senior design project, aneducational device was created to teach students in developed and developing nations about theenvironmental impacts of water contamination and to promote sustainable water utilization. Toaccomplish this goal an interactive, educational, cost-effective water purification system, knownas the Adaptive Water Treatment for Education and Research Laboratory (Adaptive WaTERLab), was developed. The design includes six different purification methods contained inindividual housings that can be connected and reordered to create multiple purification solutions.The purification methods selected for this project include: sediment filtration, carbon filtration,chemical disinfection, reverse osmosis, forward osmosis, and ultraviolet

some researchers11,22,6 question the value of lab experiments,there is no doubt that the lab experiment is a commonly employed teaching tool in industrialtechnology. The purpose of laboratory experiments in industrial technology is, as Gillet,Latchman, Salzmann, and Crisalle10 said, “…to motivate, illustrate, and enlighten thepresentation of the subject matter addressed in the lecture” (p. 190).A written report often follows the lab experiment in order to cause the student to reflect on,summarize, and quantify the laboratory experience. To learn by doing in the laboratory,followed by reflecting on that experience and writing about it in the form of a report, can onlyfurther enhance learning. Lederman16 stated that “the assumption that students

13.88.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 A Program for Distributed Laboratories in the ECE CurriculumAbstractThis paper describes a project that seeks to improve undergraduate learning by developing acohesive program where experiments are introduced into a wide selection of ECE courses thatcurrently do not have labs. Most of the experiments are low cost and portable, which facilitates adecentralized laboratory environment where students perform the experiments at their homes orin the classroom rather than in dedicated laboratories. We will assess our work through theinvolvement of twelve faculty members teaching ten courses, some of which are offered indistance learning settings.1. IntroductionExperiments are vital to the

simplified somewhat from the initialimplementation. In some cases, fewer data points were recorded to determine a trend. In others,the scope of the experimental procedure was reduced. The laboratory measurements in our inquiry-based laboratory exercises are designed toexpose student misconceptions. The students are asked to make a prediction that exposes theirthinking. This is followed with a direct measurement that confirms a correct model or shows theerror of an incorrect model. Finally, our inquiry-based experiments are designed to teach students to apply qualitative aswell as quantitative reasoning. During the laboratory exercises, and on the pre and post-labquizzes, students are asked to predict trends in the measured data before that

Along with replacing the traditional discrete microprocessorwith a soft-core processor, the course was modified with the addition of the C programminglanguage. The course used assembly language to teach the features and capabilities of the NiosII processor (instructions, registers and memory) and quickly migrate to the C programminglanguage using a task-oriented approach rather than an exhaustive coverage of the language.Both instructors and students gained valuable experience through this process.Course ObjectiveThe ECE 332/332L Microprocessors course at Boise State University covers microprocessorarchitecture, software development
