The results for the fluids and heattransfer laboratories showed that there was no significant difference in the learning of thestudents. Student perception of the remote lab experiences depended on the smooth running ofthe experiments. The pilot study suggests that some laboratory experiences can be successfullyported to a remote or online mode without sacrificing the student learning experience.IntroductionThe Mechanical Engineering (ME) program is the most popular major at Iowa State Universitywith a current enrollment of approximately 1800 students and about 240 BSMEs being awardedevery year.

The assessment tools comprised prelab homework, exams, an experimental design project,written reports, oral presentations and team/peer evaluation. The senior capstone design course,taken in addition to ME Lab, accounted for another seven outcomes. It was decided by thefaculty that one or two courses are not sufficient to demonstrate the necessary assessment of theprogram outcomes. There were several outcomes, though, which made more sense to beassessed by a laboratory course. For instance, all accredited engineering programs must have acomponent of experimental design in their curriculum. ABET Criterion 3b states “Engineering

One study surveyed the facultyand students in a large mechanical engineering department to seek their perspectives on theethics and the educational values of employing solution manuals in solving textbook homeworkassignments. Many instructors had ethical concerns regarding the students’ use of solutionmanuals, while many students did not consider the use of solution manuals as scholasticdishonesty [1].

This formulation of dynamics is typically reserved for courses in which it canbe derived, which students encounter in their senior years at the earliest. However, while diffi-cult to derive, Lagrange’s equations are easy to use for conservative systems, even for sophomorestudents. They perform the functions of uniting energy methods with Newton’s second law andintroduce students to the concept of equations of motion that will be used consistently in juniordynamic systems.

Adjuncts often have little authority to improve the laboratory/class they teach andmay not be included in curriculum decisions.

The Wright Brothers recognized that by blowing air past a modelof their aircraft in a device that could mimic conditions favorable to flight, they could ultimatelydeliver the answer sought after by man for millennia, the ability to fly. The Wright Brothersprevailed, and the history of the wind tunnel as an integral component to aerodynamic researchwas documented.What the Wright Brothers failed to recognize, was that the complexity of flight and those tomimic the conditions in a device are
