The feedback based on student input in the games allows the students to learnand apply new concepts simultaneously. The impact of the games and the student involvementin the game design process have been positive as evidenced by performance on exams andpositive feedback on surveys.

The overall intention of this work is to help facilitate upper division level laboratoryprojects in dynamics. Such projects are intended to provide students with the opportunity to i)apply and reinforce their knowledge of dynamics, ii) learn and practice modern experimentalmethods used to make and assess motion measurements, and iii) if possible, compare theoreticaland measured results.The instrumentation involves the use of two inexpensive sensors – a dual axis accelerometer anda rate gyro – and a data acquisition system (such as LABVIEW).

The team-based projectprogresses over approximately ten weeks in an elementary strength of materials course. Thisprovides a significant design experience for engineering students that helps bridge the gapbetween the first-year engineering design course and the capstone design project that engineeringstudents typically do in their senior year.
