Purdue University blackwell@purdue.eduAbstract Purdue’s ECET department has supported surface mount technology (SMT) in its labs forover 10 years. In that time the department has expanded its teaching of the design and assemblyof devices incorporating surface mount components (SMCs) from design basics and simplemanual assembly in one undergraduate class, to more complex designs and manual & automatedassembly in two electronic manufacturing courses

EMEC curriculum demanded a significant redesignof both the course and laboratory exercises. Using a "just-in-time" strategy, four laboratory exercisesand corresponding lecture material associated with the buck and boost switch-mode power supply(SMPS), the 2- and 4- quadrant drive, and the permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motor has beendeveloped. Before introducing SMPS, the fundamental operation and electrical equivalent of thePMDC motor is established. Using the volt-second energy balance approach, the buck and boostSMPS and their voltage transfer characteristics are developed. Using the principles of duality, theSMPS is extended to the 2-quadrant drive for the PMDC motor. Three laboratory exercises,associated with these topics, are conducted very

lab times.• Limited resources to support students outside labs and the classroom: In many cases, no lab assistant support is available.• Limited equipment to support lab assignments: Because lab equipment is often expensive, students must often work in groups. For example, an industrial scale PLC—such as an Allen Bradley RSLogix 5550 processor and a set of I/O cards—costs about $8000.To help offset these obstacles, in recent years, a variety of computer and networkingtechnologies have been developed. For example, remote laboratories (also known as e-Lab,Tele-Lab)5,6, virtual laboratories8,9,10,11, and hybrid laboratories6 have been developed to reducelab equipment setup costs and increase accessibility.

Each engineering teamis challenged to predict the performance of a miniature rocket by developing an analytical modelof the rocket trajectory using engineering principles and laboratory measurements. The studentteams also participate in the hands-on activity of building and launching the prototype rocketsystem. This prototype is ultimately used to test the predictions of the analytical model. It islaunched for the first, and last, time as the concluding event of this design competition. To addrealism to the activity, the student teams are given imitation money that is used to buy

During a PandemicAbstractExperiments form the backbone of much of engineering education, but because it is not alwayspossible to do them in person, simulations can provide a powerful alternative to assist studentlearning. We present data from two versions of two chemical engineering courses where in-person labs pivoted to virtual simulated experiments. In the first-year introduction to chemicalengineering course we designed a simulation for students to design and then test a bench-scaleprototype of a remediation column for acid mine drainage. In the junior-level chemicalengineering laboratory—students typically carry out a bomb calorimetry experiment of sucroseand then analyze their data. We created a simulation based on a combination of
