Hands on Education in Integrated Curriculum Lin Lin University of Southern Maine1. Introduction:It has been demonstrated by numerous studies that the combination of theory and hands-onexperience is a critical component of engineering education [1]. To teach engineering studentshow to design an experiment, preform a test, collect and analyze data, draw conclusions, etc. arecritical. Hands on laboratory experiences can be delivered in various ways. They are eitherintegrated into courses that contain both lectures and lab components or offered separately as labcourses.Traditionally, mechanical engineering programs offer 2 or 3 mechanical lab

Gradually, as the program gained acceptance by localcompanies, the program faculty decided to build upon the success of the early internshipprogram by allowing the substitution of an additional optional

On Using Simulators and a Hybrid Approach for an Internetworking Technology Course Benito Mendoza | bmendoza@citytech.cuny.edu Department of Computer Engineering Technology New York City College of TechnologyThis paper presents an implementation of a hybrid course in advanced computer networksfocused on internetworking technologies. Professional networking equipment is expensive andsetting up a big enough networking laboratory can be costly. To overcome this problem, thecourse makes use of online and offline computer networks simulators that help the students topractice the concepts and skills required to obtain a

At the University of Houston, we focus on hands-on learning in our curriculum. We begin byintroducing Arduino and Matlab in our freshmen introductory level course, ECE 1331: Computerand Problem Solving. In spring 2016, students have the opportunity to program Arduino usingMatlab in conjunction with an LED matrix to design a game as other institutions [1-4] have alsoused Arduino in their classrooms with great success. Although Dr. Marpaung has received apositive feedback in regards to using a Zumo bot in classroom [5], he believes that he can alsoenhance students’ hands-on learning experience by offering them a different set of projectsinvolving an LED matrix. Lab Assignments Laboratory assignments are
