To assure that problem-solving skills are mastered, problem solving has become a coreelement in engineering curricula. In U.S. engineering education, ABET (Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology) criteria for accrediting instructional programs treat problemsolving as one of the critical learning outcomes to be achieved throughout curricula and isdirectly addressed in ABET Outcome 3.1 an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complexengineering problems by applying

though the objects discussed in the course (e.g. gear or linkage Mechanisms) are very concrete. Especially the symbolic representation of mechanisms is meaningless to most students if they cannot establish the mapping relation between abstract symbols and realistic mechanisms in mind.(2) There is no close relation between the individual course contents. It is not necessary, for example, the chapter “Cam Mechanisms” and “Gear Mechanisms” in a given order to teach. As a result, the students are not capable of integrating the diverse knowledge from the course to solve practical kinematic problems later by their project or capstone design.(3) Only by the chapter “Cam Mechanisms”, the students can acquire design ability
