Most instrumentation textbooks cover analog and digital principles forinstrumentation but in different orders and formats (e.g. Johnson, 2006, Northrop, 1997).Reinforcement of principles and introduction to practical instrumentation and control examplescan only be offered through hands-on laboratory exercises, demonstrations, and preparation of afinal team project.

Hence, it comes asno surprise that ABET has embraced this criterion for close to a decade.Introduction to Thermodynamics requires that students learn basic, yet complicated concepts,such as determining properties of pure substances, calculating heat and work exchanged during aprocess, and the first and second law of thermodynamics, before they can tackle complexapplications, such as thermodynamic cycles or combustion systems. These basic concepts areconducive to simple, conceptually oriented laboratory assignments that parallel the classroominstruction. Those laboratory assignments are an ideal place to implement

Exit interviews are conducted by the advisor (in the last advisementsession) and the chair (near the end of the last semester) to give/get personal feedback.These surveys were instituted for a variety of reasons.
