The advantage ofimplementing this method are that it allows the student to use their creativity to come up witha solution of their own, rather than having the instructor give them a predetermined sequenceon how to solve certain

More andmore engineering programs are placing greater emphasis on the importance of hands-onexperience offered by laboratory courses. Compared to the efforts and resources invested inpurchasing expensive state-of-the-art lab equipment and developing innovative lab modules,little attention is paid to assessing student learning and reflecting on the teaching methods in labcourses. Without careful design and assessment, instructors are more likely to push students intobusy work, without achieving real learning and

This studyaims at integrating MSO features into analog oscilloscopes to teach students both digital andanalogue systems and signal analysis. The proposal will show how the MSOs can be used in theelectrical and computer engineering curriculum through an “Introduction to Microcontrollers”laboratory course. Two labs are introduced to allow the students to analyze and study the digitaldomain of the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) protocols.Finally, the labs will teach the student how to analyze machine code and map it into both assemblyinstructions and high

Course Using Design-Based Teaching ApproachAbstract: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes is one of the core courses in most mechanicalengineering, manufacturing engineering, and industrial engineering programs. The current coursecurriculum and teaching style mainly depend on the lectures for the manufacturing processes thatare aligned and synchronized with the laboratory work (project) to gain the required knowledgeand skills. According to students’ feedback for this course as well as similar courses offered at otheruniversities, the course is time intensive, involves no critical thinking, requires limited classparticipation, and is not well connected with real-world manufacturing problems

work environments [1]-[6]. Among them, most prominently are writing andpresentation skills. A parallel curriculum addressing these non-scientific/technical skills isusually a strong contributor towards these goals. Another tool generally more directly controlledby science/engineering faculty is using courses in the discipline, especially laboratory courses, toemphasize writing components and/or presentation skills. Lab reports can serve as a very goodtool to sharpen writing skills or, more extensively, the skills needed to produce a coherent, wellthought, well-written scientific paper or technical report.A more comprehensive approach to different paths and philosophies for the teaching of writingskills and its balance can be found in the

falls upon graduate teaching assistants(TAs) who lack the experience or training to do it effectively. This often leads to student complaintsabout inconsistency between various sections.This paper discusses the implementation of a lab report assignment using peer-to-peer feedbackas the primary means of formative assessment for a large (120+ student) laboratory course. Thisoption has two distinct advantages over traditional instructor (or TA) driven feedback. First, from apractical standpoint, peer feedback leverages the size of the cohort to accomplish a time-intensivetask. Each student evaluates 3-4 papers rather than the instructor (or TA) having to evaluate overone hundred. More importantly, however, engaging the students in the review

Euler in 1757 developed a mathematical modelfor maximum buckling capacity of a member. He presented the maximum load that a membercan carry before failure due to buckling as a function of the length, moment of inertia of thecross section, modulus of elasticity of material and the fixity conditions of the member. Mostly,civil engineering students learn about the theory of buckling in the spring of their sophomoreyear in a Statics II course. Static II is combined with a two-hour weekly laboratory session.
