Sometimes, the physical systems are often transformed to cyber-physicalsystems (CPSs) by interfacing modules in physical systems to cyber system. It is often challenging for undergraduate students toimplement a CPS comprising of analog and digital hardware and software within

To achieve this, a videocapture of the computer screen and an associated voiceover was recorded as different simpleLabVIEW programs were constructed. This was then used in conjunction with a voiceover andslide presentation associated with the lecture on how to use of the software (i.e. LabVIEW).On-Line ContentTo complement the lectures and assigned textbook a variety of other materials are made availableto the students via the internet.

A survey of EMS program alumni and supporting observations by the program's advisory board expressed the need for a more contemporary flavor for the program. o The new program will trade breadth for depth.

participatein physical laboratory experimentation in the basic sciences (e.g. chemistry and physics). Theyalso perform physical experimentation in formal labs in some degree programs, but typically lessthan if they were attending a more traditional engineering school.There are numerous positive benefits from the focus on computer-based labs. It is now possible(and reasonable) to simulate physical and other phenomena using mathematical models in waysthat are faster, more easily visualized, and wider in scope and complexity than can be done in aphysical teaching lab. Thus, students can learn about more complex problems and their solutionthrough interactions that are computer-based. IT-based labs allow students to gain knowledgeand intuition more quickly
