technology? Gamification, also known as serious game, is theuse of game thinking and game mechanisms such as points, levels, challenges, leaderboard,badges, or even rewards in a non-game context to engage learners in solving problems ([8]–[12]). It is believed that gamification with careful thought and planning can be an ultimate wayto motivate student success ([13], [14]). Gamification can include the application of animation,simulation, and game elements and represents a shift from learning by listening to learning bydoing. It also represents a shift from recalling information to finding and using it. From passivelearning to positive learning, by including an instructional context, gamification can enhance thelearning process. Since fall 2018

Haptics, the research and application on thesense of touch and force feedback, provides a novel human computer interface for students tointeract with virtual dynamics world to potentially gain a better understanding of the dynamicsconcepts. Under this assumption, this research started with the identification of key dynamicsconcepts from engineering teaching experience and converted these concepts into interestinginteractive animation with both graphics and haptics learning channels. The developed learningtools have been tested with 99 undergraduate engineering students in Spring 2008, Summer 2008and Spring 2009 semesters.

The greatest weakness of this technique seemed the lackof hands-on experience which I gave my students, and their subsequent lack of physical intuition.Enhancing their physical intuition drove the first curricular revision using in-classdemonstrations and simulations of key physical and biological processes. This technique did notwork as well as expected, probably because it continued to rely on a source - sink model oflearning, with myself as the fount of knowledge. Therefore, increasing student involvement andfostering student maturity drove the second revision, consisting of the inclusion of two teamdesign experiences, and the addition of more student-led problem solving during

I obtained my Biomedical Engineering PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My work focused on computational biomechanics. More specifically, developing musculoskeletal models of the body to simulate movement and see how surgery and soft tissue injury affects movement. During my graduate work, I was also a teaching assistant for Introduction to Biomechanics where I developed a love for teaching. I then did postdoctoral research at the University of Kentucky where I experimentally measured movements (e.g running form), which provides

Through video-captured simulations and in-classdemonstrations, it is hoped that students will link electromagnetics concepts to modern wirelesssystems and thereby retain these concepts in long-term memory.A difficult topic in this course is graphical methods involving Smith Charts.

This is a useful feature “because it allows engineers to analyze andcompare the affordances of product concepts (especially at the system level) as well as ofexisting products for reverse engineering.”22Although the term “affordance” has its roots in Gestalt psychology23, perceptual psychologistJames Gibson defined it in the modern era as “what it [the environment] offers the animal [user],what it provides or furnishes, either for good or ill…I mean by it something that refers to both

With increasing power of computers, today’s engineersand designers are able to create 3-D solid models of their designs on their desktop PCs. Thesemodels are often termed virtual prototypes because once the models are created, analysis toolscan be used to simulate the operation of the device being designed. The models can also be usedto create and manufacturing data.Solid Modeling derives its name from the fact that a solid modeler creates an object called asolid, or body, representing a part. A solid is a model that clearly identifies any point in space aseither inside or outside of the model. This sounds simplistic, but has

Because of the difficulty in performing three dimensional analysis, projects focused onkinematic analysis of linkages and numerical solutions of differential equations. This alsoexposed students to numerical analysis tools that are not present elsewhere in the curriculum.Recently, we have decided to include a full three-dimensional simulation as a final class project.During the final week of the course, we cover gyroscopic motion. This is a very difficultconcept for most students to grasp, and simple instructor demonstrations don’t allow the studentsto actually feel the gyroscopic moments.
