To develop an experiment and apparatus in order to measure the torsion of bars of severaldifferent materials using an “optical measurement process/system”.2. To create an opportunity for collaborative research and design efforts between theundergraduate engineering student(s) and the faculty.3. To design, produce, test, and optimize a cost-effective, reproducible apparatus withoutstanding features.4.

Suchexperiments are typically found in curricula at both 4-year universities and 2-year colleges andare sometimes performed as part of an experimental sequence in physics courses as well. Inmany cases, they are part of a first or second course in electrical and computer engineering andall too frequently are presented in a somewhat superficial manner. Furthermore, the transformeris often assembled in an ad hoc fashion, and students are advised to be aware of safety

Professional Development (ECPD and today’s ABET)quickly implemented changes that resulted in a shift from the practical aspects of engineeringthat were taught in the laboratory to an increased emphasis on theory and basic science.2In the 1970’s with the completion of the moon mission and the cancellation of major engineeringprojects such as the supersonic transport, engineering education saw a significant decline infunding and as a result, many schools reduced laboratory requirements to save money. At thesame time, industry demanded more practical skills and in response, many education institutionsdeveloped technology programs. The boundaries between engineers and technologist becameblurred and so ECPD began to accredit two and four year programs

The authors recognize that thenumber of interviews is extremely limited. This was due to the difficulty in contacting studentswho had already graduated. Nevertheless, some insights were gained into the thought process ofthese students.The students were asked to describe their best lab experience as a mechanical engineeringstudent, and what made it the best. In both cases, the students preferred hands on interaction withreal tools, sensors, and equipment. One student enjoyed a lab in mechanical testing because itwas “hands-on, exciting, and mildly dangerous”. The other student enjoyed a

Of the students reporting, 7 completedtroubleshooting visually; 2 people used the multimeter; no one used the oscilloscope; and onestudent wrote that s/he “tried everything” (Table 1). A key objective of these labs is for studentsto encounter problems building the circuit and have to invoke circuit debugging techniques.

also necessaryto adequately populate the database.The development team also learned about the availability of assessment instruments for use inthe engineering education community. As shown in Tables A1-A6, information could be locatedfor several attitudinal measures. Many instruments were also easily identified for assessingknowledge, behaviors, and professional skills. Fewer instruments were located for assessing thelearning environment or using institutional data to measure various outcomes. One trend thatoccurred in the early 1990’s and 2000’s was the development of numerous concept inventoriesintended to improve classroom teaching and learning. During this time, the need for valid andreliable measures, and the understanding of reliability
