in the classroom through implementation activities which otherwise would not beavailable to them. In the 2005 fall semester, for the first time we took a graduate (ELET 5320)class of nine students to the Advanced Optics and Sensors Laboratory for practical experiences.Students observed demonstrations of the polymer waveguide fabrication process. This is the firststep to fulfill our objective. We plan to divide future classes into small groups of 3-5 students.Each group would fabricate the waveguide based on their designs. We anticipate measurableachievements in following years.Acknowledgement Authors thank Brad Borden and Haritha Namduri for taking the SEM image

annualenrollment of 100 students.Implementation The first step of the laboratory overhaul was to review existing labs and identify areasneeding change in order to develop an overall project plan. The original undergraduate coursehad eight laboratory experiments spread over a 15 week semester, including a five week projectin which RF isolation techniques were investigated using various printed circuit board designmethodologies. The review resulted in a determination that three labs required minor changes (less than25%), three labs required major changes (greater that 50%) and two labs, including the RFisolation project, should be eliminated. The graduate students concluded a new project based ona superheterodyne RF receiver would fit well with the

Theseare tailored to the health care field (with relation to ABET a-k) and will mesh with programoutcomes typically in place for existing electrical engineering technology programs. In addition,techniques to offer specialized instruction and several resources to locate potential industrypartners will be identified. Examples are provided of two institutions who have successfullyexpanded their electrical engineering technology programs into this arena are explored aspotential models for successful course offerings.Introduction“Health care jobs are the result of one of the largest industries in the country

. The electrical parameters of the motor were calculated. Later, an encoderwas attached and control of the motor was coupled to the signal from the encoder.In the AC motor lab, an AC motor is planned using a coffee can and three-phase power wired tosix field coils. If properly constructed and wired, the coffee can will spin using the inducedvoltage from the three-phase coils on the face of the tin can. The rms voltage of the coils is 30VAC. In a future lab, the students may build an inverter and spin the same three-phase coffee-can motor using the same concepts as found in the original ac waveform but with variable speed.Summary:The “Motors” course needed to be changed but the manner in which the change came about wasnot expected.

implemented in summer 2015 and went smoothly as planned. Fifty students wereenrolled in the class. During the deployment, the instructor kept checking the “ModuleFeedback” in the PLE and responded to students’ comments and questions, posted homeworkand exam solutions after passing the due dates. Students also used emails or phone calls for theirquestions in homework problems, lab reports, and exams. The university used ProctorU10, anonline proctoring company, to proctor midterm and final exams. When problems occurred duringthe exams, the proctor immediately called to the instructor for immediate solutions. However,because of the three-hour time difference between Pacific and Eastern Time zones, some issueshad to wait until the following day.After the
