Various techniques wereused to show the students the application of the course material to common mechanical devicesthey might encounter in their daily experiences and to garner student buy-in to the course. Oneof these techniques included giving extra credit to students that brought in failed/broken parts sothat they could be examined by the class. Another technique that was used was to assignstudents material-related topics to research and then prepare a presentation on their topic to
