Sometimes you have to take things apart – separate out their components, dig into the nuts and bolts and test various hypotheses – to figure out how they work. That’s the premise behind the reverse-engineering class at EPFL, where students deconstruct everyday objects to better understand the mechanisms involved. This kind of hands-on approach is very effective for teaching, as Yves Bellouard – the professor who created the class – is happy to note.
