Abstract (300 words maximum)
Students struggle to comprehend challenging concepts introduced in the engineering courses since the theory is highly mathematical such as mechanical vibrations offered in the mechanical engineering program. Also, unlike other engineering courses, students have to wait for a semester to take the associated lab resulting in loosing students' interest. To help students visualize the concepts taught in the mechanical vibrations, we designed a vibratory mechanism to demonstrate fundamentals.
