The assessment analystfor the project (i.e., the first author) and an upper-level undergraduate student performed acontent analysis of the focus group data.

-Simon bet about thecost of materials [5]. The Bet, [6] is a book that details a famous bet between Paul Ehrlich,Biologist and Environmentalist and Julian Simon, Economist. Simon won the bet over thedecade 1980-1990. The lesson for students is that inflation adjusted prices of natural resourceshave a negative, not a positive trend, over sufficiently long periods of time. It is exactly this kindof insight, and arguments about the mechanisms that might give rise to it, that could be useful forengineering students in their careers. If they work as project planners and managers, it isvaluable to understand these larger trends and what they might mean for product development.

First, it means that all graduating physics students know sufficientrudimentary programming to model experiments on computers. Second, by exposing physicsstudents to programming, the course has the potential to spark their interest in computationalphysics. Physics students constitute a significant portion of the enrollment in the introduction tocomputer science course, and the course is being partially adapted to this audience.

Motorselection and mechanical design is a critical part of a motion control system, and mostmanufacturers provide a wealth of data and assistance in this process.The motion sensor is a device that captures actual movement and closes the feedback loop to themotion controller. A motion sensor is not always required for such as with stepper motors, but isessential for servo motor control. For this project, a widely used motion sensor called aquadrature encoder was used. It senses the shaft position of the motor and feeds the result to themotion controller. Other feedback devices include potentiometers for analog position
