acquisition.This paper presents a framework that is applicable in the laboratory development and approach.IntroductionThe challenge of teaching freshman engineering classes has always been one of the mostinteresting aspects of engineering education in the last decade1-6. Traditionally these classeshave been the way into engineering thinking and problem solving. The problems that theengineering education community is facing is how to make these classes more interesting,expand students’ thinking process, bring in a more systems level thinking, and help studentsappreciate what is engineering all at the same time. The above challenges together with thetypical characteristics, behavior, and attitudes of the new students actually increase theimportance of the
