’ hands-on exploration of aconcept occurs prior to formal instruction. In the course, student exploration of fundamentalstructural engineering concepts was facilitated through the following activities: (i) full-classphysical demonstrations led by the instructor during lecture, (ii) small-group experimentation ina laboratory setting, and (iii) case studies highlighting both failures and exemplarynatural/engineered structures presented via instructor lectures and supplementary multi-mediamaterials. The objective of this paper is demonstrate how the “exploration before theory”approach can be implemented and what is required to accomplish the hands-on, inquiry,discussion, and formal teaching aspects that comprise this teaching style.

In typical testing of an industry-scale battery pack, several cycling tests(charging and discharging processes) are required in order to monitor the battery’s State of Charge(SOC). It could also take many hours or even days to complete the battery cell balancingprocedure. Battery cell voltage measurement also is one of the important parameters fordeveloping controls algorithm for the BMS. Responding to the changing needs of

The accelerations are measured using piezoelectric accelerometers on a test setupwhich is provided to the students in the laboratory. In contrast to the load cell transducer MEA,the accelerometer MEA teaches experimental measurement but not design, as the students areasked to evaluate a set of packaging materials
