Finally,we elaborate the implementation of the device in a laboratory course on Colloids, Polymers andSurfaces that is being offered at the Chemical Engineering Department at Carnegie MellonUniversity.IntroductionWhen selecting materials for engineering applications, considerations of ‘mechanical properties’typically play an important role. Teaching of the ‘Mechanical Properties of Materials’ is thus atopic that is of fundamental importance to all engineering disciplines. The discussion typicallystarts with the consideration of the materials

size of buttons or ads on ascreen has been thoroughly studied and optimized – in many cases to increase revenues [2]. Ingeneral, big data comes from interactivity, i.e., either a person clicking or scrolling on a webpageor sensors in either a home or chemical plant. In the same vein, combining interactivity withtextbooks has begun to create big data in the engineering classroom.Student-centered teaching techniques are commonly called active learning [3-8]. This type ofpedagogy focuses on students learning by doing in many cases. Despite the large body of evidencesupporting these best practices of teaching, adoption is not the norm. While not adopting the newstandard techniques in laboratory research leaves faculty behind, the same expectation

To address this, miniaturized hands-on modules have been developed to compelstudent engagement in sophomore and junior level engineering classes, specifically within theheat transfer and fluid mechanics classroom context. These highly visual low-cost desktoplearning modules (LC-DLMs) have been shown to improve student understanding compared topassive lectures, especially at higher Bloom’s levels such as evaluation and creation [4-5].Even with significant data to support the fact that active learning leads to more cognitive gainscompared to traditional lecture-based teaching, there are still perceived
