Throughout the semester, students workedtogether in teams of three to four to complete laboratory activities focused on client-basedindustry scenarios that have been shown to improve student engagement (12).During the first week of class, students completed a ‘Lab Certification Worksheet’. Thecertification worksheet included the following questions:  Define agricultural engineering or biological engineering (choose according to your major) in your own words.  What is your motivation for studying AE or BE (minimum of three sentences, no wrong answers)?At the end of the

generators – inundergraduate laboratories are considerably smaller than those in industry. Transformers aretypically in the tens, or, at most, hundreds of volt-amperes and rotating machines are typicallyfractional horsepower. This means that in the lab the currents are usually in the milliampererange. Industrial test equipment is usually designed to measure in the kVA range. For example,the standard current probes on Fluke power meters are designed for 600 A. The smallest currentprobe available from Fluke that can handle both AC and DC is designed for 30 A.This paper will discuss a method to allow industrial test equipment to be used in undergraduatelabs. Our solution is to use multiple turns of wire (bobbins) in the current probes. Since

To fulfill this mission, it is essential for institutions to align theirprogram contents with those knowledge and skill sets vital to prospective employers. Moreover,the engineering technology discipline within academic institutions typically emphasizes onapplied concepts and laboratory activities so students learn about how to apply the lessonslearned in lectures upon graduation. Yet, this is where safety is often overlooked because themain purpose of these lab
