Course A was a twocredit course designed specifically for students in disciplines other than mechanical engineeringwhich is often taken as an optional technical elective in their curriculum. The course consisted ofstudents from sophomore to senior level and was about 33% female and 67% male. The secondcourse, which will be referred to as Course B, was a class in undergraduate thermodynamics andheat transfer with an enrollment of 127. Course B, like course A, was also of a

An electric current produces a magnetic field whichexerts a force on the armature causing a net torque. An understanding of a motor's physicaldesign, dynamic behavior, control architecture, system integration, and performance (e.g., torqueversus speed) is a key goal. Although motors may have been previously discussed in othercourses, the "hands on" servo-motor experiment allows students to explore a commercial gradecontroller operated with National Instruments hardware and LabView software.
