feature of the engineering programs at Paducah is that alllaboratory equipment for unit operation labs was purchased from off-the-shelf vendors. Since theengineering programs are for undergraduates only, there are no graduate students available toconstruct and test laboratory experimental equipment as in a traditional university environment.Purchase of the equipment was from a $1.1M start-up equipment allocation appropriated by theState over a 2-year period. Some of the equipment includes a packed distillation column, adouble-effect evaporator, CSTR and continuous reactors, gas adsorption apparatus, fluid flowapparatus, liquid-liquid extraction, process control trainer, and various type heat exchangers.

With the exception of computer based data acquisition instruction in the course,the content of such courses is fairly standard1. These standard topics include experimentaldesign and techniques, transducers, signal processing, and data analysis. The topic of computerbased data acquisition is an essential component of modern engineering experimentationcourses and its incorporation in the course can serve as the backbone to explore other coursetopics.The engineering instructor’s challenge is to find a method for covering this material in aclassroom setting while simultaneously conducting meaningful laboratory experiments tocomplement the classroom instruction

Besides projectsincorporated into a standard three credit hour course, in some cases projects have beensuccessfully implemented in 1 or 2 credit hour laboratory courses (attached to othercourses like design of machine elements) in which the students meet several times eachweek. In these cases most of the laboratory is spent on team activities related to theproject.Other venues could include experimental laboratories where both fabrication andexperiments are performed.

Students learn of the underlying scientific concepts of the technical tools used today2.

In the BMEprogram at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, our goal is to also provide morehands-on design opportunities in the laboratory and machine shop.
