Students experience how thedesign and the final product do not always turn out as expected and how important it is to be ableto make changes in the field that will not adversely affect the structural integrity. An opportunityto consider these issues is provided in a structured reflection. Students complete the reflectionafter the ramp is built and prior to the final exam in class.

. Subsequently, a we purchased alarge supply of 20Ω resistors (Newark: 26R3976 $0.026) and planned to have students configurethese to provide an appropriate voltage drop. This turned out to complicate the construction ofthe simulator without adding much educational value. The combination of series and parallelresistors turned out to be very awkward to incorporate in the structure, and in fact, all of thediodes could operate with the full 3V forward drop. In the future we plan to have studentsmeasure these operating parameters and determine the appropriate circuits to drop the excessvoltage, but to use LEDs that operate at 3V and not put the resistors in the circuits. This is alsoin response to a question given to students at the end of the activity

willlikely result in: 1. Confusion that could lead to uncertainty in knowledge gained from the lectures and formal lab exercises. 2. An inability to work with complex systems that cross disciplines. If the initial hands-on challenge is too hard, then skills like project planning and troubleshooting will not be properly developed. 3. Lack of confidence, especially in a student’s ability to understand areas that are not in the students' major. For example, a mechanical engineering student’s understanding of programming and/or electronics. 4. Discouraging students from either careers in mechatronics or applying for jobs with a mechatronic component. In other words, narrowing a student’s perceived career options.The

They need to plan ahead for each of the tasks and allocateappropriate amount of time for each. They often need to set some milestones and check theirprogress against them. This way they can remain on-track for completion of the project.Even following the above steps, the outcome of the project may vary from what was originallyintended for due to some reasons or other. This variation may be favorable or otherwise. Assuch, there is always a need for analysis that identifies any specific strength or weakness as wellas factors that are beyond control.
