These two primary factors permit us to try different ways touse time more efficiently and increase student engagement. In this case, we havestudents start with laboratories prior to complete coverage of all the theoreticalbackground and encourage them to find answers from later lectures by first exposingthem to problems associated with experimental results.The hypothesis behind this approach is two-fold: 1) Students, after gettingstraightforward, easy-to-understand, visible results from carefully designed laboratorysessions, will be motivated to learn more; 2) they will become more

This allows for grading to occurdirectly on the VMs as the instructor or teaching assistants are able to run the VM to evaluate itsbehavior. Finally, Xen Worlds can achieve these goals with a relatively modest hardware costand no software cost.The prototype of the Xen Worlds project was introduced in the senior-level course CprE 431X,Basics of Information Security, in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at IowaState University during the Spring 2005 semester, and has been greatly expanded for the nextoffering of the course in Spring 2006.

began consideration of a mechanical properties laboratory in 1992. Thestudy of the mechanical behavior of materials was an important part of many departmentalcurricula; however, departments did not have the resources to finance instructional facilities withfirst-class equipment. Typically, experiments were conducted in facilities that were heavily used,did not allow hands-on experience, and incorporated equipment that was old or borrowed fromresearch programs. The usual format was a teaching assistant conducting the experiment while agroup of students watched. Equipment was often located in a research setting and the tests weredifficult to observe. The primary need was an introductory laboratory that would allow studentsaccess to quality

The process began with the assignment of distinctand different tasks to each team in the beginning of the semester. As a group they were requiredto design and build a modular pump experimental setup from scratch, and test the system tovalidate the engineering principles, determine the pump performance parameters and plot itscharacteristics. The collaboration and time management among all teams were overseen by theinstructor and a teaching assistant. Finally, the requirements of submission of a project report onthe designed system and its presentation by each team at the end of the semester

Professor Jofriethas an extensive background in researching and teaching of FEA. The projects utilized eitherCFD or solid mechanics within their design. Six measures were used to assess the level ofintelligent CAE use.

Teach students to design their own experiments using available equipment to achieve a specified objective.The first four goals can be accomplished with traditional experiments1, in which studentsfollow a specified procedure to generate a clearly-defined set of data. During the first twoyears of their college careers, students encounter this approach numerous times. The fifthobjective, while often an essential skill in professional practice, is seldom considered inintroductory labs.
