Therequired hands-on experience in Years 1-3 is gained through companion laboratory courses; thecompanion lab course is typically taught by a different instructor than the faculty member who Page 26.153.4is teaching the lecture course. In addition, projects may be assigned in lecture courses that donot have a companion lab course. In Year 4, students are required to enroll in a capstone designcourse, which is an individual rather than a team project. The laboratory courses and

Each instructor led two weekly, three hour laboratory sections of 24 students each. Asummary of the instructors’ experience and teaching load for the study is given in Table 1. Eachinstructor followed the same syllabus and led their lectures and laboratory sections in as identicalmanner as possible throughout the 10-week quarter.

Studentsinteracted with equipment and materials used in the laboratory and were able to experiencepractices as used in real laboratories, focused on two basic scientific fields, mathematics andbiology. The workshops were built in a way that allowed students to apply these basic scienceconcepts to an advanced biology or engineering application (college level), which students hadnot previously studied. The module is organized in three workshops:(1) Functions of human body cells: Students learned the

Thiscourse, titled "Introduction to Engineering Laboratory" aimed to expose students to variousengineering disciplines through hands-on experiments and collaborative projects. The ultimategoal was to foster motivation, build foundational knowledge, and help students make informeddecisions about their future career paths.The course was structured as a rotational program, with students spending three weeks in each offour engineering modules: mechanical, electrical, computer, and civil engineering.

As a masters student, I was a TA for the unit operations laboratory for 3 semesters. This allowed me to supervise a group of undergraduate students in hands-on laboratory activities. I had the experience of grading thermodynamics homework from a different TA assignment. At this point I still did not feel like I could teach so I volunteered to guest lecture for professors in their absence. I got two opportunities to do so in lecture style classes.

As a result thestudents do not put a uniform effort in learning during the course but, under pressure from theirother courses, apply themselves to the EFW course for only a short period of time just before theexams, resulting in an uneven and incomplete learning.To overcome the problems described above we are developing a conceptually novel one-semester EFW course for engineering junior undergraduate students and establishing a newundergraduate EFW laboratory. This course is a four credit-hour lecture/lab course (three credithours are for the lecture component and one credit hour for the lab component of the combinedcourse). A novel style of teaching this EFW course is based on the interactive approach –experiment – theory
