Figure 6 presents an illustration of a planarfour-bar mechanism passing through five positions without any assembly mode or order defect.Nonetheless, this is often a challenging problem to solve.5 Classroom UsageAs of April 2023, MotionGen Pro is being used by 6,210 registered users world-wide (no cost)across 145 countries in in colleges and universities, high-schools, which teach the author’s Fresh-man Design Innovation class through Stony Brook University’s Accelerated College Education(ACE) program, and in informal STEM learning environments, such as summer and after-schoolrobotics programs.

the end of April, students who are about to graduate are emailed a request tocomplete a Senior Survey. At the end of the survey are open-response questions, one of whichasks, “Of the engineering professors at George Fox University, which several were the mostinfluential in your professional development and why?” In light of what a graduate shared at apanel session about the value of the course, not for its content but for its approach to problemsolving (discussed above), responses to the professional development prompt were reviewed.Students typically take HT in their third year, so most students complete the Senior Survey oneyear after taking the course.The following are sample responses, edited for brevity, from 2010–2014: ● 2011 Grad
