Abstract
The completely renewed Mechanical Engineering curriculum features nine credits in mechatronics, including two formal courses (Mechatronics I and Mechatronics II) and a Project of Mechatronics course, as well as fifteen credits in system and product design, including a three credit Design Methodology course and a twelve credit Major Design Project extended over the last three terms of the program. These two large components of the program were developed according to the characteristics of each discipline. This paper presents the results up to the present of a multidisciplinary effort to unify the approaches to mechanical engineering design. It presents the enriched version of the Product Development Process (PDP) which has been developed in order to integrate the two approaches. In this respect, specific tools will be introduced in order to join the design process of a mechatronics system with the design of more traditional mechanical engineering products. This will be illustrated using a pill counter designed by the students as an example. In addition to the Mechatronics and the System and Product Design courses, the scope of this Educational Improvement Project extends to a Computer Programming course and a Project Management course. This paper shows the extent of the changes which are to be brought to all these courses.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
