different lab approach in this mechanical engineering course? (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. A laboratory-driven approach was developed to

. Distance learning facilitates adult studentswho often have family and work commitments. For the last two decades, engineering schoolshave been offering distance courses over the Internet, which is a common method offacilitating distance courses. Since lab activities in engineering fields are a crucial part oflearning, providing same laboratory experience that on-campus students receive for distance-learning students has remained a challenge. This challenge consists of both the lack oflaboratory equipment and the limited availability of the instructor for assistance and checkoff.Electrical lab equipment, such as a function generator, oscilloscope, and power supply, areexpensive to purchase and maintain. Additionally, it is not possible to build

Undergraduate Fluids LaboratoriesAbstractParticle image velocimetry (PIV) has become a mature technology used in research and industryalike to quantify flow properties non-intrusively. Unfortunately, the cost remains too high forstudents to apply the method in most undergraduate fluids laboratories. Moreover, high-poweredpulsed lasers normally utilized in PIV systems can be a safety risk in the presence of largegroups of undergraduates. In this paper, a low-cost PIV acquisition and analysis system that canbe readily implemented in undergraduate fluids laboratories is presented. A low-power, constantlaser light source is employed to reduce cost and maintain lab safety. An open source analysiscode is also used to minimize cost. In working lab exercises

These results are promising for the photolithography simulation as a training tool;users of the simulation can practice their motor skills in virtual spaces just like they would beable to in the physical world. The motor skills they gain can then be used in real-worldexperiments.In addition to its uses in entertainment, training, and rehabilitation, VR simulations are beingused as educational tools.
