addition to traditional exams and quizzes, students were requested to document learning experiences in a student portfolio. C. Integration of Class & Laboratory Dr. José R. López chose to integrate the Physics for Engineers course lecture and laboratory sessions using a constructivist approach to promote active learning. The goal was to put the student at the center of the teaching- learning process7. Originally, the traditional course consisted of four one-hour lecture sessions and a separate two-hour laboratory, for a total of six contact hours each

Digital Systems course an EDUCOMP (EDUcational COMPuter) trainer was used to teach the interrelationship between computer hardware and software. This trainer was designed and built in-house in the mid 1970s. The trainer had served long and well; however, its memory was restricted to 16 address locations which limited instructional opportunities and reduced cadet motivation.• In the EE281 Introductory Digital Systems course a circuit simulator such as Micro Sim’s Evaluation PSPICE was used to simulate student laboratory project designs prior to implementation. This is an important step in the design, simulate, build, and test process. Precious classroom time was being used to teach the fundamentals of the PSPICE simulation

None ofthem catered to Internet accessible remote laboratories. With this scenario, an LMS has beendeveloped to support remote laboratory delivery. Along with the standard features, the newlydeveloped LMS allows management of the laboratory experiments, performance of experimentsby the students, access control, experiment time allocation, a queue for experiment performance,weekly surveys, and tracking of facility usage.6.

As a team ofinstructors who teach the Engineering Electromagnetics (EEMAG) I and II sequence, we weremotivated by a desire to create a set of courses, that require students to do real and relevantengineering electromagnetics – and utilize these skills effectively in later courses and clinicprojects. It is difficult to tackle all topics in a 7-week period so care must be taken to emphasizekey topics and strengthen understanding through real-world laboratory exercises. We present someexamples of a successful implementation of these objectives in this paper. We discuss numerousreal-world applications that are studied during our single semester sequence

This hypothesis was tested in a controlled experiment at Harvey-MuddCollege, a small, STEM-focused liberal arts college. The introductory engineering course at thecollege teaches discipline-agnostic, mathematical modeling of engineering systems using aflipped classroom with tightly coupled laboratory sessions. Approximately half of the studentsin the laboratory sections received treatment lab manuals with many interactive questions, whilethe other half received control lab manuals that contained fewer questions.

The perspective of the FAS is “first person” like many modern FirstPerson Shooter games as Call of Duty 3. The interaction with the student is performed bypointing an object and make click on it, it's connected to a MySQL database in order to log eachstudent activity, which can be used to assess the materials chosen by the students for laboratorywork.

This is also where the “learn by doing” comes to fruition similar to the old medicalexpression of: “see one, do one, teach one”.One condition on enrollment of the design laboratory courses is that the student cannot take twoof the above three courses from the same instructor. By limiting the number of students tosixteen and exposing the students to different instructors, who themselves have differentbackgrounds in the structural engineering consulting profession, the students get accustomed toworking close to their supervisors on a one to one basis.

Conversely, if done poorly, students begintheir engineering education unprepared, either in conceptual/technical knowledge, problemsolving skills, or both.Throughout its long history, physics has been taught in nearly the same manner – via lectures,often supplemented by a laboratory experience.
