mechatronics products and systems projects to be designed;
built and tested and sometimes contested between groups. Currently;
the National Science Foundation’s Undergraduate Education Division is sponsoring a project entitled Preparing the Leaders for Mechatronics Education to be undertaken by Cal Poly’s Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department. This is an indication of the emphasis placed on further developing mechatronics education in the U.S. It will not be too long before we see a full degree program in mechatronics engineering in a United States university. A further funding by National Science Foundation was awarded to San Jose State University to develop a new curriculum stem (not a new degree program) in Mechatronics Systems Engineering in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. This will involve developing five new courses (modules) and a new mechatronics engineering laboratory;
also with the aid of donated equipment by a leading computer company. The undergraduate courses to be developed are as follows: 1) fundamentals of mechatronics engineering;
2) electromechanical system and microprocessor applica-tions;
3) design for manufacturability in electronics and computer equipment;
4) introduction to micro-manufacturing;
5) control of manufacturing processes. The Mechatronics Engineering Laboratory was developed to support the instruction of Mechatronics Systems Engineering course and to enable students to gain significant hands-on laboratory experiences in mechatronics.Each of the United States’ universities which claims to teach mechatronics mainly offers a course (module or unit) in microprocessor or microcontroller applications usually at the senior year level. A list of these institutions can be found in Table VIII. Some institutions offer modules in mechatronics product or system design;
but no coherent total degree program was offered in any United States university. This is sometimes due to the structure and rules of the institution (e.g;
in some cases to offer a degree program it would be necessary to have a Department of Mechatronics). An exception to this is the integrated interdepartmental curriculum which is being developed jointly by the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of The Ohio State University. This pilot project is sponsored by a NSF-DUE curriculum development grant and also supported by the Ford Motor Company;
