Course Note:
The Mechatronics Re-Envisioned Grant’s primary focus was to digitize a portion of the Mechatronics curriculum to encourage student engagement and interaction with topics before they attend class. This flipped classroom model is a dynamic way to introduce topics via interactive software so that students come to class prepared to dive deeper into the material, receive greater feedback and guidance from instructors, and have more time for hands-on labs and activities. This redesigned curriculum is one of many tools used by the instructor and is in no way a complete course.
