It was chosen as the initial situation fortesting due to the flexible project environment and the heavy emphasis on design.In 2012, ENGG 200 students were asked to create a computer game as one of their multi-weekdesign projects. Students were asked to choose a client market, and then to justify their resultingdesign specifications, decisions, and game mechanics for the target audience. Few restrictionswere built into the project, allowing teams to exercise as much creativity as possible.

Approximately 120 students attend a one-hour lecture in an auditorium. Thefollowing day, students attend a small lab session, usually 26 students, to allow more contactwith each student while s/he practices. There has been concern voiced regarding large lectureswith respect to attendance rates, effectiveness of large lecture instruction, and connectivitybetween the instructor and students15.

. For each half bridge circuit, the students again take measurements ofthree different weights. This process is repeated once more for a full bridge circuit using all fourstrain gauges.The final part of the lab requires the students to choose one of the bridge setups (quarter, half, orfull) to measure an unknown weight. At least four known calibration weights are used to create acalibration curve relating weight and strain as measured by their chosen Wheatstone bridgesetup. They then choose some object that they want to weigh, which can be a textbook, abackpack, or even a fellow classmate. This object is weighed on their ‘scale’ – the instrumentedaluminum beam – and then weighed on a calibrated laboratory scale to get the reference value.This
