This paperpresents a framework for integrating intelligent sensor real-time measurementdata into engineering education for innovative practice-oriented learningenvironment. In this integration framework, intelligent sensors are deployed onLocal Area Networks (LAN) in engineering laboratories to measure physicalquantities that may be used for classroom

the fall of 2014. This class was co-taught by professors from the MechanicalEngineering Technology (MET), Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) and the Computerand Information Technology (CIT) programs at Purdue University.The goal of this paper is to document the activities carried out during the semester the coursewas taught and present the lessons learned from teaching multidisciplinary students with thebackgrounds in MET, EET and CIT.The objective of the course was to provide a Project Based Learning (PBL) experience for thestudents. Students were tasked to specify, design, and develop prototype sub-systems for existingrobots. During the semester, the students attended lectures and participated in laboratories thatwere heavily focused

All of them state that assessment shalltake place, but a careful reading of the evaluation criteria showed that 8 out of 12 reportscontained only the general assessment criteria stated by the National agency of education(Skolverket). These are intended for the contents of the technology subject as a whole, and notto be used for specific tasks or projects.Four out of 12 students made their own assessment criteria based on their teaching activities,presented in the

theclassroom, whether in a lecture, laboratory, or discussion-based course, it is extremely difficultfor the faculty member to instantly gauge the current state of each student and which actions totake accordingly. Faculty time outside the classroom is limited, with many factors vying forattention, from course preparation to grant-writing.The process has delays embedded throughout its various steps: whether considering the casewhen an instructor delivers an assignment or instruction and a student takes several days beforeacting on it, or the time lapse between when an assessment instrument is initially put to use andwhen the instructor either receives that information, finishes decoding it, or makes use of it, thesedelays may prove crucial in
