interfacing design. These five experiments were carriedout by three groups of students in the fall of 2005, 2006 and 2007. At the end of fall 2007, asurvey was conducted among the students to assess these five experiments. The assessmentresults are presented in this paper.Introduction“Microprocessor Systems and Interfacing” is a core subject in both Electrical and ComputerEngineering curricula. Since there is large variety of microprocessors, an engineering programhas to pick the ones that benefit students the most in their future career. With the rapid changesin microprocessor technology, laboratory courses associated with this topic have to becontinuously kept up-to-date.

ofthermal distortion in molds and cores. A concept prototype has already been developed and usedfor initial testing. The thermal properties for various chemically bond sands have beeninvestigated. The sand-binder mixtures selected for this study demonstrate the capability of thedeveloped tester to deal with diverse combinations. The distinctive results obtained confirm thatthe tester is a valuable tool that can aid the foundry engineer in predicting the behavior of coreand mold material in thermo-mechanical applications, thus helping in dimensional control. It isour belief that this collaboration has been a successful one based on the interest in the prototypeTDT shown by foundry practitioners and binder manufacturers.IntroductionBecause of the

financial need during the finaltwo years of their studies in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math. The program involvesfrequent mentoring by faculty, engaging students in faculty scholarly activities, and scholarshipsupport. These elements combine to reduce the likelihood that students will decrease theircourse loads, work too many jobs, or even “step out” to earn sufficient funds to finish theireducation. The results of this program have been remarkable, with nearly 100% of these “atrisk” students finishing their degrees in a timely manner.

advantage of virtual mode is the flexibility for both the students and theinstructor.The possible drawback of virtual lab is: less or very few communications between the studentsand the instructor. Another possible drawback is the uneven workload among the students in thesame bench; it seems that in many benches, one student did most of the demos.To benefit more students and people, enhancing virtual labs to a lab courseware is some possiblealternative to consider.AcknowledgementThe authors gratefully acknowledge the financial and technology support of the University,College of Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Center for theAdvancement of Faculty Excellence, which allows the students to perform lab experiments

When the author taught this course using a traditional lecture approach, it was noticed thatstudents were very focused on memorizing materials science information.

better their understanding of the concepts instead of justlearning enough to get the correct solution.IntroductionThe use of technology in the classroom has reduced the work load for instructors and offers thepotential for improved learning, but many time the use of technology alone fails to grasp the at-tention or interest of the students enrolled. Interactive demonstrations, whether computer-based orhands-on, have been shown to enhance comprehension especially when dealing with higher levelconcepts often encountered in science and engineering courses [1–5]. Though hands-on activitiesare likely more effective for student learning, in class demonstrations of simulation tools related to
