techniques to study these materialsare pioneer in the field of materials science and engineering and most of them are still in theresearch stage. For most students, realizing these advanced materials and technology is their firsttime. Therefore, it is a challenge to for students to understand the course material in depth. Inorder to overcome this challenge, experimental studies are introduced as part of the coursethrough an active learning platform. Overall, four labs are designed and conducted to investigatethe properties and performance of piezoelectric materials and shape memory alloys. Theoutcome of the experimental studies is evaluated by written reports consisting of learningobjectives, experimental methods, results, and discussions. These lab
