The curriculum was designed and implemented in a real mechatronics class for a semester in a university, and an evaluation study collected students' opinions on the effectiveness of this electronic pet robotic project-based mechatronics curriculum. The results of the study showed that the project increased student motivation, improved student performance, and gave students hands-on experience to develop skills in mechatronics system design. Students' responses to the evaluation study also demonstrated their positive attitudes towards the electronic-pet project-based learning, and the students also considered their teamwork to be successful.enArtifact | Electronic pet robot | Engineering education | Interdisciplinary learning | Mechatronics | Project-based learningjournal articlehttps://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/848938768332-s2.0-84893876833https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/84893876833
