11.1213.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Teaching Labs: The Challenges and Practical Considerations for New FacultyIntroductionIt is very common for untenured engineering faculty to be assigned the responsibility forteaching and managing a teaching laboratory in their program. At undergraduate institutions thisis due to the relatively low numbers of faculty in departments, the faculty replacement process,and the desire for the program to update their laboratories. Similar reasons exist atgraduate/research intuitions, but, in addition, we might add the unwillingness of senior faculty tocarry out this task as a reason for the assignment of a new faculty member to this task.

Subject-based learning is much more amenable to achieving subject-based course objectives while it can be difficult to achieve professional objectives such as teamwork and communication that are required by ABET 2000. • Cookbook laboratories: The traditional laboratory format, the organizing principle for a cookbook lab is set of clearly defined steps that closely guide the student through an experimental procedure.

These various techniques include think-share, think-pair-share, observe and comment,group discussion, and the flipped classroom. Active learning has been shown to be more effectivethan passive learning within a traditional lecture setting. In my courses, these methods have shownincreased student understanding of the differences between mathematical models and physicalrealizations of systems.

Ourqualitative data (interviews and focus groups) then explain how the most influential communitieswork for students.

The possibilities are many. Letme list a few. • Help set up a lab experiment, or a simulation environment. Lai and Sullivan3 had independent-study students set up lab experiments in a polymer-processing laboratory, and provide feedback to improve the experimental procedures. • Run a set of benchmarks on a simulator, and tabulate and analyze the results. • Do a literature search in an area that you are interested in moving into; ideally, this could lead to a publishable survey paper. • Write code for a program being used in
