In fact, while the primary objective of the laboratory is to introduce studentsto the concepts in instrumentation, it has also had a secondary objective of integrating the analogand digital concepts learned in previous courses. Since instrumentation is a critical part ofcontrol systems and all the senior design projects need some type of instrumentation, theElectronic System Interfacing course is one of the key courses in the Program.Traditionally, the Electronic

With theadvent of computers, learning through computer-based environments has dramatically increased1, 2 . The high demand in engineering professionals equipped with relevant and up-to-date PLCsskills, drives the engineering education to develop the alternative to the standard in-classinstruction approaches. Traditional approach of teaching PLCs assumes the training to be doneon actual equipment. Theory and exercises are integrated into a course to improve and perfectstudent skills. The conventional way of performing an experiment is to be physically present inthe laboratory. Students work in groups of two to

The infusion of real worldproblems through undergraduate research helps the students understand the relevance of thetheory being taught. All too often students fail to see the relevance of the subjects being taught ina traditional lecture or lecture with traditional laboratory. This lack of being able to make theconnection from academic classes to the post-graduation expectations of an employer is oftengiven as a reason for poor retention of students. It is imperative to improve retention and helpstudents have a better understanding of what it will be like to be an engineer after graduation.Using undergraduate research projects from industry does some very important

In this way, two distinct coursedelivery methods would be compared to the new methodology. It should be noted that the Webexsystem was implemented two days after the semester had begun, in response to an emergencysituation that prevented the instructor from regularly teaching on campus.
