Internet.IntroductionToday, educational institutions are increasing their use of the computer basedtechnology in the teaching environments1. There are various ways how to use thistechnology, but basically the computer-mediated learning can be used as single teachingmedium or it can be used in combination with traditional classroom experience2. Onlineclasses have advantages and disadvantages3 .This is actually means that there is not auniversal approach how to use the internet for education, especially for courses withlaboratories. There are still discussions how to utilize the distance education toundergraduates when the laboratories are involved4. Meanwhile some universities areusing the lab-based courses on the internate5,6,7,8. There is an indication of

These documents are sometimes inconvenient when used as a teaching textbook, butthe solution carries an added benefit that the students are well trained in using technical manualsand sorting their way through datasheets after having gone through the curriculum. In someinstances supplemental material must be provided as a datasheet does not give attention to allissues. One such issue is that of EOAT selection. If an angular finger gripper is required whatforce must be used to maintain hold on the payload? If a vacuum cup is required, how muchvacuum is required? Another issue is communication networks.

Laboratory Experiences That Do Not Stifle CreativityLaboratory courses often supplement basic science classes in high school and college. Thehands-on activities provided in laboratories can challenge and excite students in a ways notachievable through traditional lecture-style teaching. Working in laboratories gives studentsopportunities to explore scientific concepts while applying knowledge gained classrooms.

In mostof the mechanical and manufacturing engineering technology courses, hands-on labs aredesigned to help student to acquire the knowledge and skills taught in the class.

Reversing Table 7- Summary of the Student Lab SurveyConclusionsIn this paper, we described our experience teaching a multidisciplinary course in an EngineeringTechnology program. We described how the redesign of the laboratory component has greatlyenhanced the student learning experience independently of their majors of studies. It wasobserved that activities relating concepts to real world applications were most appealing. Forinstance, students enjoyed performing experiments involving the use of transducers.Assessments results including direct and indirect measurements to meet certain accreditationcriteria were also discussed in this paper. Several lessons learned from this course revisionprocess for in future

Second, the review of circuit analysis techniques scheduled for thebeginning of the second course took much longer than anticipated since there was a substantialamount of material to review. Student feedback also indicated a need for more problem solvingexamples and experience before they were ready to apply the circuit analysis techniques taughtin the first course to the more complex topics introduced in the follow-on course. Third, thearrangement for laboratories became an issue: the students did the DC experiments, but did notfinish all of the AC experiments in the first course

The students that took thecourse either belong to the mechanical engineering technology or power engineering program. Itwas a required course for the students in the power engineering technology program, but just atechnical elective for the ones in the mechanical engineering technology program.There are several lessons that were learned after teaching the course once. Firstly, the instructorneeds to make sure all registered students have the proper prerequisites to be able to take thecourse.
