. • Students thought the lab exercises accompanying the course should be included as a separate laboratory credit. • Students voiced frustration that the labs seemed untested and held the view that the CEENBoT still had some “significant technical problems with it” and it needed to be more fully ready for integration into the instructional aspects of the program. This was due to the newness of the untested platform and the experimental nature of the first

The strain signals pass through the Wheatstonebridges and amplifiers shown in Figure 12. The signals output from CH0 and CH1ports as shownin Figure 11. As shown in Figure 12, the data acquisition module contains a screw terminalinput, Wheatstone bridge, amplifier, and BNC output for each channel. The module is poweredby a laboratory DC supply or four internal AA batteries. All the components are mounted on apanel of perfboard and placed in a recycled computer power supply case.

. This aspect oflearning is not incorporated in many active learning procedures, but is an essential part of SBL.A drawback to the implementation of SBL in a traditional class is that it is time-intensive. Asthe title suggests, this technique has most frequently been used in studio-based classes. The classtime allotted for studio sessions is more typical of that for a laboratory class in engineering—twoto three hours. So while the SBL approach might work in a class for which an extendedrecitation section is part of the class, the time constraints inherent in a typical one-hour lecture-based engineering class would seem to be a large impediment to using SBL. With the advent ofasynchronous communication media, this no longer need be a
