Ikiriko et al. [9] investigated the impact of ahome-based measurement of strain experiment. They found increased student motivational levelsin the civil engineering discipline following a pre- and post-experimental survey. According toChowdhury et al., [10] most engineering programs require hands-on workshop facilities toconduct educational laboratory activities to achieve academic objectives. Hands-on pedagogyachieves better learning outcomes using portable multifunction instruments to substitute largerlaboratory instruments [7

The course includes fieldtrips, lab exercises, and hands-on activities intended to give students a practical frame-of-reference that is helpful in subsequent analysis and design courses.Most activities consist of some pre-reading, a short classroom lesson, the hands-on portion, andfinally a quiz or laboratory practical exercise.

The justification for additional seat time is similar to howphysical laboratories are viewed within the Carnegie unit system—the out-of-class time associated withrecitation time is less than pure lecture because a lot of the work is done in class.One implication of this approach was that we needed different rooms for lecture and recitation.
