experimental results to analytical or simulatedpredictions, satisfying a major learning objective. The higher sampling rate of the MuddLog16had the effect of allowing students to be less-attentive to the potential of aliasing; future versionsof the course should examine means to ensure students acquire and understand aliased data.IntroductionExperimental Engineering at Harvey Mudd College is an intense multi-faceted sophomore-level,semester-long course. The stated learning objectives for the course are: 1. Demonstrate hardware and equipment skills: a. Demonstrate the safe and proper use of basic laboratory equipment: e.g., digital multimeter (DMM), signal generator, oscilloscope, breadboard, and analog transducers

’ 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.

samescenario tested in this experiment. Figure 20 shows the results of the FEA simulation run for theFSAE spaceframe. The simulation was run with 400 ft-lbf, an average suspension load, appliedacross the front axle. The torsional stiffness at the front axle from FEA was calculated to bearound 1100 ft-lbf/deg. This is within 10% of the value calculated from the experimental setup. Figure 20: The results of the torsional rigidity computer simulation.Course StructureThe implementation of the laboratory experiment consisted of both horizontal and verticalcurricular integration with other courses.Horizontally, this laboratory experiment in ME160 Engineering Experimentation is an extensionof an experiment that is done earlier in the course

Prior to this, Chad led a laptop-required program for pre-service teachers in the UT Austin College of Education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Teaching Embedded Systems in a MOOC FormatAbstractWe have designed and implemented a Massive Open Online Class (MOOC) with a substantiallab component within the edX platform. We deployed this MOOC three times with a totalenrollment of over 100,000 students. If MOOCs are truly going to transform engineeringeducation, then they must be able to deliver classes with laboratory components. Our offeringgoes a long

power control or fan speed control is required. Students in an instrumentation or controlscourse could use the USB interface to the Arduino to collect data and/or reprogram the Arduino toperform feedback control.Six of the devices with varying sized heat sinks were used in a trial homework assignment in anundergraduate heat transfer course with 75 students in Spring 2015 and in another section of thesame course with 57 students in Winter 2016. At this point, we have no quantitative assessmentdata.OverviewThough laboratory exercises are a standard part of an engineering curriculum, there are a widevariety of ways that labs can be implemented. In recent years a number of simple experimentshave been developed that help to make laboratory
