AB  - A mechatronics course was developed as a multidisciplinary course for undergraduate students in Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) and Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) at Oklahoma State University. The Fundamentals of Mechatronics course serves as the foundational course for three other Mechatronics courses, which will be the core of the proposed minor and graduate programs at the Division of Engineering Technology. It is a three credit hour course with two-hour lecture and one-hour laboratory session. It is currently an elective course but will be a required core course for the mechatronics minor. This paper presents the development of laboratory activities for the course. The laboratory activities focus on a wide variety of electrical,
mechanical, and control applications synchronized with the lectures. The labs start with designing a linear regulated power supply to enhance the electrical background of students. The experiments extensively use National Instrument’s LabVIEW graphical programming language and myRIO hardware to control electro-pneumatic systems and dc motors along with various other sensors interface. The paper presents the development of the laboratory infrastructures and the challenges faced during the development of this interdisciplinary course. One of the major challenges stemmed from the fact that the class was comprised of two groups of students, MET and EET, who have much different backgrounds. Sample course material, laboratory activities,
student assignments are presented to show the pedagogical approach followed in the course. Assessment of student performance and feedback from students are also presented. The paper will be helpful for instructors who are looking for developing a mechatronics laboratory for students with a diverse background latter.
