Each course is 2 credit hoursand includes 50 minutes of lecture and 2 hours of lab per week. The sequence was designed toexpand the amount of ‘hands-on’ experience within the curriculum and to horizontally align labexperiences with required courses in mechanics and thermal sciences. Faculty teaching founda-tional courses identified a need for students to have tangible activities demonstrating the conceptsthey were learning, which is achieved with targeted alignment of
