Ourgroup focuses on a class of millimeter-size mechanisms larger than micro-electro-mechanicalsystems (MEMS) but much smaller than ordinary mechanisms seen in our daily life. Seeing thetechnological trend of electro-mechanical products getting more and more minitualized, webelieve this class size of mechanisms has a wide range of future applications in manufacturing,bioengineering, the military, and many other areas. One of the difficult challenges to buildingthis class size of mechanism is a lack of actuator technologies for miniaturization. Today'scommonly used actuators for industrial automation, such as

engineering courses could provide an authentic laboratory experience that helpsimprove students’ conceptual understanding of engineering mechanics concepts. Moreover,physical manipulatives are easy to implement, easy to duplicate and distribute,13 and can beextended to include different engineering subjects.Other studies have investigated the use of physical manipulatives in a variety of STEM areas. Theuse of hands-on (physical) manipulatives has helped engineering students in modeling andengineering problem solving.7 For instance, Coller indicated that the manipulatives helpedstudents increase their understanding of engineering concepts when they used manipulatives andwere able to see and feel reactions created by the manipulative.7 Another study

ESCC consists of six core coursestaught by teams of ME faculty with clearly set educational objectives and managed by acoordinator and trained teaching assistants. Though essay type examination questions candemonstrate positive learning outcomes, multiple choice questions are better to pinpoint areas ofconceptual difficulties. After designing and adopting ESCC in 2006, faculty agreed that carefullydesigned multiple choice questions should form an integral part for all examinations in coreclasses.

To determine if the implementation of these initiatives is having a positiveimpact on engineering students’ performance in a first-year programming course, a correlationalresearch study at a mid-size Michigan public university was completed over a three-semesterperiod beginning in 2022. Students were surveyed regarding their prior experience with computerscience at the beginning of the semester, and student scores on the first laboratory practicum andfinal course grade were recorded. The data demonstrates that nearly sixty percent of students hadno prior experience with computer science and withdrew from the course at nearly double the rateas students with AP experience. For those that did complete the course, a Welch’s t
