Abstract


The Department of Information Electronics Engineering at Teikyo University proposes and implements Project Based Learning (PBL)-style classes in the robotics and mechatronics curriculum, in which students collaborate to find and solve problems in their lives. Students enter contests corresponding to the curriculum of laboratory exercises on robotics and mechatronics, and some of their works have been successful in winning prizes in programming contests and university student invention and ingenuity contests. Opportunities for third-party evaluation, such as at academic conferences, appear to foster problem-solving skills and technological capabilities. For example, the handrail sterilization robot developed by students in a mechatronics-related class has gained attention in the prevention of nosocomial infections, and its ability to sterilize patients and medical personnel alike safely and autonomously has demonstrated significant educational effects. Furthermore, since students present their research results on the development of robotics and mechatronics learned in PBL-type classes at academic conferences and international meetings, this robotics and mechatronics curriculum is contributing to the development of engineers with a global perspective.
