generationof engineers and scientists. Teaching micro and nano scale technologies is often challenging andexpensive due to the cost and complexity of typical systems that are utilized to access the microand nano realm. In this work we discuss the Class on a Chip System, which has four maincomponents: packaged Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) chip, driver board/controlelectronics, graphical user interface, and laboratory experiments. The system provides arelatively low cost MEMS experimentation platform which can be utilized through a reasonablecontingent of laboratory tools (microscope and personal computer) available at most educationalinstitutions to teach fundamental physics and engineering knowledge, as well as illustrateimportant micro and

Each station is shared by 4 groups and includes:Battery Pack: two 12V batteries (Power Sonic, Model: PS-1212, 12V-1.4Ah) that power the24V electric motor (AmpFlow M27-150). The Battery Pack also includes temperature (AnalogDevices, Model:TMP36), current (Polulu, ACS711EX -15.5A to +15.5A) and voltage (voltagedivider) sensors to monitor the state of charge of the

engineering technology students are especially motivated by their real-timeprocessing learning experiences. To accommodate such a learning environment, our DSP coursewith laboratories has been improved, in which each lab concurrently requires MATLABsimulations as well as real-time processing coding with a digital signal processor such as TexasInstruments’ TMS320C6713 DSK.This DSP course is the second signal processing course in electrical and computer engineeringtechnology (ECET) program. The pre-requisite includes student working knowledge and skills ofLaplace transform, Fourier series, Fourier transform, and different types of analog active filterdesign. After completing the course, students not only become familiar with MATLAB softwaredevelopment

This paperdescribes a project where a group of undergraduate engineering students in themanufacturing processes, finite element methods and fluid mechanics courses designed,built, and tested a swirling pipe flow apparatus for measurements of friction factors. Theoverall objective was to engage the students in a design project. The paper will alsoprovide details of assessment and outcomes for the project.The students had to choose materials, minimize production cost, and determinefabrication techniques for the apparatus. Students designed the apparatus usingSolidWorks, and SolidWorks Flow Simulation software was used to simulate the swirlingpipe flow.Students

Challenges of running a successful 3D-printer lab are addressed. A number of student projects are described. Based on the shear amountof 3D prints and their quality it can be concluded that the acceptance of this technology is highwithin the undergraduate engineering student population.Introduction Early laboratory demonstrations of additive rapid prototyping systems were conductedthirty years ago (1984). However, the acceptance of these systems in undergraduate engineeringcurricula was relatively slow due to the high cost of the equipment, the high cost
