theirwork.Traditional networking laboratoriesA good network teaching laboratory is essential to support student learning in a Networks course.A traditional networking lab, in addition to the computers, requires networking equipment such asrouters, switches and appropriate connections. The equipment needs to be updated regularly forthe students to be able to apply the skills they learn in the lab directly in the work force.Unfortunately, traditional networking labs are a fairly scarce resource. In addition to the cost ofequipment and updates, it is a challenge to design the lab to allow flexible configurations. Thesenetwork configurations are often not compatible with the campus network. Class assignmentsmay be restricted to those that can be performed using

University of Bridgeport. In order to have hands-onexperience, a laboratory is necessary for our engineering students with their interest in thesustainable energy as well as smart grid. A course, Sustainable Energy Laboratory, was proposedby the school’s curriculum committed and it is offered in the Spring semester, 2011. In thiscourse, a series of experiments are designed on the operating and testing of solar panels, windturbine, fuel cell. Moreover, experiments on power electronics and data acquisition aredeveloped to optimize the utilization of different energy sources. Finally, simulation on smartgrid power system and hybrid power system will help the students understand the challenges inthe use of sustainable energy resources

Laboratory at the West Virginia University Lane Department ofComputer Science and Electrical Engineering, set up one of its four sections offered in an onlinefashion as a “lab in a box.” This approach is a set of hands-on exercises where students design,build, and test circuits at home using an inexpensive all-in-one electronics kit, digital multimeter,and a USB oscilloscope. With this “lab in a box,” the students, at their own convenience, conductseveral multi-week laboratory experiments such as basic amplifier design, LED four channelcolor organs, and frequency response of circuits. Each week, students use online tools such asdiscussion boards and blogs through a web-based course management system, built into thecampus Learning Management System

LaboratoryIntroductionTraditional undergraduate communications courses have focused on analog transmissionschemes such as amplitude (AM) and frequency modulation (FM). Given the comparativelysimple design of analog modulation circuitry, offering a laboratory component to the course isstraightforward. In a typical laboratory session, students could construct and investigate theperformance of AM or FM transmitters or receivers.With the emergence of technology such as digital cellular telephony and wireline and wirelessdata communications, the emphasis has shifted from analog to digital modulation. Because ofthis shift, digital communications has become an important component to all levels ofcommunications instruction. Due to the complexity of equipment that can emulate

often have students apply control strategies on systems (plants) thathave been given to them in the problem statement. However, this often leaves the students withthe belief that the system models in these assignments are exact, and easily obtainable. Utilizingour Education Control Products (ECP) systems, as well as Matlab’s Simulink, we developed asequence of laboratories to emphasize the difference between the model of a system and a realsystem in our undergraduate controls classes.All of the electrical engineering students at Rose-Hulman are required to take ECE-320: LinearControl Systems. This is a junior level class offered in the first and third quarter each year. Thecurrent prerequisites for the class are ES-205: Analysis and Design of

This studyaims at integrating MSO features into analog oscilloscopes to teach students both digital andanalogue systems and signal analysis. The proposal will show how the MSOs can be used in theelectrical and computer engineering curriculum through an “Introduction to Microcontrollers”laboratory course. Two labs are introduced to allow the students to analyze and study the digitaldomain of the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) protocols.Finally, the labs will teach the student how to analyze machine code and map it into both assemblyinstructions and high

focus on hands-on experience and practical skills. This arrangement ismainly due to the convenience of having information delivered in a classroom environment, whilemaking use of the lab resources to apply and experiment with the newly gathered information.However, keeping these two separate is neither ideal nor representative of the workplace, whereengineering is a coherent and iterative process. In fact, problems often arise when the lecture andlab components are not fully coordinated. In attempt to progress engineering education, theMyFPGA platform is developed.Building a remote laboratory such as MyFPGA has been an active research area since MIT startedthe iCampus research project [1], aiming at creating an online laboratory for various
