Further, while the authors leveraged institutionaladvantages, the methods and content should be transferable to other types of institutions.IntroductionIn our experience, engineering is often viewed as a discipline for people who “don’t want to reador write much.” This has been particularly true of a sub-set of undergraduate students who seeengineering as a career path in which they can leverage their aptitude for math and science into astable, well-paying career. In this worldview, engineers are technical experts who are recipientsof problem definitions and apply scientific and mathematical principles to solve the problems ina technically elegant and efficient manner.

Therefore, undergraduate laboratoriesrequire constant updating and development of new and innovative experiments each semester,which requires a fairly large amount of time on the instructors’ side. In addition to well-chosenexperiments, students’ data should be checked before they leave the lab to make sure that thedata is at least acceptable to complete the lab assignment.The lab experiments for this course were developed with low cost and user friendly requirementsin mind. It is important to mention the fact that since this course was newly developed, itrequired time and creativity from the instructor. The instructor did not have a reference labmanual to start with. Hence, the instructor’s experience played a role on the time
