Two lab modules (Piezoelectric Sensorsand Actuators, and Photostrictive Actuators) have been developed to stimulate students’ interestsas well as strengthen their foundation in smart materials and structures technology. The labmodules, which have been used to incorporate active learning into engineering and technologyprograms, have given students a deeper, more focused experience with smart materials andstructures. Being able to see, touch and interact with entities that demonstrate complex behavioris exciting and appealing for students. A total of 20 students enrolled in the lab modules

Consequently, differentapproaches for designing technology are needed in order to support users in achievinglearning requirements. To be well designed, these software environments should enablestudents to learn by doing, receive immediate feedback, continually refine understanding,and create new knowledge structures6. This role for educational technology extendsbeyond typical user needs, but must also aid in the learning process through informationacquisition, processing, and knowledge expression.
