Abstract
Theory of machine is an important course of mechanical engineering, which develops students’ ability of system and concept design. The concept design of mechanical motion is the most crucial part in mechanical engineering design that plays a vital role in developing students’ creative ability. In the teaching process of this course, kinematic kit and modern design tools are used to guide the students to realize the concepts and it is believed that this lays a solid foundation for understanding of design of machine elements course. Model building has been done using elements available in kinematic kit. At the end of the course, analysis was done to measure the effectiveness of students learning and it is found that physical construction of a model helped students to generate ideas and resulted in better visualization and understanding of mechanisms. This pedagogical practice also helped students to understand the concept of motion change by introducing different kinematic elements.
