**1.1 Problem statement**

Technology has advanced a great deal since the beginning of the 20th century. The workplace and especially the industry have had evident and visible use of modern technology in handling operations and conducting other works. Today, the main work a human being does is manufacturing or designing and programming a device to perform certain tasks.

From another point, if students have to make projects in the machine shop, they cannot make very complicated parts. With Lego bricks, they can prototype far more quickly, and the complexity of the part correspondingly increases. The same is true with the software such as LabVIEW that allows rapid software prototyping and students can develop much more complicated software without many of the difficulties associated with a syntactical language. By letting students create the experiment themselves, rather than giving them a canned experiment, one can get them more excited about and more involved in what they are learning.
