apart a metal piece with bare hands.Some education technology providers such as PASCO, Inc., provides a hand-cranked tensiletesting machine that would give students some “feel” of the strength of different materials4. Butthe equipment is costly ($2,900 for the ME-8230 model or $4,900 for the ME-8244 model)considering what limited tests could be performed by it.Abramowitz and Elliott12 introduced a lab for junior mechanical engineering students applyingtorque wrenches to the testing of torsional strength of metal fasteners. They emphasizedstatistical data analysis and used a specialized torsional testing fixture manufactured byGreenslade and Company13. This fixture has split collets of different sizes with internal threadson them. It can be used

ofengineering in the campus community.Many educational institutions, both formal and informal, have implemented some type of robotickits to support science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. The greatpopularity of these kits (like LEGO NXT/EV3) stems from their affordability and flexibility.However, many students feel overexposed to these products since they used them in high schoolsor even middle schools. Also, NXT Mindstorms kits are often incapable of performing morecomplex robotic tasks and they don’t look like humans. Thus, in our institution, students’exposure to humanoid robots is investigated as a means to increase student retention throughextrinsic motivation. In addition, since the university does not offer a general
