were discussed.The experimental exercises include displacement measurement using infrared and ultrasonicsensors as well as motion detection activities.The learning objectives of this module were to utilize proximity sensors for displacementmeasurements, motion detection, sensitivity measurements, and peripheral interference effects.Data was gathered and subsequent error analyses performed. Module 4Module 4 experiments involve actuation in contrast to the previous modules where sensor inputswere studied. In this module, students conducted experiments with DC, stepper, and servomotors. In the lecture of this module, general characteristics of AC, DC, stepper, and servomotors were introduced. A generic torque vs. rotational speed curve is
