Effective teaching of this course requires the development of appropriatelaboratory experiments to show students how to practically implement the theories covered in theclassroom.There were no standard laboratory experiments for the course prior to 2010 when the first authorjoined the Department. Based on industry and prior teaching experience, he developed, eight laboratoryexperiments for the course. The labs together with the class notes developed for the course were sent tosenior faculty from within and outside IPFW for review. The feedbacks was very positive and encouraging.This paper highlights the laboratory experiments developed for

theresistance of resistors, the current in a closed electrical circuit, the voltage drop across resistors,light emitting diodes (LEDs), and batteries. Using a signal generator and an oscilloscope,students learned the difference between dc and ac voltage signals. Ohm’s law was also coveredin this module. An attempt was made to determine the speed of sound with the signal generator,oscilloscope, a loudspeaker, a microphone, and a meter ruler. In addition to using DMM tomeasure the resistance of resistors, the students learned how to use color codes to determine thevalue of the resistance of resistors. Figure 4 shows an example of the color code used for thisexercise. Figure 5 shows an example of schematic electrical diagrams that students worked on.This

In the MET session they discussed requirements for mounting the solar cellarrays and investigated strength and elasticity parameters for support beams. The IT session wasa lively activity to demonstrate the benefits of lean manufacturing processes using nuts, bolts,and washers. The Careers session was similar to the one from 2010, and the Campus Lifesession was described above.We notified the local media the day before the conference, but only one affiliate came for the2011 conference. We thought a day would be sufficient notice because of today’s rapid newscycle. In retrospect, perhaps we should have notified them a few days in advance.Feedback and Lessons
