Results of this project will be presented at the 2014 ASEE Annual Conference.Final remarksWhen the Mechanics Based Design Laboratory course was first developed in 2012, assessmenttools were not included in the curriculum to provide information on the effectiveness of thecourse. Anecdotal comments from the students and from the teaching assistances (several ofwhom had taken the four-credit course prior to 2012) indicate that the laboratory course isdelivering the hands-on experiences and the machine design instruction that was missing prior toits inception.Reference 1 Nagurka and Anton, “Discovery learning experiments in a new machine design laboratory,” Proceeding from the 2013 ASEE

The purpose of thisreport is twofold: 1) To describe perspectives of engineering teaching assistants on incorporatingnon-traditional teaching methods and 2) To propose methods that minimize the perceivedbarriers reported by engineering teaching assistants.An online survey was chosen as the assessment method to describe perspectives and practice ofengineering teaching assistants.

The results for the fluids and heattransfer laboratories showed that there was no significant difference in the learning of thestudents. Student perception of the remote lab experiences depended on the smooth running ofthe experiments. The pilot study suggests that some laboratory experiences can be successfullyported to a remote or online mode without sacrificing the student learning experience.IntroductionThe Mechanical Engineering (ME) program is the most popular major at Iowa State Universitywith a current enrollment of approximately 1800 students and about 240 BSMEs being awardedevery year.

 AbstractMany laboratory courses focus on teaching experimental techniques and often do this byproviding step-by-step protocols for students to follow. While this technique exposes thestudents to hands-on experiences and allows them to learn in a controlled environment, it doesnot always promote a deep understanding of the material because the students fail to constructknowledge. To address this, the sophomore-level systems physiology laboratory course has beenrecently modified to include more active learning.The systems physiology laboratory course is structured around measuring common physiologicalsignals, including EMG, EEG, ECG, and pulmonary function. Students work in groups and useBIOPAC hardware and software to record and analyze these signals

The proposed laboratory is being designed as a 3.00 credits class –preferably offered twice a week, giving the students sufficient time to complete each experiment.In order to create an efficient learning environment, we also propose this course to be offered toa maximum of 30 students per section. We believe that 15 groups is the ideal number for ahands-on course, allowing one Professor and one Teaching Assistant (TA) to supervise and assistthe students with questions, troubleshooting, and circuit analysis.By the completion of each experiment, each group needs to turn in a laboratory reportcomprising of all tables and graphs embedded in the laboratory guide, and their C-languagecode implemented.
