About

Nebojsa Jaksic is an engineering educator and researcher whose work centers on mechatronics education, robotics, and the innovative integration of hands-on laboratory experiences into undergraduate and graduate engineering curricula. Based at Colorado State University–Pueblo, Jaksic has made meaningful contributions to how students engage with complex engineering systems, designing accessible yet rigorous experiments that bridge theory and practice. His widely recognized work on LEGO Mindstorms NXT-based mechatronics experiments has drawn 8 citations, demonstrating the value of using approachable robotics platforms to teach foundational engineering concepts. He has further advanced multidisciplinary learning by developing laboratory courses that connect robotics design and programming across fields including computer information systems. Jaksic has also explored emerging technologies in engineering education, notably applying virtual reality through EON Reality to simulate articulated robotic work cells, expanding experiential learning opportunities beyond physical lab constraints. His efforts to build learning communities for first-year engineering students reflect a holistic commitment to student retention and engagement. More recently, his work on vertical lab integration with myCobot robotic arms continues to push curriculum development forward, ensuring students gain progressive, real-world robotics experience throughout their academic journey.
