Education, 2009 Lab-in-a-Box: Development of Materials to Support Independent Experimentation on Concepts from CircuitsAbstractA project known as Lab-in-a-Box (LiaB) was developed in 2004 as one of the outcomes of a department-level reform within the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at VirginiaTech, addressing a need that was identified through student and employer surveys for concrete examplesof fundamental concepts in electrical engineering. LiaB is a set of ‘hands-on’ exercises in which studentsdesign, build, and test at home various d.c. and a.c. circuits using an inexpensive electronics kit, digitalmultimeter, and a software oscilloscope and, thus, has not require significant resources to implement

The purpose of this research is to investigate the learning characteristics of United StatesMilitary Academy students enrolled in the mechanical engineering major. We surveyed studentsin a second year design course and a fourth year capstone design course to better understand theprogression from a pedagogical to an andragogical learning orientation. Survey data was collectedfrom n = 58 (out of 85 total enrolled) second-year and n = 62 (out of 99 total enrolled) fourth-yearmechanical engineering students. The survey used was a slightly modified version from1, whichdrew upon previous instruments aligned with assumptions of andragogy. This survey providesinsight in Self-Directed Learning Dimensions

In manycases, educators benefited from the open-ended nature of the capstone senior design course andimplemented self-directed learning modules to introduce students to the concept of lifelonglearning.6As the application areas of self-directed lifelong learning expanded, researchers started to lookinto the disposition, characteristics and behaviors of the self-directed learners. When examined,it was seen that the people who successfully employ lifelong learning are motivated andengaged.7 Continuous lifelong learning needs to be lifelong, life wide, voluntary and self-motivated.8 The difference between self

In general,main problems in effective teaching of PRS are:1- many concepts are introduced late in the curriculum (during senior level courses or at the capstone projects)2- too many concepts are introduced in a short period of time (do not allow students to learn and progress based on their own mistakes)3- late introduction of PRS does not allow students to practice searching for unknown concepts and solutions (most senior level courses and projects are based on a concept of utilizing knowledge acquired in prerequisite courses)4- over-emphasis on ability of using mathematical analysis which usually requires having initial conditions and constraints (not often the case in real-word problems

One recent exampleis ‘Outlet Power Monitoring Using Wireless Sensor Networks’9.The need for increased power monitoring in residential and commercial units is becomingincreasingly self-evident by the ongoing shortage of natural resources and rising costs ofelectricity. This need has been supported by recent government and private policies towardsreducing power consumption and better power monitoring.

This relatively high recognition might reflect thefoundational nature of these courses, where incorporating innovative technologies could play asignificant role in shaping early educational experiences. In contrast, Capstone Courses, oftenbeing the culmination of academic programs, showed a notable number of acknowledgments.This suggests that even in advanced stages of education, where comprehensive projects andpractical applications are prevalent, the potential of GAI to influence and enhance educationalpractices is widely

been pivotal in the development of structural programs to promote research inpredominantly undergraduate institutions [2]. This has led to an increase in undergraduateresearch programs at different universities over the last 35 years.Several models for undergraduate research programs exist, in addition to REUs. These modelsinclude capstone experiences, senior theses, internships and co-ops, course-based undergraduateresearch experiences (CURES), wrap-around experiences, bridge programs, consortium/project-based programs, community-based research programs [1], [3]. However, most of these programsare relatively short-term (i.e., limited to one to two semesters) and thus constrain how deeplystudents can delve into their research.Earlier studies

However, validatedtools for such assessment appear to be less known within the community.While the 3Cs certainly have numerous educational techniques aimed at advancing each,additional assessments via validated tools would appear to be welcomed.
