The authors recognize that thenumber of interviews is extremely limited. This was due to the difficulty in contacting studentswho had already graduated. Nevertheless, some insights were gained into the thought process ofthese students.The students were asked to describe their best lab experience as a mechanical engineeringstudent, and what made it the best. In both cases, the students preferred hands on interaction withreal tools, sensors, and equipment. One student enjoyed a lab in mechanical testing because itwas “hands-on, exciting, and mildly dangerous”. The other student enjoyed a

Of the students reporting, 7 completedtroubleshooting visually; 2 people used the multimeter; no one used the oscilloscope; and onestudent wrote that s/he “tried everything” (Table 1). A key objective of these labs is for studentsto encounter problems building the circuit and have to invoke circuit debugging techniques.
