3 3 1. INTRODUCTION a. Background In the modern engineering world, it is rare that anything is purely mechanical or electrical engineering. More often than not, problems faced by engineers require an integration of mechanical and electrical aspects, along with control and software, to develop a viable solution. The domain of mechatronics engineering represents the fusion of these four areas. Mechatronics engineers are trained in all four sub-disciplines (mechanical, electrical, control, and software) to make them hybrid engineers able to tackle a wide range of challenges. The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science s (FEAS) Department of Automotive, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Engineering (AMME) has had a successful Mechatronics Option as part of its current BEng Mechanical Engineering Program since However, to meet the needs of the 21st century marketplace and to grow the program, the timing is right to spin-off the option into a standalone BEng Mechatronics Engineering program, along with a corresponding BEngM Mechatronics Engineering and Management program. The new Mechatronics Engineering program will build upon the current Mechatronics Option and primarily utilize courses from FEAS s Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical, and Software Engineering programs. In particular, the new program will eliminate specialized courses in the domain of electrical engineering that are currently being offered in the Mechatronics Option and replace these with core courses from the Electrical Engineering program. This will allow for much better utilization of courses across the Faculty s various programs. All told, only six new core courses will need to be created, with two of the six courses being restructured versions of existing courses from the current Mechatronics Option. In addition, one new engineering elective course has been added to the program. The development of a standalone Mechatronics Engineering program has been identified as a strategic priority of FEAS. The Faculty has a number of core faculty members in the area of mechatronics and is currently recruiting another. UOIT s mission is to Provide superior undergraduate and graduate programs that are technology-enriched and responsive to the needs of students and the evolving workplace. As mentioned above, in the profession of engineering, there is a growing need for engineers that have the necessary skills to meet the challenges of solving interdisciplinary problems. From automotive/transportation systems, to consumer products, to energy systems, mechatronics plays a key role in an ever-expanding range of engineering problems. It is imperative that UOIT continues to evolve its programs to meet the needs of the modern workforce. A standalone Mechatronics Engineering program will help FEAS and UOIT continue to offer the programs that students need and employers want. In addition to the standard Mechatronics Engineering program, FEAS will also be offering a Mechatronics Engineering and Management program. This program will be of the same format as all of FEAS s other management options where the students do an additional

4 4 year of business courses between Years 3 and 4 of their engineering program. b. Student Demand There is already a clearly demonstrated demand amongst students for mechatronics engineering. Within FEAS s current mechanical engineering program, the mechatronics option has always been very popular. It makes sense to build upon this popularity and the growing demand by employers for mechatronics engineers to offer a stand-alone mechatronics program. A stand-alone program will allow UOIT to better market the program and grow enrolment. Table 1 presents the projected enrolment for the program. The numbers assume 15% attrition from Years 1 to 2, 5% attrition between Years 2 and 3, 50% net new registrations, 50% movement within existing programs, and +/- for Year 4 for internship and co-op. Table 1. Projected enrolment by year of operation and program year. YEAR OF OPERATION Yr 1 Yr 2 Yr 3 Yr 4 TOTAL ENROLMENT c. Societal Need Most modern systems have elements of mechanical, electrical, control, and software. Having engineering graduates that are trained in all four aspects gives them an advantage over students who are purely mechanical or electrical. Employers want graduates who are adaptable and that have a diverse set of skills. There is a growing shortage of engineers trained in mechatronics as noted by Mayne (2010) 1. This shortage is only expected to grow 2. Currently, employers such as GE, Ontario Power Generation, General Motors, and Magna, hire graduates from the existing Mechanical Engineering Mechatronics Option. The enhanced skillset offered by the proposed Mechatronics Engineering program will only increase the demand for UOIT Mechatronics Engineering graduates. As per all engineering programs offered by FEAS, the new Mechatronics Engineering program has been designed to meet the requirements of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB)

5 5 d. Duplication Currently, only McMaster University, the University of Waterloo, and the University of Western Ontario offer standalone accredited undergraduate programs in Mechatronics Engineering in Ontario. There is clearly a need in Ontario, and in particular the eastern half of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), for additional universities to offer standalone mechatronics programs. UOIT is well positioned to meet this need. Although there is always a possibility of offering programs in conjunction with other institutions, in the case of the proposed program this would not be necessary. UOIT s FEAS has already demonstrated that it can successfully offer mechatronics as an option within mechanical engineering and has been doing so since There is no reason it cannot expand the option to a standalone program with minimal additional resources. Institution: McMaster University Program Name and Credential: BEng in Mechatronics Engineering Program Description: As per the McMaster University web site: At different Universities Mechatronics Engineering is offered with different flavours - Mechanical, Electrical, or Embedded Systems. We, at McMaster University, have designed an innovative world class Mechatronics program that offers a balance of Mechanical, Electrical and Software content with a focus on Embedded Systems Design. The program accepted the initial class of second year students in September Our Mechatronics program gives students a solid foundation in Mechanical, Software and Electrical Engineering and then exposes students to a suite of innovative Mechatronics specific lab-based courses for a hands-on experience that provides significant advantages in todays job market. Similarities and Differences: McMaster s program is one of only three stand-alone mechatronics engineering programs in Ontario. The program is housed in the Department of Computing and Software at McMaster University. The McMaster program s focus is on embedded systems design, which is only one aspect of mechatronics engineering. UOIT s program differs from the McMaster program in the heavy emphasis on engineering design in the UOIT program. Design is the key function of engineers and UOIT s FEAS AMME engineering programs feature a core engineering design course in every year of the program. This is a signature feature of UOIT s FEAS AMME engineering programs and differentiates them from many other programs in the province.

6 6 Program Description: As per the University of Waterloo web site: The Mechatronics program at the University of Waterloo is administered by department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering. The Mechatronics program differs very significantly from the Mechanical Engineering program in the courses that students take. Half of the second and third year courses in the Mechatronics program are provided by the Systems Design Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering departments. This makes the Mechatronics program the ideal choice for students who would prefer a broad interdisciplinary engineering education that is nonetheless highly integrated and focussed. Similarities and Differences: Waterloo s program is one of only three stand-alone mechatronics engineering programs in Ontario. The program is housed in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering. UOIT s program differs from the Waterloo program in the heavy emphasis on engineering design in the UOIT program. Design is the key function of engineers and UOIT s FEAS AMME engineering programs feature a core engineering design course in every year of the program. This is a signature feature of UOIT s FEAS AMME engineering programs and differentiates them from many other programs in the province. Links: Institution: University of Western Ontario Program Name and Credential: BESc in Mechatronic Systems Engineering Program Description: As per the University of Western Ontario web site: Mechatronics is the combination of mechanical, electrical, computer, control, and systems design engineering to create useful products. The combination of these engineering principles helps generate simpler, more economical, reliable and versatile systems. Western Engineering is excited to launch its Mechatronic Systems Engineering program in September Our program will be unique in its multi-year design focus. Throughout the program, you will take core courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering as well as core courses in Mechanical and Materials Engineering. In addition to these core concepts, you will receive specialized instruction in mechatronic design principles through a three-year design curriculum, as well as specialized instruction in robotics and advanced sensing. Similarities and Differences: Western s program is one of only three stand-alone mechatronics engineering programs in Ontario. The program is a joint program between the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. UOIT s program is similar to that of Western s with the heavy focus on design engineering. Design is the key function of engineers and UOIT s FEAS AMME engineering programs feature a core engineering design course in every year of the program. Links:

39 Appendix C: Library Report

40 University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) Library Submission for the Mechatronics Program Proposal supporting Provincial Quality Assurance Compiled by: Carol Mittlestead, B.A. (Hon.), M.L.S., Associate Librarian Introduction: The following outlines the resources and services provided by the Library in support of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology s (UOIT) proposed Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechatronics with a management option. This document begins by emphasizing program specifics at the undergraduate level, and concludes with general information about the Library. The term collections is used to describe both paper and electronic resources books, indexes, periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers), librarian recommended web sites, and data sets; the term accessibility addresses the physical presence of the Library, onsite reference assistance, the Library web page as a 24/7 portal, and interlibrary loan and document delivery. Program Specific Collections: The Library selects resources to meet the information needs of both faculty and students. It is understood that UOIT Mechatronics is the design and application of intelligent, computer-controlled electromechanical systems...(it) can be thought of as the merging or integration of Mechanical Engineering, Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Control Engineering and Software Engineering ( September 18, 2013). Similarly, appropriate materials are available for those who enroll in the Management option. Traditional (largely paper based) Resources: There are approximately 17,000 engineering volumes currently housed in the Library. Over the past five years approximately $110,000 per annum has been invested for the addition of just under 1,000 engineering volumes per year. This will continue into at a slightly lesser rate ($90,000- $100,000) as more monies are designated for engineering e-books (see below). Examples of titles relevant to mechatronics include: Introduction to Mechatronics and Measurement Systems (McGraw-Hill, 2012) Mechatronics System Design (Cengage Learning, 2011) Micromechatronics: Modeling, Analysis, and Design with MATLAB (CRC Press, 2009) Advanced Mechatronics: Monitoring and Control of Spatially Distributed Systems (World Scientific, 2009) Automotive Mechatronics: Operational and Practical Issues (Springer, 2011) Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics: From Fundamental Concepts to Governing Equations (Cambridge University Press, 2012) In that physics, chemistry, and mathematics are supporting disciplines for engineering, it should be noted that there are currently 23,000 science volumes on the Library s shelves. The investment per year over the past three years has been $128,000 per annum, but this is expected to decrease to $100,000 with the increased release of science e-books and their consequent purchase. With respect to the management option, it should be noted that for the last five years, investment in business books has been consistent at $55,000 to $60,000 per annum. Topics addressed include planning, accounting and finance, economics, project management, information systems, business ethics, statistics and quantitative analysis, marketing, e-commerce, entrepreneurship, organizational behaviour, and international business including intercultural communication. Presently there are just over 200 books within the collection that combine engineering and business perspectives. Amongst these titles are:

41 Engineering for Your future: The Professional Practice of Engineering (John Wiley & Sons, 2012) Business Strategies and Approaches for Effective Engineering Management (Business Science Reference, 2013) Ethics and Professionalism in Engineering (Broadview Press, 2010) Fundamentals of Engineering Economics (Pearson, 2013) Six Sigma for Technical Processes: An Overview for R&D Executives, Technical Leaders and Engineering Managers (Prentice Hall, 2007) While the publication of these types of books is limited, the Library will continue to purchase titles that specifically address management for engineers. More advanced bachelor s students will also benefit from consulting books on presentations, surveys and statistics, feasibility studies and grant writing. Digital Resources: E-books The Library is investing heavily in e-books (see General Library Information below). While some are annual subscriptions, others are individual titles or publisher groupings by subject or date release (e.g. titles published in 2010) purchased on a one time basis. The UOIT Library offers three distinct points for accessing its e-titles through its catalogue, through the list of vendor sites that appears on the UOIT Library web site and through the Scholars Portal e-book database. Scholars Portal is a project of the Ontario Council of University Libraries. In terms of e-books, it offers a platform for combining titles from numerous vendors (e.g. Canadian Electronic Library (includes government documents), Springer, Taylor & Francis, Cambridge, Oxford) thus allowing for a single search. The Scholars Portal e-book database also includes numerous open access documents meaning older publications that are now free in that their copyright has expired and/or that digitization rights have been acquired. The UOIT Library currently offers access to approximately 15,285 purchased (subscription or one-time cost-- see above) engineering e-books. Searching under the library subject heading of mechatronics, and the closely related categories of mechanical engineering, microelectronics and microelectromechanical systems reveals the 1,040 e-books that would probably be deemed to be most relevant. Examples of these-book titles including their publishers and/or database include: System Dynamics: Modeling, Simulation, and Control of Mechatronic Systems (John Wiley & Sons, 2012 in Books 24x7) Advanced Dynamics and Model-Based Control of Structures and Machines (Springer, 2012 in Springer and Scholars Portal) Sensors for Mechatronics (Elsevier, 2012 in Books 24x7) The Industrial Electronics Handbook: Control and Mechatronics (CRC Press, 2011 in CRCnetbase) Manufacturing Execution Systems: Optimal Design, Planning and Development (McGraw-Hill, 2009 in Access Engineering) Principles of MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) (Wiley-IEEE Press in IEEE Xplore Digital Library) Journals, Transactions, Conference Proceedings and Standards Patrons can search for journals through an abstracting or indexing tool such as Science Citation Index Expanded for a comprehensive overview or they can search more directly for full text. Journals are available as traditional paper subscriptions, single electronic titles, or as one of several titles within an electronic database. These resources are not only a venue for periodicals; many also offer technical reports, conference proceedings and standards. Below is an overview of journal holdings information pertinent to Mechatronics. First, a listing of electronic

42 indexes and databases is provided. While indexes and databases allow for searching by specific journal title, their intrinsic value lies in their ability to perform subject searches across all content held within the database; the user starts with a concept and pulls articles from numerous journals simultaneously. Secondly, a sample listing of Mechatronic journal titles is provided; each has a high impact factor. While this report does not focus on business databases, it should be noted that those in the Management option are welcome to use products such as ABI/Inform Complete, Business Source Complete, Lexis Nexis Academic, CBCA Complete and the Conference Board of Canada. On a more granular level, what is provided below is a sampling of specific journal titles that are relevant to engineers seeking a management perspective. Indexes and Databases Extremely Relevant: ACM (American Computing Machinery) ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers see also under Scitation) ASTM Digital Library (American Society of Testing & Materials handbooks, transactions, etc.) ASTM Standards Compendex Computer Science Index CSA (Canadian Standards Association) Online IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers journals, transactions, conference proceedings, standards (approved and draft)) Inspec (IEE Institution of Electrical Engineers) NTIS (National Technical Information Service) Scholars Portal Journals (OCUL portal for simultaneous access to multiple publishers e.g. Elsevier/Science Direct, Springer, Kluwer, Wiley) Science Citation Index Expanded (Part of ISI Web of Science) Scitation (AIP American Institute of Physics, SPIE Society of Optical Engineering & ASME American Society of Mechanical Engineering) Scopus Very Relevant: Annual Reviews Physical Sciences CCOHS (Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety) -includes MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and associated Ontario and federal legislation and standards Derwent Innovations Index (patents) IOP (Institute of Physics) MathSciNet Proquest Science/ Applied Science and Technology SIAM (Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics) In the above listings, note the inclusion of databases such as ASTM, CSA, CCOHS and IEEE that offer online standards. While a comprehensive collection is provided through these products, it is certainly not all inclusive. Each year following faculty requests, the Library purchases print copies of additional standards at $10,000 to $15,000 per annum. This budget year the Library will also pursue an online subscription with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). Faculty and students will gain electronic access to many of this organization s technical reports, e-books, and standards; some content is still only available in paper. A SAMPLING of UOIT Mechatronics journals is provided below. The first three lists are relevant to all students while the third grouping is directed to those enrolled in the management option. In creating these lists, rankings by JCR (Journal Citation Reports) impact factors were taken into consideration. While mechatronics integrates or merges components from various engineering sectors, it is generally

43 thought to be aligned most closely with mechanical engineering. Consequently, for the purposes of this report in providing a comprehensive illustration of UOIT library journal holdings, the list created using the JCR subject categories of Engineering, Mechanical; Mechanics; Engineering, Manufacturing; and Engineering, Industrial is the weightiest. The second sample list based on the JCR subject categories of Automation and Control Systems; and Engineering, Electrical and Electronic as representative of the electrical engineering component within mechatronics, and the third list based on the JCR subject categories of Computer Science, Software Engineering; Computer Science, Information Systems; and Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence as representative of the software and computer engineering components within mechatronics have been prepared with less rigor. SAMPLE High Ranking UOIT Mechanical Engineering Journals (most comprehensive list- see description above): Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics Applied Mechanics Reviews Applied Thermal Engineering Composites Part A Applied Science and Manufacturing Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering IEEE-ASME Transactions on Mechatronics International Journal of Fatigue International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer International Journal of Impact Engineering International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture International Journal of Mechanical Sciences International Journal of Plasticity International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing International Journal of Production Economics International Journal of Thermal Sciences Journal of Fluid Mechanics Journal of Fluids and Structures Journal of Mechanical Design Journal of Microelectromechanical Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids Journal of Vibration and Control Mechatronics Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing Mechanism and Machine Theory Nonlinear Dynamics Structure and Infrastructure Engineering Wear SAMPLE High Ranking UOIT Electrical Engineering Journals (see description above) Assembly Automation Automatica Control Engineering Practice Digital Signal Processing IEEE Control Systems Magazine IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine IEEE Signal Processing Magazine IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control Journal of Dynamic Systems Measurement and Control

As mentioned above, the Library also supports those in the management option with high ranking journals. Examples of high impact UOIT journals for the JCR categories of Engineering, Multidisciplinary; Engineering, Industrial; and Operations Research and Management Science include: Engineering Management Journal Engineering Optimization IEEE Engineering Management Review IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications IIE (Institute of Industrial Engineers) Transactions Journal of Engineering and Technology Management Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management Journal of Product Innovation Management Journal of Quality Technology Probability in the Engineering and Information Sciences Production and Operations Management

45 Production Planning and Control Quality and Reliability Engineering International Reliability Engineering and System Safety Research in Engineering Design Technovation Instructional and Research Support: To assist all patrons with approaching their respective areas of study, UOIT Librarians prepare discipline specific online Research Guides. Each introduces books and e-books, articles and databases, statistics and data, librarian evaluated websites, and media. As appropriate, there are also sections on government and legal resources and/or standards and patents. There is a general Research Guide for Engineering/Technology as well as guides specifically focusing on standards and various aspects of engineering (e.g. automotive, electrical, manufacturing). The link to Engineering, Mechanical is provided here when the Mechatronics program is approved, this resource will be used as a foundation for creating a Research Guide specific to Mechatronics. The Library s Research Guides are widely promoted to faculty and students. For example, as well as various access points being offered through the UOIT Library web site the Research Guides have recently become embedded in Blackboard, UOIT s online learning and course management tool. Course prefixes (e.g. ENGR for Engineering) are used to create matches with the appropriate Library Research Guides. While multiple year statistics are not yet available, advertising, linking and embedding appear to be worthwhile. From October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013, UOIT Library engineering research guides were viewed 6,112 times. While the virtual world is definitely the preferred communication mode for many faculty and students, in person sessions are still offered and very valuable. For example, the UOIT Energy Systems and Engineering librarian initially addresses large groups of first year students to acquaint them with library resources and services. Then in their fourth year, students have another large library session tailored at a much more advanced level to assist them with their capstone projects. In between, there are smaller classes and one on one student-librarian appointments. General Library Information: While the paragraphs above highlight the UOIT Library s primary resources for Mechatronics, there are also library materials and services that are important to all undergraduate students. The UOIT Library system is comprised of four locations North Oshawa; Education; Social Sciences; and Whitby Durham College Apprenticeship and Trades. While each library site provides individual and group study spaces; print and media collections targeted to the local audience; in person reference and discipline specific classes; reserves; intercampus and interlibrary loans; and photocopiers and printers, for the purposes of this report, only a detailed facility description of the Library s North location is provided. It is the Library most likely to be used by Mechatronics students and professors as it houses their required physical resources; it is directly to the east of the OPG Engineering building and to the north west of the Energy Research Centre. This Library boasts the following attributes: American Library Association (ALA) award winning building opened in ,500 square feet 550 seats 10 Group study rooms 2 Library orientation classrooms Reading room with fireplace (2 nd floor) Special collections area Silent study zones (3 rd and 4 th floors) Student lockers Special needs adaptive technology area 160 Public computers wired and wireless

46 Photocopiers and printers Over 110,000 print books are provided collectively by the UOIT Library system. While faculty, staff and students are more than welcome to visit any UOIT library location and personally check out materials, they can also take advantage of intercampus loan services free of charge. UOIT s association with Durham College is only mentioned in this document within the context of lending because at Whitby, there is a small library that has a largely technological focus. A UOIT engineering student or faculty could sign out materials in person from Whitby or he/she could have them delivered to the North location via free intercampus loan. Likewise, interlibrary loan is free to the UOIT community. While the Library provides an immediately accessible high quality collection both in print and electronically, it is realized that not everything can or should be held by a single institution. Patrons are directed to an online request form available on the library s web site. Borrowing and lending occur through RACER (rapid access to collections by electronic requesting) a VDX (Virtual Document Exchange) interlibrary loan system implemented throughout OCUL (Ontario Council of University Libraries). Searches are primarily performed throughout Ontario universities, but items are obtained from other Canadian universities, CISTI (Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information) and international institutions too. Faculty and students from UOIT may visit most other Canadian university libraries and borrow books (Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement) directly upon presentation of their UOIT photo identification card. Materials may be returned directly to the lending library or may be left at the UOIT Library where they will be returned to the appropriate lending library. In this electronic age, most individuals are apt to visit a library virtually before they set foot in the building. The UOIT Library web site is therefore designed to be a resource location tool, a teaching venue and a comprehensive overview of library services, as well as providing immediate full text access to 735,000 e-books (260,000 purchased and 475,000 open content alliance) and 46,000 e-journals with indexing and abstracting for 74,400 titles. For example, there is a Research Help section that provides guidance on search strategies, evaluating and analyzing information sources, citing materials, copyright compliance, and other points to consider in writing a quality paper. Patrons can ask librarians for further assistance through and/or virtual reference. Forms and phone numbers are also available for making individual or small group appointments. As mentioned previously, librarian prepared research guides tailored to a discipline are available on line too. Similarly, there are service sections that outline topics such as borrowing rights and responsibilities, reserve and interlibrary loan processes, and library computer and printer usage. The website also collates information by audience type (i.e. Faculty, Staff, Undergraduates, Graduates) and provides library building descriptions (e.g. addresses, hours, seating and study spaces) and an outline of general operating principles and procedures (e.g. gifts and donations). Also as indicated above, despite the predominance of the virtual world, the Library still invests and encourages on site person to person interaction. Course specific classes geared to an audience s assignments or projects are given rather than general library sessions. Subject librarians invite small group and one on one follow up or clarification meetings. The North location has increased its regular operating hours since opening in 2004 (i.e. 77 hours per week to 94 hours per week) and adds extra hours two weeks prior to and during exams. In past years, a number of complaints have been received about insufficient seating. In response, a study den was opened on the lower level in September 2010 and this Fall, the 4 th floor formerly reserved for graduate students who have now found space in their respective Faculty buildings has been opened up as a silent study area for all. The Education Faculty and Social Science and Humanities Faculty have moved to a separate campus in Downtown Oshawa so efforts are being made to redistribute the student population. While there has been an increase in Library staffing (i.e. all locations), there is still a need to hire additional people with more extensive subject expertise. A recent survey revealed that library patrons want more print books, more online resources, more instructional classes and one on one reference sessions, more direction on the website basically more of everything. Students, faculty and staff definitely value and appreciate the UOIT Library!
