The haptic feedback controller and accompanying computerapplication enable students to “feel and see” the forces an AFM tip experiences as it approachesthe surface of a measured sample. This instructional activity has now been implemented in anundergraduate-level class (“Micro/Nano Engineering Laboratory”) at the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology in which mechanical engineering students obtain their first experience withnanotechnology. Students were split into two groups for instruction and assessment; students inGroup 1 (N=7) received traditional lab instruction and students in Group 2 (N=4) received thesame activity with haptic and visualization as a medium for relaying information.Post
