While this class is usually taught in a lecture format, the inclusion of ahands-on activity aimed to accomplish the following goals: • Student learning about principles of flexure and shear through hands-on exercises • Engage students in course material by giving the first-hand experiences with concrete construction • Structure task to encourage competition between small groups • Prompt students to consider multiple solutions to a given problem • Involve other learning settings to give students a more well-rounded

All student participants had no prior experience withArduino, but with the help from the faculty mentor, they were able to learn it quickly andcomplete the project within 4 weeks. Although each student was primarily responsible for twogames, the project was a true multidisciplinary collaboration: the computer science student ledthe efforts of setting up GitHub for software programming and source management whereas themechatronics engineering students conducted mechanical design for the board.
