CompatibilityAbstractFew institutions teach techniques of electromagnetic compatibility at the undergraduate level.Even fewer institutions offer hands-on activities to accompany their EMC course. In this paper,an extensive literature review of college curricula which include EMC is summarized. Adding tothe existing library of hands-on activities developed for EMC-interested seniors, three hardware-based “mini-labs” are presented. Each activity can be performed using equipment that is part ofa standard undergraduate electronics laboratory.Keywordselectromagnetic, compatibility, interference, device, hands-on, laboratory, activity, non-ideal,impedance, common-mode, choke, crosstalk, couplingMotivations for This WorkThe primary objective of an electromagnetic

However, the laterdevelopment of remote and virtual laboratories brings a more technology-basedexperimental environment. Student laboratories’ use experience and preferences areessential for current teaching methods and experimental environments' adaptivedevelopment.

studentsAbstractIn the current engineering education landscape, there is an increasing need for students topossess practical hands-on skills in addition to theoretical knowledge. One aspect of thispractical skillset is the ability to effectively use basic hand tools. This paper outlines theimplementation of a laboratory activity aimed at teaching first-year engineering students how tosafely use some basic hand tools. There is significant value in training engineering students to be able to handle tools safely andeffectively. It can empower students to not only design innovative prototypes but also bringsthem one step closer to realizing these designs. By learning how to use tools like saws and drills,engineering students can fabricate prototypes

) was developed to teach students how to take lessons from nature and utilize them for solvingproblems in the natural environment and ensuring its sustainability. As the course was being taughtfor the first time, it was quickly apparent that students majoring in Biological Engineering andEnvironmental science lacked adequate background and preparation in EES and data science. Thecourse was then adjusted to immerge these students into EES and data science using experientiallearning by developing laboratory exercises and a semester long project on wetland design. Theproject included designed laboratory exercises and hands-on work to teach ecological engineeringskills as well as leadership, teamwork, and communication. Other class modules included

While virtual and remote laboratories are not new to engineering education, thereis an increasing need for these alternate methods of teaching due to decreased availability of labtime (from increased undergraduate classes) and the rise of remote higher education programs,such as remote graduate degrees and continuing education [4], [5].In this study, we perform a scoping literature review to explore the tools and labs available toPSET educators. Specifically, we focus on virtual and remote tools that might aid in theeducation of continuing education students and programs with rigid curriculums that do notallow for additional lab time.

go beyond the effort of asingle faculty teaching the same lecture course. This choice could conceivably add a small butindeterminable overestimation of faculty teaching loads.If a professor taught multiple sections of the same class, the faculty was attributed credit for theclass multiple times. In contrast, faculty who taught multiple laboratory sections were onlygiven credit for one section. It was found that some departments offer many laboratory sectionsattributable to multiple faculty members, where it’s unclear how workload is divided. So, if eachlab teaching professor was given credit for each lab course they would have a significantlyhigher credit count than their lecturing peers. These choices could respectively overestimate
