Theindividual components are stored in an engineering laboratory and students need access to thelaboratory to use measurement equipment. This newly introduced course is an alternate that fullyaddresses the ABET requirements for engineering experimentation, but gives the student a greatdeal of freedom. It is designed to be offered online, with modular laboratory equipment that canbe disassembled, reassembled and is cost-effective, and portable.

Switching Regulator OperationIntroductionAt the University of Virginia, we have experienced increased student interest in alternate andrenewable energy topics in Electrical and Computer Engineering over the past five years. Thishas presented a challenge, as we currently only offer a single "Electromagnetic EnergyConversion" course, which is in a lecture format with a required associated laboratory section.To address this challenge, we have been systematically phasing out older topics, i.e., D.C.motors, and adding course content relevant to photovoltaics and wind energy production, i.e.,microgrids [1]. This has necessitated a redesign of some of our laboratory experiences andrequired us to reconsider the most efficient way to transmit a breadth of

One ofthose important knowledge practices is scientific documentation or keeping a lab notebook. Labnotebooks perform a number of key functions. They at once provide a record of a scientist’s orengineer’s work, serve as an important reference for other scientific genres, e.g., future reportsand/or articles, and perform as a kind of journal that enables questioning presuppositions,considering new approaches, and generating new ideas.Given the importance of notebooks, there is surprisingly little scholarship on how to teach theiruse.
