learning.KeywordsLaboratory, assessment, practical skills, pedagogical innovation.IntroductionLearning through laboratory experiments has always been considered an essential part ofundergraduate engineering education. Laboratories help students conceptually understandtheoretical concepts and learn social skills of working in groups. Laboratories also help studentslearn important practical skills required for their profession. Particularly, laboratories ofintroductory courses teach such practical technical skills [1],[2].Laboratory performance evaluation often counts towards a portion of overall grade for theassociated course. For introductory engineering courses, this evaluation completely relies onsuccessful completion and proper reporting of results for individual

In addition, the average number of new enrollments in undergraduate EEprograms is flat or increased slowly nationwide, while the same number for the other programsincreased [1]. On the other hand, many of the EE employers are looking only for highly skilledworkers or the students with a graduate degree. Getting graduate degree will result in more yearsof study to get hired in Electrical Engineering.The previous course plan in the EE program at California State University San Marcos was startingwith math, science, and general study courses.

IntroductionSpatial visualization skills have been linked to student success in science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects in school [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and to the likelihood ofparticipation in a STEM undergraduate degree and career [6, 7]. Some groups of students fromunderrepresented populations in STEM seem to struggle with spatial visualization skills [1, 2, 3,8]. Spatial skills are not innate, however, and research shows that students weaker in these skillscan improve with training [1, 2, 3, 9, 10].

Several design-build-test projects involving heat exchangers as part of amechanical engineering curriculum have been made [2-5]. Sherwin and Mavromihales reporteda project for students who built cross-flow air-water heat exchangers out of metals tubes that wascarried out for several years [2].
