There are different types of motors tochoose from and knowing the characteristics of each motor type will aide students in sizing theappropriate motor that meet their desired performance requirements, helping students learn howto cooperate in interdisciplinary situations [4]. Allowing students to practice engineeringdecision-making will allow them to digest and absorb scientific knowledge through observationand experimentation [1-3]. For some universities, lab equipment used to showcase experiments,can be expensive and are unable to leave the laboratory, which can be a huge constraint [1], [3].For instance, the Mechatronics Actuators board developed by Quanser features several

of affective learning is an obviousconclusion, rather than the lack of psychomotor learning. When an engineering student gave amathematical explanation on the question of “Explain the non-zero intercept of the shown labgraph” in a lecture-test, he/she was not using critical thinking. For example, in the 9.8 m/s/sverification lab using an object sliding down a tilted air-track, a graph containing acceleration onthe y-axis and sine of the titled angle on the x-axis is expected to have a zero intercept. Astatement like “The explanation of having an uneven table shows critical thinking skill when atechnician presents such data to an engineer” usually would be sufficient to re-activate theaffective learning in an engineering student, not that we

Our assertion is that if we can improve these factors for all of our students, thenwe can improve the percentage that chooses to pursue a STEM-based major. We further seek to learn whetherseating assignments can affect a student’s interest and perceived level of difficulty within the course. REFERENCES[1] M. T. Carlisle, T. Wilson, J. Humphries and S.

They define ideological convergence as the “the narrowing ofthe field of ideological stances that are salient and seen as useful as individuals participating in ajoint activity”, and ideological divergence as the corresponding expanding of ideological stances.They note ideological convergence is not
