This repositorycombines not only lecture and textbook material, but also every assignment (in assessed format),all quizzes (with answers) laboratory activities (in audiovisual format), student oral presentations(podcast), and lectures in asynchronous format. This allows all of the data and informationaccumulated by students throughout their varying MSE course collected in one place, and is ableto act as a quick resource and information kit for future use as the eportfolio is quickly accessed.Student and graduate responses have been positive especially for those in the workforce

However, it should be noted that this ability extends to remote implementation of controllers. The implementation of remote controlled laboratories with student access over the internet using the smart flexible beam with a similar electronic architecture has previously been reported 8.

The first three weeks of the fifteen-week semester are devoted primarily toLabVIEW programming. During the next eight weeks, the concepts and integration of sensorsand actuators, interface electronics, and data acquisition and instrument control hardware/software are covered.

Learning in Electrical Engineering Class1. IntroductionAll core courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Howard University and, at certain extent,in most engineering and science disciplines everywhere, are each taught by a combination of lectureand laboratory. The idea behind the lecture-lab combination is to help bridge the gap between theclassroom knowledge of theory and the practical aspect in real world. The good idea, however, hasfailed to produce the necessary practice and intended result. Lecture and lab are seldom taught in thesame class and, therefore, different topics are covered in two separate classes. Often, lecture and labare taught by different instructors. Consequently, the intended learning

undergraduate programs that use programmable logic technologiesprovide only limited access to these technologies in 2 or 3 hour weekly lab sessions. Duringthese lab sessions, students have to master new concepts previously taught in theoretical lectures,use laboratory equipment to build experiments, develop software and hardware debuggingskills and learn how use complex CAD tools. The limitation of this traditional approach is thefact that 2 or 3 hours of lab sessions prove insufficient to meet all the lab objectives.Consequently, students do not develop the right skills required by industry.A new approach, where every student owns his or her own programmable hardware system andCAD tool suite, is now feasible due to decreased costs.
