About
S. Krishnan is a pioneering educator and researcher in mechatronics and engineering pedagogy, with a particular focus on integrating hands-on, competition-based learning into undergraduate curricula. Their most-cited work, “A competition-based approach for undergraduate mechatronics education using the Arduino platform” (2014, 59 citations), addresses the challenge of teaching the interdisciplinary field of mechatronics—which blends mechanics, computer science, electronics, and control systems—by leveraging the accessible Arduino platform. This paper has become a foundational resource for engineering educators seeking to engage students through project-driven, competitive frameworks that foster practical problem-solving skills. Krishnan’s contributions have significantly advanced pedagogical methods in engineering, demonstrating how low-cost, open-source tools can democratize access to complex technical education. Their work has been widely cited by instructors and researchers aiming to modernize STEM curricula, reflecting a lasting impact on how mechatronics is taught globally. By championing experiential learning, Krishnan has helped shape a generation of engineers who are better prepared for real-world challenges.
