Experimentation and Laboratory-Oriented Studies

-AnywhereLaboratories – where students choose when they will perform their physical hardwareexperiments and where they wish to conduct these experiments. For this study students canperform all the physical experiments within their home environment using a variety of locallyavailable resources coupled with a box of sensors and controllers as part of an otherwise virtualor online course. Our idea of an online experimentation course was proposed in 2017. The initialexploration was the focus of a senior capstone project at the institution, where the idea andpotential implementations were tested.[6] The students performed a trade-space analysis ofavailable sensors, controllers and microcontrollers and selected a set that was roughly equivalentto the cost of

the University of Virginia (UVA), a hybrid model was adopted. Students were giventhe option to take the class 100% remotely, or they could attend lab in person every other week.During the second week of the semester, entire sections met online for team forming. Thoughsome attempt was made to group in-person students in the same team, several teams had a mixof in-person and remote students. The curriculum was redesigned into two-week blocks. Duringthe ‘on’ week, students collected data from an experiment they performed in person or watchedvirtually. During the ‘off’ week, they worked in teams on various activities including report peerreview workshops, a team project, and post-processing of the previous week’s experiments. Thispaper will

capstone project, where students designed an assembly, used the propertolerances, optimized their print in Cura, and then submitted their files to the course instructor orto Innovation Commons for printing. Again, the students did not print their own designs.The course was run in this format for two semesters. Feedback was gathered from the studentsvia informal surveys and Student Ratings of Teaching Effectiveness (SRTEs). The course washighly anticipated by the ME students. Two sections were offered in both the Fall 2016 andSpring 2017 semesters; and both sections filled quickly with students requesting additional seatsin the course. Student feedback was mixed. The students enjoyed the course and learned thetopics that were presented to them, but

science, novel methods for environmental re- mediation, and microelectronics including surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. In addition to teaching in the field of electrical engineering, he coordinates the senior engineering capstone program which is a multidisciplinary, two-semester course sequence with projects sponsored by industrial partners. Within this role, he focuses on industrial outreach and the teaching and assessment of professional skills. He received his Ph.D. and S.M. degrees from MIT in 2007 and 1999, respectively, and a B.S.E.E. degree from the University of Virginia in 1997.Dr. Hayrettin B.
