significantly lower down the difficulty for students inlaunching a new project and provide strong support during the whole implementation process. Inparallel, the second approach VIP offers students at different levels a great opportunity to worktogether on building advanced systems. Through VIP programs, students can continuously getinvolved in engineering practice, receive training on diversified skills and develop interests,motivation and concentration. In addition, an adopted mobile laboratory tool, Analog Discovery(AD) kit has greatly facilitated the implementation of these two approaches.KeywordsExperiential Learning, Educational Module Library, Vertical Integration Project, AnalogDiscovery Kit

The class counted for three credits with no laboratory component and met twice aweek for eighty minutes. This course was offered for the second time in the spring of 2015, andat that point, few pieces or equipment were available for conducting traditional water qualitylabs. Therefore, the lessons described in this paper were designed to be inexpensive and easy toimplement with minimal facilities. As at many other institutions, this marked the first time firststudents were presented water treatment technologies in a formalized setting.The series of lessons

,laboratory experiments were offered using a hands-on approach. With the miniaturization ofintegrated circuits, it is becoming very difficult to construct a PC board or assemble surfacemount chips in a lab environment. This shortcoming of the hands-on approach has led professorsand teachers to incorporate simulation in place of hands-on in technology-based lab courses. In spite of the advantages of simulations, hands-on labs remain tremendously importantin the technology curriculum, which is based on Dewey’s experiential learning theory. The basicpremise of this theory is that students learn as a result of doing or experiencing things in theworld, and learning occurs when mental activity is suffused with physical activity [3].Theprofessional

Activities include lectures led by professors, hands-on laboratory exercisestailored to engage teenagers, presentations by transportation practitioners, enrichment activities ledby CTDOT, and field trips to Connecticut landmark projects. Program details undergo refinementsand improvements each year, but basic curriculum remains the same, an example being threemodules consistently dedicated to three fundamental transportation modes: land, water and air.

In addition to the overlap ofcurriculum between standard business education and entrepreneurship education, the businessschool also offers the path of least resistance from an evaluation perspective. Business schoolsdo not have large research expenditures and investments in laboratories and equipment. Theyalso don’t have large research expenditure requirements for faculty. Despite the ostensiblebusiness school focus on commercial success, most faculty have no interest in nor are theyrequired to “pay their way”.
