The students assembled critical functionprototypes of their fourbar designs as part of a lab exercise, and then manufactured fourbars on awaterjet cutter for their competition robots. Lastly, two of 28 Excel® problems were related tofourbars: one in which the students analyzed S + L ? P + Q to determine the Grashof condition,and one that applied Excel®’s Solver function to solve for the output angle if the input angle andlink lengths are known.In the old ME 1000, students saw fourbars in one lecture (including synthesis examples), wererequired to use fourbars in the design

Managing Psychological Inertia in the Early Stages of DesignResearchers have observed that the effects of psychological inertia can be reduced throughthe awareness of one’s cognitive boundaries and the adoption of techniques that expand one’scognitive level and/or simulate different cognitive styles3, 4, 5, 14, 18.
