Graduate Studies

Dr. Blake Everett Johnson received his doctorate in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2012. Dr. Johnson now works as a lecturer and lab manager in the De- partment of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois. While remaining interested and active in the field of experimental fluid mechanics, he has chosen to spend most of his professional energy on improving the teaching of thermo/fluids laboratory courses through the development of en- gaging and intellectually-stimulating laboratory exercises, as well as improving introductory mechanics education and design courses in the MechSE department.Dr. Matthew D.

Universities primarily teach electric machines andpower system analysis with the assumption that the grid remains largely electro-mechanicallycontrolled. This results from a lack of modern power systems equipment and accompanyinglaboratory material to teach its use. The protective relays in laboratories typically don’t utilizemicroprocessors, making modern control and protection schemes hard to teach.

. Moderndigital communication teaching and research laboratories can use commercial test and measurementinstrumentation to simulate complex digital I-Q modulation scenarios. These full-featured instrumentsare great to use but it is easy to over-look the fundamental operational principles of creating thesecomplex waveforms at the physical layer of the system. In order to give students direct insight on theoperation of I-Q modulators, a laboratory exercise was created to teach the fundamentals of I-Qmodulator operation with a simple laboratory kit consisting of frequency mixers, semi-rigid coaxial cablewith connectors, and surface mount resistors. The schematic of the I-Q modulator is given in figure 1 asdrawn in the Keysight Advanced Design System

Particularly in engineering education, where abstract engineering concepts ideally can bebetter understood by doing the related hands-on activities such as laboratory experiments. Tosolve the issue of the practical training shortage and the lack of hands-on experience with onlineeducation, VR takes the learning experience to a next level in terms of interaction andengagement.

Such a course sequence occurs with two upper-level laboratory courses inthe Mechanical Engineering Department of Virginia Tech [4]. However, with recent increases in engineering undergraduate enrollments [5], many suchcourses are stretched.
