.3 The reasons for this difficulty may vary, and are not extensively studied,but they may be in part due to the need to integrate students’ knowledge of differential equationswith the engineering material that is presented. This is extremely important, however, and is infact part of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) objectives forengineering programs (A. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science andengineering, as well as K. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering toolsnecessary for engineering practice).4The development of the lab component of the course is subject to evaluation and improvement;evaluation of the lab is carried out through evaluation of students’ performance

This paper will demonstrate that K’nex toys can be an inexpensive yetvery effective classroom technology for creating physical models and demonstrations in even themost technical engineering courses.IntroductionK’nex toys consist of various plastic rods and connectors cleverly-sized to allow the creation of avariety of truss-like structures. While the K’nex Corporation focuses on the K-12 market, thereare a myriad of engineering applications that have been demonstrated and published at theuniversity level.1,2,3 Many of these occur at the lower division level in freshman experiencecourses or introductory statics
