within thecurriculum 4 . This paper presents the design and educational merit of a low-cost, portable,multidisciplinary pendulum platform that enables students to conduct experiments remotely. Thissystem aims to address the high-cost, lack of mobility, lack of accessibility and large spaceaccommodations that traditional dynamic systems and controls learning platforms present.The learning outcomes are similar to their traditional high-cost counterparts and include: systemidentification, modeling, simulation, s-domain analysis, frequency-domain analysis, and feedbackcontrol principles. Further setting this low-cost experimental system apart from others is the openarchitecture. The hardware is comprised of common off-the-shelf components and 3D

either a DC motor or Stepper motor to determine torque and/or speed relationships in a weightlifting experiment. This latter experiment introduced auxiliary power requirements and motor controllers. This module was introduced fairly early in the course since most students needed to use some form of motor as a control mechanism in their open-ended project. Inclusion at this point of the course allowed students the chance to develop familiarity with the motors in line with the design schedule. Learning the applications of each motor type helped the student select appropriate motor(s) for their open-ended project.Module 4: Aerosol Concentrations.

It is important tonote that this feature is in addition to the built-in 2-channel function generator and the virtual 2-channel oscilloscope of the AD2. AD2, M2K, and OSMZ all share identical flywire interfaces(the pinout maps are also almost the same except the pins that differ in functionality. Forexample, the AD2’s waveform-2 pin is a clock pin on the OSMZ board as the OSMZ board doesnot provide a second function generator channel). Therefore, the BNC adaptor

While thesestatements may seem obvious, this work provides data that in support of them. Future workinvolves a performance analysis via earned grades and correlating this data with the survey results.The authors also plan to continue gathering data and incorporate additional engagementmechanisms into the online laboratory that students can assess in future surveys.References1.

The data in thespreadsheet included dry bulb temperature and relative humidity of room air and air at thedownstream of the evaporative pad. Students then use these variables to calculate the directsaturation efficiency (𝜀𝑒 ) of the evaporative cooler. The code implemented on the Arduino boardfor measuring and sending data is shown in the appendix (appendix-B). For reference, arecording of the temperature at the downstream of the evaporative pad is given in Figure 3. Thisgraph also shows the time scale associated with the transient cooling in the setup.

Observations are coded in 2-minuteintervals until the class session is over. If the observer makes a mistake, they can note it duringthe next interval, and adjust the data accordingly by hand, after class. Data is automaticallyanalyzed in GORP and can be exported to excel for further analysis. COPUS observations arelimited by the fact that a trained individual must label an in-class interaction/behavior in real-time. Multiple behaviors can occur at the same time and some may be missed. This can createsome issues with missed labeling or mislabeling during active learning class activities.Additionally, data are collected

Teaching ‘Nondestructive Evaluation of Flaws’, an all-around course in NDE, using thetraditional lecture-based methods is challenging because: (1) each NDE method is based on adifferent physical principle; it is difficult for the students to grasp all the different principles andmethods one after the other within the short 15-week timeframe of one semester, and (2) theclass is highly heterogenous; the students have very different backgrounds
