A comparison of students' performance under the traditional face-to-face learning mode and the new distance learning mode is conducted. Based on assessment results, we will evaluate the effectiveness of our current teaching methodology/plan developed

The paperrelates not only the professor’s view of the experience but a student view as well.IntroductionNew paradigms are required for undergraduate teaching in Engineering and EngineeringTechnology that are “student centered” [1]. In forming these new directions within the laboratoryexperience, we need to rethink traditional methods to become more flexible and challenging tothe individual student. Accomplishing this requires a new method of delivery that is differentfrom the traditional laboratory instruction [2, 3, 9 and 10]. Allowing the student to use higher orderleaning including problem development, experimental planning and most importantimplementation all though the use of active learning

This study is based on the development and implementation of these threemodels on Electrical Machinery course offering. The traditional way of teaching of Electricalmachinery course for EET and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) majors has beenconducted for years and therefore provides us with significant statistics on students'comprehension of the subject. The goal of a blended approach is to join the best aspects of bothface-to-face and online instruction: classroom time can be used to engage students in advancedlearning experiences

To deliver hands-on experience to the online teaching, with a quality equivalent to whatstudents can get from the face-to-face laboratory environment, has been an eminent requirementfor further expanding our DE program.A number of studies on remote computer networking and technology laboratory have been donein recent years.

Students didn’t have any numerical computing experience at the start of thecourse. Moreover, it has been observed that simulation results provide a set of known-good,expected results, which makes debugging analog circuitry much easier.ConclusionsAfter several years of teaching communications courses with a simulation component, we havedeveloped a list of common pitfalls that students face, as well as exercises designed to helpstudents avoid them and learn in the most efficient manner. We have presented a summary ofthese observations in this paper. We believe that simulation will continue to play an increasinglyimportant

A laboratory setup is developed to test performance of the hydraulicsystem components. Experimental analysis of component behavior of a functional prototype of thehydraulic system is performed. The analysis result is used to select components for optimumperformance of the system in its desired operational conditions. The methodology can be utilizedin design of similar systems where energy efficiency is a primary design objective.1.

A major concern of the faculty in the Penn State Behrend METprogram was based on the first line of the official EEAAP document that indicated it was alegally binding document. Faculty were hesitant to simply create a bare-bones document thatcould be misinterpreted later, or to create a plan that was not actually feasible to implement if theoccasion occurred that a visually impaired or blind person chose to major in MET on theBehrend campus. Therefore, it was almost entirely up to the MET faculty
