Features and Learning Difficulties of the Course “Mechanisms”The course “Mechanisms”, or used as another name “Kinematics” in curriculum of mechanicalengineering, belongs to a typical traditional course in comparison with the other courses onnewly developed technologies, such as “Biomechanics”, “MEMS” or “Nano-technologies” andso on. In general, the course “Mechanisms” is one of the “machine design” or “mechanism andmachine theory” series courses4. It and the other courses together, such as “Mechanics” and“Material Science”, provide the students fundamental knowledge and analysis abilities for“machine design” as Fig. 1 illustrated.The contents

First,increased sensory feedback can improve retention of engineering concepts [1]. Second, hapticfeedback can improve intuitive understanding of complex systems and environments [2]. Third,tactile information creates learning opportunities for students who are visually impaired [3].Fourth, involving students in coding of the haptic system may improve
