cost effectiveness issues due to the recent economic crisis. Manufacturingcompanies are cautious about sustainable workforce, particularly in equipment operation. Theworkers’ faulty operations could cause significant damage of the facilities and personal injuriesand safety hazards. Therefore, the intensive, informative and 24 hour access learning andtraining tools are demanded. This is a collaborative project between IMSE department and MEdepartment to significantly enhance effectiveness in cyber based learning. This collaboration isto address the fundamental, yet challenging problem in manufacturing education: (1) How toimprove teaching and learning effectiveness in online course and facility oriented learning andtraining; (2) How to better

experimental skills sothat students will be able to use an experiment as a flexible tool for problem-finding andproblem-solving in a self-directed manner. This objective has been established as aconsequence of repeated curriculum reforms since 1997.Before 1997, these laboratory courses were targeted on letting students experience the mainengineering phenomena and to teach them how to use instrumentation. Instructors designedan experiment and prepared everything for it prior to the classes, and students studied witha textbook beforehand and conducted the arranged experiment in class. This method helpedstudents to experience various engineering phenomena efficiently but did not build theirability to update their knowledge and seek new knowledge and

Channel count and sample rates are some important characteristics of dataloggers.The teaching of data acquisition principles in undergraduate engineering is important becausecomputer-based data acquisition and control is ubiquitous in industrial and laboratory contexts.Data measurements are taken to characterize and analyze performance of a device or system;validate analytical models; further understanding of physical phenomena; monitor and controlperformance of manufacturing, automation, or processes; and monitor equipment. Data-acquisition education can be tied to principles of signal processing and electrical engineering,and reinforce graphing skills and presentation.Ray1,2
