• Resumen

  • The introduction of human computer interaction (HCI) technology has made the teaching curriculum for engineering far morestimulating and approachable. This study proposes the use of a graphical human interface to facilitate learning in an experimentalmodule in mechatronics. Students learn the principles, function, and application of mechatronics via the interface to demonstrate the use of technology in human-computer interaction. This study focused on five main elements: (1) The development and testingof a learning platform for the mechatronics module; (2) learning exercises specifically tailored to laboratory objectives; (3) theconvenience and user-friendliness of the proposed system; (4) the technical aspects of the platform in question; (5) the developmentof approaches to further enhance learning. This paper makes two fundamental contributions to the field of mechatronics education.First, we have developed a system that provides greater flexibility, accessibility, and ease of use for students. Second, we present anapproach to curriculum development that is demonstrably faster in its progress from design to process planning.
