This will become ever truer in the future as more and more design is done offshore andoutsourced to countries such as India and China. Consequently, it will become even more important forfuture engineering graduates to be familiar with testing and experimental procedures.

In an effort to address the conceptual gap in electrical engineering learning within theframework of the resource limitations described above, Arkansas Tech University set out toinstitute a laboratory education method more closely integrated with the classroom lectures.Several requirements were developed for implementation of the new program.Lab exercises would be coupled with the university’s existing Electrical Circuits 1 course andwould consist of simple and focused experiments designed to reinforce the current classroomtheoretical concepts.

most effective when conducted with hands-on applications and real-life projects.To optimize the students’ understanding of fluid power systems, they need to interact with individualcomponents and systems made by these components, ideally during their operation. However, this effectiveand widely implemented approach is limited in execution because of safety concerns, budgets, the numberof participants, visibility, and available space. In addition, physical testing environments must be properlyinstrumented to showcase system changes and operations, which can be costly and time-intensive. Thiswork showcases a solution to these challenges by introducing a fully immersive and interactive MixedReality (MR)/Virtual Reality (VR) laboratory for gear

Astin [16] noted that institution type does not have a strong influence on theeffectiveness of undergraduate education, but that the environment created by faculty andstudents plays a stronger role.The purpose of this study is to examine several educational factors (i.e., institution type, classsize, class meeting time, class length and format, laboratory format, and faculty attributes) thatmay correlate with the amount of knowledge gained in the conceptual understanding ofgeotechnical engineering topics.

Meaningful and consequential learningOur focus of curriculum reform has been towards shifting activity to meaningful, consequentiallearning in activity-based studio and laboratory courses to better prepare students to connect theknowledge they are learning in school to the messy, open-ended work they will encounter aspracticing engineers (NAE, 2020). Meaningful, consequential learning centers on work thatpositions students on teams in the role of engineers where they need to identify core foundationalprinciples as conceptual tools to progress (Johri & Olds, 2011).

EE40LX revolved aroundconstructing a robot, emphasizing hands-on circuit building over circuit analysis to keep thecourse broadly accessible. With over 80 thousand students from over 190 nations enrolled acrossone year, this course is the largest and most distributed open analog circuits laboratory of itskind. Its sheer scale necessitated careful design of the robot project and a robust rubric for peergrading. This paper presents a detailed description of the course and its instructional design.

pedagogy of teaching chemical reaction engineering is continually advancing through theuse of new computational tools such as POLYMATH and MATLAB; interactive computer ap-plications; and a new emphasis in textbooks on relating theory to industrially relevant chemicalreactions. What is currently lacking in this area are chemical reaction engineering experimentsthat employ realistic reaction engineering systems. Nearly all of the reaction engineering ex-periments, reported in the literature, employ simple experiments that can be described using asingle overall reaction. In addition most laboratory experiments do not examine the process fluidmechanics of the reactor and how this effects the product distribution. As a result, students onlyvisualize

There would be more opportunities for cohort-based collaborationsin tutorial and laboratory sections, as opposed to during lectures.
