We intend to discuss the following traditional and rather non-traditional topics: 1. Analogies to mechanical engineering concepts 2. Current flow in DC circuits 3. Basic semiconductor (diode) theory - is it difficult? 4. Basic solar cell and thermoelectric engine 5. Laboratory materials 6. MATLAB and LabVIEW 7. Historical context 8. Video tutorials 9.

Unfortunately,there seems to be a lower value placed on teaching laboratory courses as evidencedby these courses being frequently assigned to graduate assistants. Havingexperienced both analytical and experimental work, there is no doubt in the author’smind that analytical and deductive engineering courses take less time to teach andare easier to assess than their iterative and inductive counterparts. Those who haveworked in engineering laboratories know well how difficult it can be to get stubbornobservations to cooperate and agree reasonably well with our

This particular writing consultant arrangement had, however, beendeveloped independently by the chemical engineering department and had in fact been inplace since the 1960s. Under this arrangement, a writing consultant from the Englishdepartment--usually a graduate teaching assistant--was hired to assist with grading reportsand tutoring students for the junior-level laboratory course. The English teacher wasoriginally called an "English grader" and was asked to assign a partial grade to each reportbased on its grammatical and mechanical correctness. More recently, the English

The first term thementor and Professor Williams each taught one section of a common course.

This follows thepyramid model of only teaching advanced concepts once the basics are understood, and notattempting to teach high level biomedical engineering concepts first.Traditional undergraduate engineering education, especially in Civil and MechanicalEngineering, allows a graduate to shift among different areas of expertise over their career due tothe similarity of fundamental principles.
