notsignificantly change student learning. Multiple speculations may explain these results: (1)teaching and learning is a complex process sensitive to many factors and laboratory tools are onlyone of the many. The contribution of the new tools could be completely masked by the otherfactors; (2) the assessment instruments, although both subjective and objectives ones arecarefully selected here, might not measure laboratory learning effectively, confirming theconclusion that the assessment of laboratory work is tricky made in [9].Figure 4 shows that in the three assessed areas (voltage divider, equipment using, and datainterpretation) that are more closely related to electronic hand-on laboratory, the experimentgroup did not do as well as the control group

Several interactive laboratories have been developedand assessed in undergraduate courses. In addition to containing basic signal processingfunctions such as sampling, convolution, digital filter design and spectral analysis, J-DSP is alsosupported by several toolboxes. An iOS version of the software has also been developed andpresented 13-15. Here, we describe an Android based graphical application, A-JDSP, for signalprocessing simulation. The proposed tool has the potential to enhance DSP education bysupporting both educators and students alike to teach and learn digital signal

Further, readyaccess to (a) electronic components (e.g., through research laboratories, the parts shop, or thelaboratory support staff), (b) corroborating benchtop laboratory equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes,multimeter, and spectrum analyzers), and (c) other students is a disincentive to leave the confinesof the engineering environment and work at home. Therefore, to realistically gauge theeffectiveness of this teaching approach, the instructors may need to mandate at-home workduring the next offering of this course.Regarding the Topical Learning Experiences, the self-reported learning that occurred wasmoderate across the board for all topical categories. This is encouraging. Approximately onethird of these

During the last week of the semester, groups give oral presentations of their experimental findings. When possible students are encouraged to perform an in-class demonstration of their experiment. Groups are to submit a detailed written report on the experiment as well as the theoretical basis for it and a brief description of linkages between the experiment and the
