The global world we now all live in requires us to provide new innovators to createnew products at a very rapid pace compared to past generations. In forming these new directions,we need to reengineer the laboratory experience. We need to rethink traditional methods tobecome more flexible and challenging to the individual student. If we wish to encourageinnovation, a new method of delivery that is different from the traditional laboratory instructionneeds to be developed.2, 3, 9, 10 Allowing the student to use higher order learning which includesproblem development, experimental

The system renders several promising features: portable, low-cost, simple, and compact in size, to name a few. In this paper, we first introduce the components and the mechanism of the RF measurement system. We then present a laboratory exercise that designed for an antenna radiation pattern study using the developed system. Detailed lab procedures and results collected from a recent upper-division communication systems course in an EET program are provided. The lab results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed system. Additional assessment data from students’ feedback further

Educators developed andimplemented simulations, animations; set up remote laboratories; and recorded videos to conveythis process – and its components – effectively in on-line settings. For example, virtual andremote laboratories developed for different courses around the world – including virtuallaboratory for teaching robotics[6]; virtual learning environment for the laboratory component ofmechanisms and machine dynamics course[7, 8]; remote laboratory for circuit theory, sensortechnology, and oscilloscope and function generator course[9]; and instrumentation platform

CourseAbstractWith an increasing emphasis on student learning outcomes and assessment, educators constantlyseek ways to effectively integrate theory and hands-on practices in inventive course designmethodologies. Critics of engineering education argue that educational programs focus too muchon the transmittal of information through static lecture-discussion formats and routine use ofoutdated laboratory exercises. On the other hand, that active learning, learning that involveshands-on experience, significantly improves student comprehension and proficiency. It is clearthat understanding and retention are greatly enhanced when students engage in active learning.While theoretical knowledge remains a fundamental component of any comprehension process,the

approacheshave been reported in the discipline-based education research literature. One possibility is torestrict contents to theory. A course can also cover system theory and use simulation as a tool toenhance student understanding and to promote exploration in system design. There are well-regarded textbooks that support this approach.3,4It is also possible to use a numerical language as the basis of hands-on experimentation. Verylow-cost approaches, based on using a computer’s soundcard as an analog front-end, arefeasible.5 Other reported approaches digitize laboratory-generated signals, which are laterprocessed and analyzed by students.6Simulation software can be used at different levels of complexity.

A cone shaped wing guide apparatus (WGA) is constructed toforce air away from the wind turbine hub toward the tips of the wind turbine blades.
