solving.The difficulty observed in the undergraduate program, namely low student interest, is the resultof several interacting factors. Most of these factors are beyond the control of the students andinstructors. One factor that affects student interest and that we, as faculty, can control, is the waywe present material in the classroom. Students get bored when they do not understand what weteach and they do not understand what we teach when we offer material in a mode that isdifferent from their natural learning mode. Research has shown that about 75% of undergraduateengineering students are visual learners while (typically) in excess of 90% of our instruction isoral and written verbal communication [1]. Further, most students (60%) learn

studio type of instruction and collegesand universities nationwide are being encouraged by funding agencies and common perceptionto incorporate these teaching methods throughout science, math, engineering and technologycurricula. In an ideal studio classroom, students are presented with engineering concepts duringshort lecture periods. Students then engage in activity geared toward demonstrating thisinformation by participating in hands-on laboratory activities that utilize computers andcomputer-interfaced laboratory equipment. Students work in teams of two-to-three under theguidance of an instructor. The studio approach allows for immediate application of theory,thereby creating a more effective learning environment for students.”A second grant

diversity, and so on.The half-life of knowledge gained in many engineering fields is estimated between two-and-a-half and three years6. Since engineering students have only four years to study therequisite engineering and non-engineering courses, they necessarily need to learn manyimportant newer fields on their own by way of “learning by doing” projects.Several leading universities have emphasized innovative approaches to engineeringeducation, such as “hands-on learning”, “learning by/while doing”, and “project-basedlearning”. The tangible and intangible benefits of such active learning approaches aremost widely gained through practical laboratory and project-based instruction7, 8.To quote Professor Seymour Papert, the creator of the Logo language

With regard to the lab courses, finding appropriate resources, delivering clearinstructions, and creating labs without being physically present are the crucial issues.The purpose of this paper is to share our experiences in meeting learning objectives whileteaching lab courses virtually. The learning objectives impacted by the transition will behighlighted, following by a discussion on the affected student outcomes. Our approach to attackthe problems will be presented and example lab courses will be used to share the experiences

Students brought voluminous binders to the final exam, the instructorsevaluated the portfolio for organization and completeness, and students received a score worth5% of the final grade. In reality this method of evaluation was inconvenient, inefficient, andinadequate. It was difficult for the instructor to “spot check” a portfolio containing a semester’sworth work and to evaluate it adequately. In addition, the instructor was left in possession ofmore than twenty heavy three-ring binders, which were

Engineering accreditation teams struggle with how to promote andevaluate the laboratory experience4 so that more can share in the benefits of “hands on”activity. One of the primary goals of engineering practice has always been to link theory withpractice, and true-life stories of engineering practice are both interesting and profound.5, 6Providing the student with his or her own true-life experience while at the academy increasesboth the motivation to master a subject and the developing passion for creative activity.
