Lab scheduling becomes more flexible, teaming is enhanced, and equipmentis more effectively utilized in an open laboratory6. However, this requires self-paced labs thatcan be completed without direct supervision. Our goal in this work is to transform traditionallaboratories to open laboratories for basic electrical engineering courses such as AC/DC circuitanalysis.In a traditional laboratory approach, teaching assistants help the students with assembly anddebugging. Students can also receive individual instruction from graduate student teachingassistants (TAs) during office hours. It

The piezo-electric effect is often encountered indaily life. For example, in small gas grill lighters, a lever applies pressure to a piezo-electric ceramic creating an electric field strong enough to produce a spark to ignite thegas. Furthermore, alarm clocks often use a piezo-electric element. When AC voltage isapplied, the piezo-electric material moves at the frequency of the applied voltage and theresulting
