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

for instruction. A current trend is to use trainers such asNational Instruments ELVIS platform. Dedicated training systems are relatively expensive. Thelongevity of the dual-in-line IC and breadboard is due in part to it being relatively inexpensive.The combination teaches the student the invaluable skills of circuit layout and trouble-shooting.Proposed in this paper is a new concept in the art of laboratory instruction which combines thecircuit trainer concept with the tried and true breadboard method. Using this concept, laboratoryinstruction can now be focused on modern surface mount components and ICs such as the uA741(and others such as the TL081 and TL051) in the small outline (SO) package. The developmentof this concept is the direct

, 2010 A Laboratory Method for Teaching Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog ConversionAbstractSince analog-to-digital converters (ADC’s) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC’s) are used insuch a wide variety of electronic systems, it is important for engineers to have a deepunderstanding of the distortions caused by ADC’s and DAC’s such as aliasing and quantization,and to realize that the digital signal is not a perfect representation of the original analog signal.In fact, if the system is set up poorly, the digital signal can be corrupted enough that it iscompletely unusable. Furthermore, students are often curious how ADC’s and DAC’s work andbenefit from building, testing, and using these

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

Thispaper describes the partial flipping of two electrical and computer engineering laboratory courses andevaluates the students’ performance under the flipped teaching approach. The primary motivation that drovethe first author to flip these classes was the desire to tailor class time to students’ needs, questions, andexperimentation.
