With the intent of changing the structure of the discussion section in mind,the question “would hands-on laboratory experiments be of interest to you?” was asked and wasmet with a response of 83.3% for yes.Based on this data, the instructors were hopeful that the addition of the hands-on experimentswould have a compounding effect.

Through these activities,students learned concepts such as: playing with the experimental setup to get a feel for importantfactors and sources of inconsistency; evaluating whether measurement results make sense; whereto start looking for culprits when results do not make sense; and breaking a complex problemdown into simpler problems. Student feedback indicated they liked the workshop topic andwanted to learn more strategies for tackling problems.IntroductionGrad students who excel in the classroom are often ill prepared for the experimental work thatengineering research requires.

Students werethen instructed to video record their joint motions using their laptop cameras. A custom videotracking algorithm specifically designed to track spatial locations was then employed to capturerelative positions of the recorded motions. Laboratory instructions asked the students to performkinematic calculations on the algorithm’s generated positional data to determine joint velocitiesand accelerations, and then perform kinetic analyses to estimate the associated muscle forces.Laboratory requirements were concluded with a reflection prompt to evaluate the

Many of the lab activities are structured around a two week time frame, andlaboratory "hand outs" offer broad guidelines as to what an experiment entails. Students thenspend the first week designing the experiment, constructing the apparatus, organizing a datatable, taking preliminary data, trying alternative approaches, and doing some "sanity checks" tosee if the proposed procedure makes sense. The students' goal for this part of the lab is to writetheir own "cookbook" which documents the procedure to be followed in the second week of theexperiment, when the final

There is a continual need to updateand augment the content of lecture courses to keep pace with this change, but it is in the area ofengineering education and experimental work where major concerns arise. The central problemstill remain the same; providing for students meaningful and relevant practical experiences whilebeing limited by very finite resources in the provision of laboratory hardware and infrastructure.One solution to this problem is to use computer based techniques to interface the students wi ththe physical world, with suitable front-end design to provide sophistication and increasedflexibility.Many academic courses regarding mechatronics have already begun incorporating computer -based educational tools for students use, either
