Co-op employment providesstudents with discipline-relevant professional experience and early entry into the engineeringlabor force while serving as a recruitment tool for co-op companies. While much is known aboutthe value of cooperative education programs, relatively little is known about why there aredifferent rates of participation by race/ethnicity and how recruitment and pre-screening practicesinfluence the diversity of students who participate in co-op programs. The objectives of thisresearch project are to identify factors that influence student access to cooperative

When limited space or funds confine the labenvironment, a stable, yet flexible, laboratory environment that can quickly be configured fornew or updated courses becomes a necessity.CIS, CS, and other technology-based programs rely heavily on computer laboratories to serve asthe major resource for implementing active and project-based learning in a university setting.The literature reviewed shows positive results such as increased student enthusiasm towards theirprograms of study, perceptual and actual increases in students’ knowledge, and development ofdesign and team

The majority of these students‟ performance on the two tests and three to five number of quizzes has improved slightly, but not significantly. However, their performance on the final project was significantly higher due to the fact that the instructor gave them time to correct the mistakes (to redo wrong work), and also due to the group effort

The application of thedata acquisition and analysis programs of this project is applicable to almost any experimentwhere several different temperatures are required to be recorded and analyzed in the educationof undergraduate students in an introductory thermodynamics course.Examination of the temperature ~ time plot (Figure 4) shows temperature fluctuations of about± 0.1 deg C in temperature data

Students completed an online quiz following the lecture which tested theirunderstanding of the relationship between velocity and pressure in a venturi.In the following class students were given the link so that they could view the experiment live ontheir laptops. The instructor controlled the experiment and projected the image. Students couldobserve the change in pressure along the venturi from the height of the colored fluid in themanometer tubes. They were then asked to perform calculations based on the experiment. Theworksheet included a diagram of the venturi used in the remote lab, calculation questions
