The concept for this approach was based on thenotion that technical information and new knowledge acquisition can be achieved in bothformal and informal modes [ 3] . Formal learning experiences occur in lectures delivered by theinstructor while informal learning is obtained through the self-directed and team-basedprojects with appropriate instruction. Professional skills including communication skills,teamwork skills and lifelong learning skills were integrated with up-to-date technical skillsdevelopment in laboratory-rich and hands-on projects.The course

The required heating temperature for vinyl plastisol is 400 ᵒF so the oven should beable to reach a temperature of at least 450 ᵒF. The vinyl plastisol can be dyed to different colorsby adding colorant if desired.The hot dip process must be completed in a well-ventilated area.

These observations haveprovided useful guidance regarding how the exercise should be structured, and also places in theclassroom component of the course where more thorough instruction is needed in areas likeproblem solving techniques. A few key observations are as follows: 1. The students appear to become well engaged in the tasks related to taking measurements in the laboratory. They tend to show enthusiasm for distributing tasks among the team members and in coming up with plans for how they will execute the measurements. They appear to enjoy the data

We have included Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) as thefundamental component of the laboratory experience. This change was necessary to introducestudents to the practices of modern industry that utilizes FPGA for digital design.Programmable Logic Devices are cost-effective and give hardware designers the flexibility of anASIC with very short turnaround time. PLDs give the designer the ability to make changes easilyduring the development phase through simple changes in the program without making expensive,time-consuming changes to hardware and wiring connections. Finally, PLDs are easy to workwith as compared to Fixed Function Logic, where

This worked well inthe classroom. However, such a device is far too expensive and far too delicate to withstand theabuse one encounters in the field. When this project began, there was little available in the wayof equipment designed specifically for the proper collection of data in the field for the purpose athand. One consideration was the use of a hand-held oscilloscope. However, the cost

These meetings consisted of knowledge anddocumentation exchange, where the Chemical Engineering researchers would describe theirgoals and provide the EET group with documentation and other equipment specifications.These meetings also provided a forum for exchanging contact information and specifics re-garding laboratory location, access and safety. These aspects cannot be over-emphasizeddue to basic unfamiliarity across disciplines. For example, EET students are much lessaccustomed to chemical laboratories while Chemical Engineers are less familiar with theramifications of issues such as insufficient or improper grounding techniques.

If EET programs continue to place theoretical focus on thecomponents, one loses the big picture of the systems that they are part of. Today, electroniccomponents are arranged into basic building blocks and connected together to create morecomplex systems that eventually are marketed as products. These electronics systems areeventually headed towards architectures of digital cores and/or processing centers surrounded byinterface circuitry (i.e. ADC and DAC, voltage and power level converters and drivers, etc). Thisbeing the case, the product’s system functionality is what needs to be emphasized. A basic

Infrastructure and competenttechnical staff to install, support and maintain the tool is mandatory if it is to be used in aclassroom laboratory environment. If the selected tool requires a new set of hardware andoperating system (OS), the cost could become prohibitive. It is even more difficult if a differentOS is used by different units within an educational system and the goal is to have all units usethe selected tool. Table 3 shows the system
