produce computer-based models at theexpense of physical models. This fact is behind a general trend of teaching applied engineeringsubjects with minimal students’ involvement with physical set-ups including: laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the students. Building a model, testing a model, generating physical datafrom the model, and analyzing said data, help students

It was intended to serve asan affordable alternative to the costlier uniaxial tensile testing machines available commercially.The goal of the device was intended to be both, laboratory based teaching activity as well asresearch related requirements. The intended users were expected to be high school students, two-year junior college students, four-year undergraduate university students and graduate studentstaking mechanics or material courses.

toexpose students “to the language of the mechanical things that surround us” [3] (pg. 2). Due tothe success of this work, product dissection in engineering education has become moreprominent in introductory engineering courses [7]. While prior work has also brought awareness to the potential learning benefits of physicalproduct dissection, there are still many obstacles that keep dissection from being adopted on awider scale [8, 9]. For instance, there is a wide range of the products dissected in these courses;early adopters dissected anything from a see-and-say children’s toy to a four stroke engine [4, 5,10]. In addition, the material cost and the space and safety requirements of the laboratories alsohinder the large scale deployment

This is challenging for the students,especially in a group environment such as senior capstone design. Likewise, studies have shownthat the international students have a difficult time succeeding in courses requiring the students togive formal presentations, which is true in senior capstone design.9,36,54 During the qualitative datacollection, international students often cited the nontraditional mode of course presentationsinstead of traditional course learning modes (sitting in class or laboratory). Further, internationalstudents expressed concern that their limited English-speaking ability may adversely affect theirteam.It was also found that the student’s intrinsic value decreased overall from the beginning of the fallsemester of senior
