The higher sampling rate of the MuddLog16had the effect of allowing students to be less-attentive to the potential of aliasing; future versionsof the course should examine means to ensure students acquire and understand aliased data.IntroductionExperimental Engineering at Harvey Mudd College is an intense multi-faceted sophomore-level,semester-long course. The stated learning objectives for the course are: 1. Demonstrate hardware and equipment skills: a. Demonstrate the safe and proper use of basic laboratory equipment: e.g., digital multimeter (DMM), signal generator, oscilloscope, breadboard, and analog transducers

Computer Engineering Department HeadsAssociation, Mousavinezhad et al. started a workshop series for developing educational andresearch programs in a critical area of power and energy systems with the support of the NationalScience Foundation 3. Many recent efforts have been devoted to improve the teaching throughsimulation 4-7; nevertheless, few have been devoted to enhance hands-on skills. Recently Farhadiand Mohammed designed a Laboratory-Scale Hybrid DC power System to address that issue8.However, it requires tremendous effort from the instructors and a great amount of sourcefunding, which is hard to duplicate in most of the schools. In addition, the DC power system issparsely used in power industry as the AC power system is still dominant due

At the graduate level this validationstep is often excluded, so students end up with the skills to build complex models, but never to setup realistic experimental conditions and accurate data acquisition systems to test these models.Our goal was to provide the educational structure to teach the integration of the two disciplines,but to also take it a step further and have the exemplar
