apply or relateto the experiences of students at polytechnic institutions, where a hands-on approach is oftenspecifically prescribed as part of the institutional culture. However, we did find one study whichaddressed the use of a flipped classroom from a polytechnic perspective and reported that theflipped classroom provided more time for hands-on experiences, but that this increased time didnot lead to a more positive student experience or significantly improved performance [20].Our institution carries a “polytechnic” designation. The institution’s interpretation of thatdesignation has been to promote a “hands-on, minds-on” style of pedagogy. Specifically, thisstyle emphasizes career-focused or hands-on experiential learning and a laboratory

Designed at Purdue University in 2009 [7]Another unique interactive tool was built to teach pneumatics at Purdue University, shown inFigure 3. This educational tool required students to maneuver an electromagnet across three axesto pick up metal shapes and move them to complete a puzzle. In conjunction with other fluidpower tools, this allowed students to experience how pneumatic systems react compared tohydraulic systems, along with the advantages and disadvantages of pneumatic power. This toolwas used to educate students in the design of fluid power, electrical, and mechanical systems.The first group of students that benefited from the project are those who designed, built, andconstructed the demonstrator, the second group were the students who

Using the tablet PC, each student firstsimulated a circuit using PSPICE and Mentor Graphics, further analyzed the simulated circuit usingMicrosoft Excel to extract device and circuit parameters, and implemented the circuit in thebreadboard. Then circuit was tested and displayed, and gave students, instantaneously, the feel andsound of the circuit they designed.At the end of the semester, we conducted a class survey on the students' grade changes comparedwith the previous, traditional class, and students' attitude toward the mobile studio class, which wehoped told about the

In a typicalcircuit laboratory, the focus is on discrete passive components: resistors, inductors, andcapacitors. These components do not convert any energy into a form that can be detected bythe human senses. The function of the circuit can only be probed with the instrumentation. Inthis study, we explore the effect of incorporating a transducer (a loudspeaker) as a circuitcomponent. The control group of students construct a high-pass filter with a discrete resistorand capacitor. The experiment group uses a loudspeaker instead of a resistor.

It was envisaged that the practical problem solving natureof the tasks involved, coupled with industry oriented experiential learning would lend itself toincreased student engagement and achievement. However, the remit quickly moved beyond thatof capstone engineering design, as the UAVs proved to be a popular motivational tool.The project was initially targeted at master’s level students to explore what was realisticallyachievable.
