A unified powerengineering laboratory is proposed in [6] which can be used for various experiments related topower systems, power electronics, and energy conversion.Different approaches of teaching laboratory classes in electrical engineering are discussed in [7].The author proposed a vertically integrated approach to hands-on laboratory experimentation forteaching PV systems. In this approach students get the experience of designing and building eachpart in a PV system.One important renovation for power systems laboratories is the

A teaching assistant was present in each room to helpthe students.In order to evaluate the usability of this game engine-based laboratory, a data set containing thestudents’ videogame playing background and a game log, which tracks the students’ activities,were collected and analyzed. The result shows that all students were able to complete thelaboratories regardless of their prior videogame playing experience. Also, it was discovered thatfrom the students’ laboratory operation perspective, most students made mistakes beforecompleting all tasks. From a collaboration perspective

Paper ID #27852Laboratory Course Development for Biomedical Signals and SystemsProf. Benjamin Hawkins, Cal Poly, SLO My professional interests focus on the development and use of microsystems (biosensors, microcon- trollers, etc) to matters of human health. Primarily this is focused on microfluidics, but also ranges from wearable devices to laboratory equipment. Applications range from cell measurements to ecological ques- tions. Educationally, I am focused on developing courses and content that connects theory to technology in practice, with an emphasis on rigorous understanding of both.Dr. James Eason, Cal Poly San Luis

notsignificantly change student learning. Multiple speculations may explain these results: (1)teaching and learning is a complex process sensitive to many factors and laboratory tools are onlyone of the many. The contribution of the new tools could be completely masked by the otherfactors; (2) the assessment instruments, although both subjective and objectives ones arecarefully selected here, might not measure laboratory learning effectively, confirming theconclusion that the assessment of laboratory work is tricky made in [9].Figure 4 shows that in the three assessed areas (voltage divider, equipment using, and datainterpretation) that are more closely related to electronic hand-on laboratory, the experimentgroup did not do as well as the control group

comments are extracted from student project reports. Overall, the comments arevery encouraging [10]: • “The Neophyte Receiver design and building experience diverged from my typical laboratory experience in several ways. Normally, the intent is for ‘laboratory experiments’ to enforce lecture topics. That said, a definite sense of compensation for hours spent in the lab could sometimes be lost, especially for an applied engineering technology student. A project such as building a short wave radio gives tangible purpose to time spent with hardware and serves to teach skills that might not otherwise be learned. More indefinable rewards were the ones that mattered most.” • “Attention to
