Unit Operations coursesseek to expose students to the type and scale of equipment they are likely to see in industry andto equip them with the ability to analyze the behavior of these systems as well as have a true“feel” for how they work (or don’t work

: Configuration 1 interface5. ConclusionsThis paper presents two remote laboratory experimental systems designed and developedusing the described strategy. One is a sensor actuator system the user can manipulate toperform certain laboratory experiments. The system also complements teaching Pythonprogramming for a Raspberry Pi over the web. Students can write their programs and uploadthem on the remote experimental system. The sensors and actuators are an array of lightemitting diodes, a temperature sensor, a liquid crystal display, a servo motor, and anultrasonic sensor. A suitable GUI was also developed so remote users can manipulate thecontrolled entities with little difficulty. The second experiment is a coupled tank system forperforming process

Other responsibilities, such as labsetup or grading, were handled by a traditional teaching assistant and laboratory instructor. Theveteran lab instructor assisted in all lab sessions and provided limited outside assistance as welland was paid $1,500 for the semester. This was all made possible by a newly mandated upper-division classroom fee structure, which enabled a number of previously unfunded educationalideas to be implemented.This paper describes the results of a one-semester trial starting with our Circuit Analysis lab.This is the first lab in which traditional electrical T&ME (e.g

of laboratory exercises. Online educational resources often concentrateon teaching theoretical concepts, such as proving theorems or solving equations, and have verylittle or no coverage of practical laboratories. Laboratory experiments are an essentialcomponent of science and engineering education as they provide hands-on experiences forunderstanding theoretical concepts or directly addressing real world problems. Students oftenlearn more from lab exercises than purely theoretical problems. One approach to compensate forthis deficiency is to provide recorded videos of real lab experiments which familiarize studentswith the process of how a certain lab is conducted. However, this method alone does notadequately substitute for the physical

(2) How well and will the students still meet course objectives with the new format?In the past, the instructors observed that some students attempted to “pattern match” a specificsolution on a previous lab and used these previous labs as resources, knowing the demonstrationor experiment really did not change much from each offering. The goal of this new coursestructure is to encourage creative thinking over this pattern matching behavior.Teaching MethodologyAt The Citadel, a Mechatronics course was developed to teach subject matter required for thedesign of systems which have electrical, mechanical, and programmable aspects.

Before introducing this experiment to our Fundamentalscoursework, students at the University of Virginia would never see this concept without takingour course in Electromagnetic Energy Conversion in which they would deal with polyphasesystems. We also realized that having a lab bench accessory that would produce phase-shiftedsinusoids could be employed as a teaching tool for reinforcing concepts in superposition andoperational amplifier circuits, as well as phasor analysis.Our design is shown in Figure 7.

MotivationThere are a number of hardware platforms available for power electronics teaching laboratories.A typical unit is both physically very large and expensive limiting its usefulness for a typicalspace-constrained university undergraduate laboratory [6]. Other devices available may be of asmaller form factor but require interconnection of many different components to create a singlestation for a laboratory, and each station may cost well over $10,000 [4]. This price level maywell place these units out of consideration for smaller institutions, or those seeking to start powerand grid-based curriculum from scratch. One of our goals is a simple, compact setup that might be employed on a multi-use lab station ina typical undergraduate electronics

posting their questions on web sites.Although distance learning has been effective for non-engineering courses, distance engineeringstudents face multiple challenges. One of the problems in teaching engineering topics viadistance learning is the lack of laboratories where the students can perform real experiments. Forexample, an electrical engineering student must perform various practical experiments usingtransistors, operational amplifiers, and other components to verify theories and to learntroubleshooting.The first solution applied to address the lack of laboratories was the use of simulators [2,3,4].Computer simulation is used in industries wherever the practice of conducting experiments on areal system is either impractical or impossible
