摘要:This paper describes an interdepartmental initiative which aimed at launching the establishment of a shared laboratory facility to support teaching courses related to control, instrumentation and Mechatronics offered by various engineering departments at the University of Manitoba. The paper first outlines the rationale and need for this initiation. The approaches taken so far from upgrading the existing equipment and making them available at the faculty level to purchasing modern equipment are described. Future steps towards using the facility to encourage problem based learning and teaching innovations will also be described.
