For example, in one laboratory the students need to connect two sine waves intothe left and right channels of a sound card, respectively, and create a dial tone generator(see Figure 2). An incomplete source code (without the highlighted statements) isprovided and the students need to complete and test the code by themselves. Thisexperiment does not require USRP front, therefore it can be done on any computer with asound card and an Ubuntu operating system. 4 Figure 2: Python Code for a Dial Tone GeneratorIV) GNU Radio and USRP Implementation.

]. Simplylecturing about these steps is insufficient to give students the experience necessary to effectivelyiterate in teams. Failure is one of the main reasons for iteration, but is difficult to teach about.The ability to identify and assess failures or other reasons for iteration can only be properlylearned through hands-on experience. Previous studies have highlighted the ability to teach suchconcepts using hands-on activities such as model building and laboratory exercises. Lemons etal. showed that model building helped students generate ideas, make ties between concept andphysical object, and finally make the students more away of their process-based strategies [6].Mackenchnie and Buchanan have employed hands-on activities in a laboratory class using

A CDIO-based Social Manufacturing Laboratory(CDIO-SML) that integrates 3D printing techniques for additive manufacturing ande-commerce for marketing has been developed and described in this paper. The lab consistsof five platforms for 1) teaching integration, 2) requirement acquisition, 3) interactive designand innovation, 4) manufacturing and production processes, 5) cyberspace-based marketingand operations. These five platforms facilitate product development from the requirement,design, manufacturing, marketing, to services.

Most of the engineering education practitioners use natural sciences and deductivemethods both in their research as well as in their teaching meaning that they need toobserve and present their findings in a logical and bias-free context5, 61, 14. This applies toboth the classroom as well as the laboratory. There is very little, or no space at all, forresearcher-based personal, inductive or intuitive interpretation 36, 61.
