describe the ten stages of a lab lifecycle in detail. 1. Need. Most of the labs start with a need to prove a theoretical concept using experiments or to design a process or product using modern engineering tools. Here, the later is emphasized. Often, a demonstration of a novel instrument or device is observed. Also, the current laboratory experiences are assessed and found to be inadequate or incompatible with respect to the current technology. 2. Conception. In this stage, mostly, replacement of the old lab’s instrumentation/equipment with the state-of-the-art versions is sought; preliminary evaluations of new instrumentation/equipment capabilities are performed, and some possible new lab ideas are explored

With the advance of virtual reality (VR) technologies in terms of bothsoftware and hardware, there is a need to advance the education with adopting advanced VRtechnologies. In this project, we present our latest results of developing new VR modules in AMcurriculum. Specifically, the developed VR modules for fusion deposition modeling and fatiguetesting will be presented. In the on-going research, students will be required to use the VR modulesin comparison with the physical lab experiments. The focus will be understanding the effectivenessof VR technology on engineering curriculum.1.

environments, various computer technologies are applied including Zoom meetings (especially breakout rooms and meeting recordings), pencasts, online tutorials, discussion boards, etc. Two laboratory design problems dealing with digital logic designs and interfacing of analog sensors are briefly described. In the online lab, students from two different engineering programs (mechatronics engineering and industrial engineering) were paired together using Zoom’s breakout rooms thus engaging in PL. Also, each student was issued a kit of parts necessary for the physical implementation of the lab designs off campus. Student pairs that finished their labs early were required to help other pairs. The instructor would combine pairs using Zoom’s breakout rooms

We recently merged a few capstone design teams with the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) student competitions. The outcome and benefit of the change are clear. The students are more motivatedand willing to adopt new technologies in their project courses. Through competitions, students learned how tocomplete the project in the context of system. The paper describes the technical details that the
classroom has to offer [4,5]. Whilethere are many fields of study that might lend themselves well to an online modality, Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) faculty in particular have faced the challengeof demonstrating the physical principles of science and engineering virtually [6-8]. The suddenreplacement of experimentation in a physical laboratory with a virtual experience has caused manyfaculty members to rethink their pedagogical approaches to laboratory technique, data analysis,and instrumentation procedures. This has required modification to the traditional, “hands-on”teaching many laboratory instructors implement with their students, to a more self-guidedapproach to learning [9,10].

An Improved Design for a Viscometer Apparatus Joseph Derrick, Michael Golub, Jing Zhang Mechanical & Energy Engineering Department Purdue School of Engineering & Technology Indiana University – Purdue University – IndianapolisAbstractA new viscometer was created to provide a cost-effective way for students to accurately and toprecisely determine the viscosity of different fluids. The challenge of designing a viscometer isproviding enough distance between tube wall and for vertical tube length. This is because theinfluence of these two parameters have on the sphere as it falls through the fluid. The cylinder wallaffects the fall velocity of the
