All 40 students meet with their instructor and teaching assistant twice a week for 110minutes each meeting in the instructional computing laboratory. A minimal amount of lecturingwas done in the beginning of the laboratory periods. Every week all students are required toproduce a laboratory report demonstrating that they have achieved a level of mastery of specifiedtopics. This comprises 60% of the course grade. All of the students used the same coursematerials that were provided on-line. The web site is http://www.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/es130

Hands-on Introduction to Chemical and Biological EngineeringSession 1526: We have revised our freshman seminar course by modeling it after RowanUniversity’s exemplary Freshman Engineering Clinic course which utilizes a hands-onlaboratory approach to introduce freshman students to engineering. Innovative laboratorymodules developed and published by faculty at Rowan under NSF funding were adaptedand implemented. These laboratories utilize common activities (such as brewing coffee,taking blood pressure, and delivery of medication) to teach fundamental engineeringprinciples, techniques for experimental measurement, data representation and analysis,and group problem solving and communication skills. Many of these laboratories aredesigned

[5] Our challenge and need is to teach these students how to thinkand solve problems in terms of digital logic as it functions within and with computer systems. We were notanxious to teach basic electronics nor to have students have to worry about correct power supply wiring,accidentally wiring output-to-output, input-to-input, or otherwise causing electrical short circuits that maydamage valuable laboratory equipment or even damage inexpensive integrated circuits which take valuablelaboratory time to trouble shoot and replace.Interdisci~linarv Work When the second author joined the

Students in a mechanics course undertook a laboratory intended to teach how to derive amaterial’s yield strength. The students were given a combined torsion and bending apparatus andasked to derive equations for torque and moment. After graphing how these variables changedwith the deflection of the experimental apparatus, students measured the deflection of a sampleunder varying loading conditions. They then were

Likewise, the costsfor faculty and teaching assistants are far greater per lab credit hour than for lecture.However, learning by doing is imperative for all engineering students. Just as I wouldnever consider a surgeon competent without any hands-on experience, I believe that allengineers must have experience in the real-world skills to implement their designs. Formany of our students, laboratory and capstone projects are where the book learningbecomes active knowledge by understanding how to make use of their education.The traditional engineering laboratory requires students to meet three hours a week in aroom.

Providing Distance Education courses witha remote laboratory network presents challenges to providing adequate isolation. The useof IP-KVM switches adds a very strong layer of isolation, and in combination with theuse of emulation software such as VMWare or other virtual operating systemenvironment, provides an adequately isolated laboratory network for some exercises.References[1] Frincke, D., “Who watches the security educators?”, Security & Privacy Magazine, IEEE Volume 1, Issue 3, May-June 2003 Page(s):56 – 58[2] Eppes, T. & Schuyler, P., “A General-Purpose Distance Lab System

The use of an activelearning approach has proved to be successful in enhancing the ability of students to master thefundamental topics of structural analysis. The development of active learning environmentsshould be considered for other engineering courses where students have difficulty withfundamental concepts or where the ability to visualize physical behaviors is essential inunderstanding and mastering the course material.OverviewWe present in this paper laboratory and computer

Our experience showsthat the role of the instructor should focus on an explanation of the general safety guidelines forthemselves as well for the instruments, emphasizing that it is acceptable to make an errorprovided this is not intentional. We believe that in this more relaxed atmosphere, thestudentslearn better. Furthermore, as they progress in college, they tend to remember and focuson their experiences in the first laboratory experiments that they participated in (Richards et al.,1997).2) To teach the students how to do basic measurements.

With the closure of the Schools /Universities, the educational process has been radically transformed from one day to the next.STEM education is based on collaborative work, inquiry, experimentation, problem-solving, andproject generation. This type of education encounters many obstacles in the present situation:students do not have access to laboratories, materials, and other essential supplies to implementan educational process of quality.The Institution has developed alternative ways to promote quality STEM education for
