1 devised a clever way to involve freshman engineering students in designthrough the design/redesign of paper clips. Using minimal resources and with minimalprerequisites, students were exposed to the compromises involved in the design of a real product 1 .In another example, Latcha and Oakley 2 describe a Capstone course where students design andconstruct toys or games. This course exposes students to the severe economic constraints oneffective toys and gives them the opportunity to have their designs presented to industry.Both of these project examples involve teaching practices that are recognized throughout thegreater community of educators as high-impact practices 3 . Design project work, especially withconstruction, requires that

In theend, a total of 28 out of 39 surveys were successfully received.The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire given to the students to complete. Thequestionnaire was carefully crafted so that only important questions regarding lab environment,simulation tools, and designed labs, were included. The first part of the questionnaire dealt withthe lab environment. The second section concerned with Packet Tracer. The last section focusedon Riverbed Modeler. The types of questions included in the survey were Likert-scale and open-ended questions.Figure 1 showed the survey result of lab environment, which revealed that a large majority ofrespondents expressed a

Afterwards, the Collaborative Virtual Computer Laboratorywas introduced, and the students were shown how to log onto their individual accounts and accessto their Windows 7 and Backtrack virtual machines. In addition, the participants were introducedto the command prompt and basic networking commands.

In addition,the tent light would also function as a GPS receiver/Cell transmitter sending location coordinatesto a phone or web-site at the Customer’s home. Other constraints, such as weight, dimensions,and water resistance were defined, but the Customer did not indicate or suggest how to achievethe required product performance – those decisions were left entirely to the student Team.

due to the lack of hands-on activities [1]. One of the reasonsbehind this waning of interest is the missing connection between theory and applications. Withoutestablishing this link, EMF courses fail to attract and engage engineering students.Teaching EMF requires special care and attention from the instructor. Traditional EMF class tendsto concentrate on abstract theory and numerical analysis. A lecture based engineering coursefocusing on legacy materials is not an effective style of learning since engineering students areadopted to hands-on activities and learn better from course related activities and sensoryinformation [2] [3].

The benefits of thisapproach include no initial hardware setup, high reliability, and reduced cost. Heroku3, a cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) provider, was selected for the ABRS project. Heroku providesseveral advantages over other providers such as Amazon Web Server (AWS). Heroku is easy touse and provides a streamlined mechanism for deployment. Heroku also offers a free tier that iswell-suited for this project. One limitation of Heroku’s free tier is that the ABRS web applicationcan only run 18 out of every 24 hours.
