The purpose of this paper is to discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and applications ofsome innovative technologies in the classroom. I have chosen to concentrate on one suchtechnology in this paper. This technology is the use of computer based laboratory experiments inlieu of or to supplement hands-on laboratory experiments. I will focus on computer based labexperiments. The driving force behind this technology is to speed up student progress onlaboratory experiments and make the learning experience in the lab more efficient. I choose theelectrical field to concentrate my discussion because my background is in electronics and I havesignificant experience teaching electrical courses with accompanying labs.

Concluding RemarksThe combination of lecture topics and laboratory exercises proved to be useful while teaching thecourse. The course was taught for the first time in the Fall of 2009. The students that took thecourse either belong to the mechanical engineering technology or power engineering program. Itwas a required course for the students in the power engineering technology program, but just atechnical elective for the ones in the mechanical engineering technology program.There are several lessons that were learned after teaching the course once. Firstly, the instructorneeds to make sure all registered students have the proper prerequisites to be able to take thecourse. Secondly, the professor should spend some time with the students reviewing

Some of the student comments frommy first-time teaching were, “the course being fast pace,” “difficult to understand” and “toomuch math and very few labs.” They also mentioned that they were constantly being rushed tofinish the lab experiment on time.

reinforce their knowledge byrelating theory to real-world applications. Physical experiments are effective means to deepenstudents’ understanding of the underlying theory. However, access to these elements, especiallyphysical experiments, are not always available due to limitations in equipment, room capacity,scheduling, facility accessibility, laboratory time, and safety considerations. In addition, thelecture and the laboratory section are often ill-connected as they are taught by differentinstructors, making it difficult to keep the quality of teaching consistent among sections and toclosely relate lecture and laboratory materials. Moreover, students often are not given instantfeedback on their performance due to the traditional laboratory
