The objective of this project is to provide a new structure tothe existing course to enhance student learning of electric machines. The project involves (1) improvingthe long existing rotating machine laboratory by adding modern power electronic drives and devisingreal time data acquisition for measurement and analysis

Millennials say they dislike school but are better behaved, as the rulesbecome stricter 5,6.

design.ProblemDesigning digital circuits can be an easy, mechanical exercise, once the basics are mastered.After all, it’s just a matter of getting all the 1’s and 0’s in the right place at the right time, andeven if you guess at the answer, you have a 50% chance of being correct, right? That is thereason that automating the design process through hardware description languages and softwarethat reads those languages to configure programmable logic devices has been so successful. Onthe surface, everything is cookbook and easy. Complex systems are assembled by replicatinglots of simple circuits, a process at which digital computers excel. Circuits designed by studentsin the lab for an introductory digital circuits course fall into this category of design. Once

Beginning in the 1970’s, education researchers and educators began to identifyconceptual shortcomings in students and the propensity for students to carry with them strongly-held misconceptions describing how the world around them worked.1 Based on this perspective,Halloun and Hestenes developed the Force Concept Inventory (FCI), an instrument to measurestudents’ fundamental conceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics.2,3 The FCI led to atransformation in physics education in which a renewed focus on conceptual understandingreplaced some of the emphasis on routine problem-solving.As the positive effect of the FCI on physics education has become more widely known, ConceptInventories have emerged in many science
