Zusammenfassung:When he found, for example, that few textbooks adequately covered linear motors, used increasingly by high-tech firms, he went on eBay to find a linear stepper motor, an ironless motor, and a drive/controller for less than $850 and developed a combination lecture and lab module for a third-year mechatronics course. [...]when his students needed sophisticated robotics software and sensors for a senior-level design course, he built an experiment around "a remarkable and inexpensive set of sensors" found in Kinect for Xbox 360, a robotics starter kit, and a miniature PC.
