation biology

This safety netof the second cycle allows students to succeed on challenging design projects. Finally, a doublecycle provides another aspect of authenticity to a design course. Professional designers learnfrom prototypes with the intent of redesign for many of these same reasons.The author thanks the students whose participation, creativity, and follow-through made thisstudy possible. The author also thanks the reviewers for offering thoughtful perspective andimprovements.

These calculations are requiredbefore optimization can be attempted. We have to find field-assembled costs forcentrifugal machine with motor drive ranging from 200 to 3,000 BHP.

There are two basic ways the class can operate for the projects: i) several unrelatedprojects can be undertaken by the student groups or ii) one project can be undertaken withdifferent student teams. Each way has its individual merits. When many projects are undertaken,the students can pick a topic of their choice. The professor should have several possible choices,since students don’t always have a project in mind. Often, and preferably, students bring aproject in from their work term.

In Clusters 1, 3, and 4, one of the variables that do nothave an overlapping confidence interval bar is the concern of ideas being heard by others(BeingHeard).
