The laboratory sections meetin a classroom located in the back of an open engineering lab (OEL) that was available tostudents from 9 am – 9 pm seven days per week. The OEL is a large open work space wherestudents are encouraged to work on their semester-long design project as well as to use it as astudy space. The OEL was open to all engineering students but was primarily used by students inthe first-year course.

, CampbellUniversity’s implementation of the LWTL first-year curriculum was ongoing during the 2016-2017 academic year, but no LWTL-style offerings in sophomore, junior, or senior years were inplace.It was decided to limit class size to 24 students for Campbell University’s LWTL courses, sothree sections of the first-year engineering course were required to accommodate all interestedstudents. This is somewhat smaller than most Louisiana Tech LWTL course sections (most ofwhich have 40 students each), but Campbell University does not plan to implement an in-classTA. An in-class TA is standard at Louisiana Tech, and removing the in-class TA lowers themaximum number of students that can reasonably be supervised using laboratory equipment persection, but allows

Traditionally, educators are using dedicatedsoftware packages to demonstrate the practical theory applications. These are efficient andsuitable to solve a large variety of engineering problems. The students learn programminglanguage and its capabilities to use them for homeworks or projects. There are such computer-based tools available for teaching electrical machines, power system analysis, power electronicsor other engineering topics. However, they are specific and confined to dedicated objectives,often lacking the interactivity, and become obsolete once the operating environment is changed5-8 . When dedicated programs are
