"Mechatronics" is a strategy which involves integrating mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and computer science into the fundamental design process, rather than engineering each set of requirements separately. This project will conduct an intensive summer workshop and a follow-up conference to enhance the knowledge, skills and instructional capabilities of 40 undergraduate faculty members drawn from institutions throughout the USA to launch and lead interdisciplinary courses in "Mechatronics Education" at their institutions. The workshop will illustrate how mechatronics engineering concepts can be successfully introduced at the undergraduate level in an integrated way--from the design of complex products to final manufacturing. The program will be offered in the following three phases: A six-day Residential Workshop at CalPoly (Summer '95) involving hands-on projects and demonstrations on design and manufacturing of complex products and concurrent engineering, a two-day follow-up session at an industrial site (Summer '96) in which participants report on efforts to introduce new concepts at their home institutions. During a one year follow-through phase, the participants will utilize electronic mail and teleconference facilities to exchange ideas. The participants will be provided with ample opportunities to gain hands-on experience with several traditional and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes as well as concurrent engineering tools. Lecture notes, comprehensive multi-media course material demonstrating the equipment, software and the manufacturing processes used by the participants during the workshop in the design and fabrication of the complex products will be prepared and will be made available to the participants. The follow-up activities will be in the form of a conference that will be held at an industrial site, and industry participation will be provided through tours of plants in the San Francisco bay area. Conference proceedings in which the participants report on their accomplishments will be prepared as an outcome of the workshop. Several papers will be submitted for publication, and presentations will be made at national ASEE conferences.

“机电一体化”是一种将机械工程、电子工程和计算机科学集成到基本设计过程中的策略，而不是单独设计每组需求。该项目将举办一次密集的夏季研讨会和一次后续会议，以提高来自美国各地机构的 40 名本科教员的知识、技能和教学能力，在其机构中启动和领导“机电一体化教育”跨学科课程。该研讨会将说明如何以集成的方式在本科阶段成功引入机电一体化工程概念——从复杂产品的设计到最终制造。 该计划将分以下三个阶段进行：在加州理工学院举行为期六天的住宅研讨会（95 年夏季），涉及复杂产品的设计和制造以及并行工程的实践项目和演示；在工业现场举行为期两天的后续会议（96 年夏季），参与者报告在其所在机构引入新概念的努力。在一年的后续阶段，参与者将利用电子邮件和电话会议设施交换想法。 参与者将有充足的机会获得几种传统和最先进的制造工艺以及并行工程工具的实践经验。 将准备讲义、综合多媒体课程材料，展示参与者在研讨会期间设计和制造复杂产品时使用的设备、软件和制造工艺，并将提供给参与者。 后续活动将以会议的形式在工业现场举行，并通过参观旧金山湾区的工厂来提供行业参与。 与会者报告其成就的会议记录将作为研讨会的成果而编写。 多篇论文将提交出版，并将在全国 ASEE 会议上发表演讲。
