top five high priority competencygaps 16.It is clear that the question is not whether we teach using engineering laboratory experiences;rather, the question is what hands-on instructional strategies generate the maximum possibleeducational outcomes, and also make a sustained, substantial, and positive difference in the waystudents learn? Traditionally, learning through engineering laboratory experiences is conductedin the following way: Students receive laboratory assignments, conduct experiments, and thenturn in their lab reports to the instructor. Our years of teaching experiences have shown that thistraditional approach may not stimulate and motivate students enough for critical thinking andproblem solving to occur.This paper presents a

In the development of the facility described in thispaper, that of a low speed wind tunnel, the approach has been to ensure that the laboratory isadequate to address representative engineering problems, and adaptable enough for the student tolearn how to solve new problems by the suitable arrangement of models and instrumentation.The Wind Tunnel Teaching Facility at ASU PolytechnicMechanical and Aeronautical engineering technology programs deal with problems that areassociated with the interactions between fluids and other aspects of engineering.

Laboratory PhilosophyMany introductory ECE courses include a hands-on laboratory experience. Most often, theconstituent experiments consist of step-by-step progressions through exercises that enablestudents to observe or verify fundamental concepts. While this approach can be an effectivemethod of teaching and reinforcing theoretical concepts, many students do not find it particularlymotivating or insightful.To promote concept integration throughout the semester, all Fundamentals laboratory exercisesare based on a single platform. In selecting the platform, several criteria were critical. First, theideal

All of the teams reporton their progress and answer questions on their projects in a weekly three hour labmeeting with all of the groups.
