., should be made available.Coincidentally, a system of community colleges exists in the country that typically provides allstudents services and teaches most supporting classes needed by engineering degrees. Many ofthese community colleges have laboratories used both for vocational and pre-engineeringprograms. These laboratories tend to be well equipped and grossly underutilized [1]. A logicalconclusion, then, suggests itself: The resources available through the community college systemmust be coupled with those of four-year programs to offer engineering programs. The solutionhas three main advantages. First, universities offering 4-year engineering programs can reach astudent population previously outside of their geographical scope without

The Multiple-Lab-Driven Pedagogy with TCK IntegratedThere have been plenty of studies performed on lab-based curriculum. For instance, Abbas andLeseman [5] developed a laboratory-based curriculum on the theory, fabrication, andcharacterization of microelectromechanical systems, in which course assessment data is input bystudents from three semesters, based on which the effectiveness of the laboratory project isevaluated. Alexander and Smelser [6] proposed a distance laboratory teaching method thatcombined multi-media computer experiments, portable hands-on exercises, and place-boundlaboratory experiments.

package thatallows data collection and control systems to be constructed very quickly for industrial applica-tions. Unfortunately the high cost of the system (> $2000) made it unsuitable for laboratory envi-ronments where students commonly damage the DAQ boards. Moreover, the software hides manyof the implementation details which is very convenient for professionals, but makes it very diffi-cult to teach the fundamentals. Based upon these observations the use of LabVIEW was reduced(not eliminated).In 2003 we began to use Axiom development boards5 based upon the Motorola 68HC11. Theseboards have a price of $89 and allowed students to program systems in C. This shift was very suc-cessful and allowed students to implement control systems that

In doing the analysis, a student must compare the obtained results with thetheoretical predictions and with characteristics given in the manufacturer’s data sheet. Allmanufacturers’ data sheets that are necessary for the laboratory work are appended to ourlaboratory manual3. The analysis must also include a discussion of any discrepancies among theorypredictions, the manufacturer’s data, and the results of the actual measurements.References: 1. Djafar K.

Each ofthese units consists of topics designed to show how fundamental concepts in chemistry can beapplied to engineering problems. For example, liquid crystal display technology is used to teachthe concept of molecular shape. The course also contains a laboratory section.

Such courses can benefitgreatly by applying a variety of teaching styles to help a wider range of students who havedifferent learning styles. In particular, DSP courses can be made less abstract by employinghomework exercises and classroom demonstrations that employ multimedia technologies. Thispaper describes a number of audio signal processing homework exercises used to reinforceconcepts of signal processing. These exercises include some fundamental concepts of DSP(quantization, aliasing, Fourier analysis, and filtering) and more advanced areas (sampling rateconversion, LCMV filtering, adaptive filtering, and speech processing).

revisions in the course material reflect a shift in focus from typical machinetheory to motor system applications. We have decided to spend less time teaching students howto build machines and more time how to communicate with them and control them. This is indirect response to needs expressed by our Industrial Advisory Committee. As educators, we are often conflicted when balancing theoretical concepts with practicalapplications. We want to ensure that we cover sound basics and not just train students to operatespecific equipment. Our new laboratory experiments require a fair amount of training todemonstrate theoretical principles. This tradeoff is necessary to familiarize students with typicalequipment applications and communications
