Assigns two group projects for the term, these are your only grades. If you ask him to check your patents before you submit, he will approve them and then tell you he changed his mind and give you points off. Easy A but annoying class.

Would never take this man for any class ever again. He can be very lazy about the structure of the class and can be rude to students when they do anything wrong. I thought the class would be fun but it was stressful only because he was the professor. If I could rate a 0 I would.

Class is self taught, but he is an awful teacher. He plays computer games the whole time and doesn't follow the course guidelines of the project when making the final project course. Would never take him for a professor again

If you have a decent group and don't get an A in this class, you should not be an engineer. Easy class at KU

Best for MECH311 at KU. Helps out students when needed. Has solid machining knowledge. Gives you the stick, but you learn from it. Ask questions. When not lecturing, plays crossword puzzles on his computer. Funny yet serious towards the end of term. Machining, basic engineering skills are honed. Find a good group or you're screwed. Time sensitive.

The class overall is an easy A as it's a project class. Only thing is that at times it seems D. Eddy doesn't know what he is talking about or is that helpful. Sometimes he seems a bit lost but the guys pretty chill and willing to help. The competition at the end of term is pretty fun. My advice, better know how to do CAD.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER. He speaks clear English. He teaches and instructs on the information the class requires you to know. You listen, you design & build, you learn, you finish your project, you get a good grade. What else are we here for?

Mechatronics is an easy 100 but Eddy can make it a decent amount of work. Helpful but demanding when it comes to technical writing. Not a bad professor overall.

Was helpful for specific questions about the projects. Make sure you test assumptions (value of mu, torque output of motor, if he gave you the correct springs, etc.). Makes deadlines meet-able. Just try and you'll do 95 easy.

didnt do much since the class was pretty much all on our own, but clearly stated the goals and requirements of the class and was there to answer any questions we had.

Well as some know, Mechatronics is a self-guided class. But Eddy was approachable for questions as well as a good conversation about Rifles and outdoors. The class is practically impossible to fail. Nice guy, easy class.

Hard to rate a professor based on mechatronics because it is a very independent self guided class, but I thought Eddy was ok. He was able to answer any questions we had, and was approachable.

Admits not being the best teacher for mechatronics, but its an easy course, so isn't too big a negative. I found him very approachable if I had questions. If your pretty good at doing things on your own (the basis for this class) go ahead and take him.

Comment:
Very boring and not an expert in his field. Questioned his own actions with NX3 program, and told students to figure things out on their own with little or no help from him. Stay away from this professor if you can. If you can't, the course is very easy, but you'll be taking naps in class.

Doesn't understand the experiments. Poor explanation of concepts. His lack of undertstanding makes the lab take longer than it should. Easy lab hand-ins and easy grader.
