N1 - Funding Information:
TKB is supported by the British Society of Haematology and NHS Blood and Transplant. KF and CVG are supported by the Fund for Scientific Research-Flanders (FWO Vlaanderen, Belgium; G.0B17.13N) and by the Research Council of the University of Leuven (BOF KU Leuven‚ Belgium; OT/14/098). C.V.G is holder of the Bayer and Norbert Heimburger (CSL Behring) Chairs. The structured illumination microscope was acquired through a CLME grant from Minister Lieten to the VIB BioImaging Core, Leuven. J.H is supported by the Fund for Scientific Research-Flanders (FWO Vlaanderen, Belgium) grant no.1S00816N. AK and BJ are funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre (RG64245). MF is supported by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Cambridge Centre of Excellence (RE/13/6/30180). The Ouwehand laboratory receives support from the BHF, Bristol-Myers Squibb, European Commission, MRC, NHS Blood and Transplant, Rosetrees Trust, the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre based at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and the University of Cambridge.
Funding Information:
The NIHR BioResource – Rare Disease Study is a multicenter whole-genome sequencing (WGS) study of approximately 13,000 patients. The genotype and phenotype data are being incorporated in the 100,000 Genomes Project. This study makes use of data generated by the NIHR BioResource and a full list of investigators who contributed to the generation of the data is available from https://bioresource.nihr.ac.uk/rare-diseases/consortia-lists/. Funding for the project was provided by the NIHR (grant number RG65966). The NIHR BioResource projects were approved by Research Ethics Committees in the UK and appropriate national ethics authorities in non-UK enrollment centers. The authors are also grateful to all the research participants who donated their samples for this study and to Professor Andrew Mumford (University of Bristol, UK), Professor Michael Laffan (Imperial College London, UK), Dr Lining Guo (Metabolon Inc., Durham, NC, USA), and Dr Sergio Rodriguez-Cuenca and Professor Antonio Vidal-Puig from the University of Cambridge (UK) for their input. The Tg(cd41:EGF)11 line was a gift from Professor Leonard Zon (Hematology Division, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA).

N2 - Technology advancement and human needs have led to integration among many engineering disciplines. Mechatronics engineering is an integrated discipline that focuses on the design and analysis of complete engineering systems. These systems include mechanical, electrical, computer and control subsystems. In this paper, the importance of teaching mechatronic system design to undergraduate engineering students is emphasised. The paper offers the collaborative experience in preparing and delivering the course material for two universities in Jordan. A detailed description of such a course is provided and a case study is presented. The case study used is a final year project, where students applied a six-stage design procedure that is described in the paper.
