In engineeringeducation, the benefits of tangible objects have been predominantly studied in subjects likedesign. Studies have shown that engagement with mechanical objects improves students’performance on producing assembly instructions, students are more engaged and in-control oftheir learning helps with transforming their conceptual knowledge into ideas for product design[1]. Engineers are surrounded by physical artifacts throughout their education and work-placeenvironments. Our research project

Follow-up debriefing sessions will also be conductedto further elucidate underlying play aspects that may contribute to developing ethical reasoning.Pre/post tests using the EERI and DIT2 will be carried out on game and non-game student groups(similar to Year 1).

-guided student learning [1],[2]. This is especially true within engineeringand other STEM topics due to the complexity of the material. A large amount of both researchand school curricula generally adopts a one-size-fits-all approach [3],[4]. While easilyimplemented and generally best for all students, a number of students are still left behind whentheir ideal learning approaches deviate largely from the standard. Further, some students can lackmotivation or prior knowledge, negating any benefits that exploration-based learning might havefor them.Another recent trend within engineering education is a focus on problem-based learning (PBL)[5]. This approach engages students in a learning process through the use of one or severalreal-world problems

Qualitative data was also collected throughfocus groups for both groups to gather the students’ impressions of the programs for theexperimental group and general teaching styles for the control group.Due to some issues with the server that runs Mechanix, the students were not able to properly useMechanix during the in-class evaluations. We believe that this caused the results to show thatthere was no change in the homework and concept inventory scores between both groups for thecurrent evaluation. However, the results show that Mechanix is a capable tool for enhancingstudents learning and performance in exams

In practice, it should becareful not to constrain the instructional design based on the technological capability.

There is a growing need for individuals with analytical and applied research skills in theknowledge-based economy. This knowledge-based economy is characterized as having areliance on knowledge, information and high analytical or technical skills (OECD, 2005).
