Results of this project will be presented at the 2014 ASEE Annual Conference.Final remarksWhen the Mechanics Based Design Laboratory course was first developed in 2012, assessmenttools were not included in the curriculum to provide information on the effectiveness of thecourse. Anecdotal comments from the students and from the teaching assistances (several ofwhom had taken the four-credit course prior to 2012) indicate that the laboratory course isdelivering the hands-on experiences and the machine design instruction that was missing prior toits inception.Reference 1 Nagurka and Anton, “Discovery learning experiments in a new machine design laboratory,” Proceeding from the 2013 ASEE
