Concept of virtual laboratory isalso introduced here and provides addition flexibility in the class’s offering strategies. Due to therapid changes in the technological world, faculty involved in teaching the proposed courses mustbe informed of advances in technology currently used in the industry. On the other hand,industry wants to have qualified and well-educated employees who are ready to implement theirknowledge on day one of their employment. As a result, the initiative of power engineeringcurriculum development described in this paper is industry-driven.IntroductionMany electrical engineering technology programs have already started

Inthe late 19th century, however, engineering educators in the U.S. and elsewhere werecompelled to justify to university administrators the additional equipment cost, upkeepand personnel necessary for the laboratories themselves and justify the greater good inthe relatively inefficient student-teacher ratios such instruction necessitated.4Robert H. Thurston and Laboratory InstructionThe father of instructional laboratories for engineering students was Robert H.

For the Gippsland campus educators, an approach such asthis has taken sometime to develop, particularly for those who have limited pedagogicalknowledge and also equate in depth content knowledge with effective teaching practices. Forfirst year undergraduates, there was a need to reconsider how students personalise and internaliseinformation presented in lectures, tutorials and laboratories.

-roundedindividuals while also pursuing deep technical knowledge in their engineering education. Inaddition to this challenge, undergraduate-focused schools require faculty members or adjunctinstructors to teach laboratory courses, due to a lack of graduate students, which limits theavailability of such courses. One possible solution to this issue is to institute a mixed learninglaboratory approach, in which eight lecture periods throughout the semester are replaced with in-class studio laboratory exercises and larger take-home lab projects are assigned to encouragestudents to refine skills by applying skills learned through in class lab assignments4. 1

A key component to support teaching thesetopics is laboratory modules that involve the design, assembly, and testing of hydraulic andpneumatic systems. They allow students to apply counterintuitive concepts from lectures in atangible context that fosters the learning experience [4]. Nevertheless, traditional laboratoryexercises in fluid power courses are insufficient in addressing the complexity of hydraulic andpneumatic systems, resulting in relatively high withdrawals and D/F grades [5]. Thus, there is aneed to incorporate innovative technologies and methods.Previous efforts to address these challenges included the
