education requirements for all bachelor degree programs. The new requirements include two“Writing Intensive” experience courses to be ‘embedded’ within a disciplinary topic. In addition toaddressing the need for instruction in technical communication, the new course adds experientiallearning and ethics to the sophomore engineering curriculum.The format of this course is a 3 hour per week, combined lecture + laboratory, worth 2 credit hours.The syllabus has four content modules and an oral presentation module. Content includes exper-imental methods, design, and technical writing. The experimental methods component includesmeasurement error, calibration, experimental uncertainty propagation, and statistical analysis ofdata. Writing and oral

performance of an engineered artefact. Morerecently virtual laboratories based on computer simulation and remote labs where physical orvirtual equipment is accessed at a distance using the internet have become accepted under theumbrella of “laboratory”. The proposed new ABET Criteria 3 (Student Outcomes) has broadenedsomewhat in respect of experimentation, thereby presenting an opportunity for discussion aroundlaboratory contexts.This paper argues we should adopt a more expansive understanding of what counts as a“laboratory”; one that recognizes the reality that practicing engineers must be adept at creatingand conducting investigations that take into account not only technical factors but also the socio-cultural, economic and even ethical aspects

experienced them. However, elementssuch as the real-time interaction between students with their peers, instructors and mostimportantly the instruments were felt to be missing in the remote laboratory and this absencewas a matter of concern for them. They stated that each interaction type had a significant roleto play in their learning during the first-year of engineering studies and also for building astrong foundation of engineering concepts for further engineering studies in their degree.Students’ responses further indicated that internet-mediated interactions could also interferewith their acquiring some of the expected learning outcomes such as instrumentation,communication, experimentation, ethics and safety matters, and learning from failures

As part of the project, the research teamhas carried out site visits to 29 institutions across 11 countries in Africa varying betweentraditional universities and emerging institutions with a focus on sustainability content inengineering curricula; employment trends of engineering graduates; online and distanceeducation; and skills relevant to rapid urbanization in Africa. The research protocol has beenapproved by the Research Ethics Board at the University of Toronto, under Protocol ID 33167.Data for this paper were gathered through interviews conducted with faculty and students atMakerere University (Uganda) regarding remote laboratories.

The DLP 3D printingtechnology is an extension of the stereolithography apparatus (SLA) 3D printing technology.While the SLA technology was the first 3D printing technology to be patented [30] andcommercialized, the inexpensive SLA 3D printers became available just in the past two to threeyears. SLA 3D printing technology is based on lasers and photopolymers. Here, an object is createdby repeatedly “drawing” object layers with lasers in a vat of photo
