Background  Engineering departments are often confronted with the necessity to update laboratory exercises and equipment with the latest emerging technological trends within tight budget constraints. Another challenge faced by departments pertains to satisfying the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) criteria for capstone senior project experience within the curriculum. In this paper we will explain how we attempted to solve these challenges by exposing students to new emerging

However, the challenges presented in such externalopportunities, especially for leading volunteers in any organization, can provide significantlearning opportunities that cannot be easily matched in a classroom.This paper discusses the first year of developing a “laboratory” using external developmentopportunities and the structure used for assessing the leadership experiences for students in afocused engineering leadership class. While none of the leadership experiences are exactly thesame, there are common elements of each experience. Specifically, the students must self-identify a volunteer (non-paying) organization in which they are engaged. They must

Laboratory experimentstend to supplement what we teach in theory classes; however, not always they go hand in hand toget the students‟ attention and ability to gain insights in to a clear understanding of theunderlying concepts discussed in the theory that they perceive. As instructors, we try our levelbest to narrow this gap by bringing demonstration apparatuses to classes, involve industryspeakers to speak to the class, or show media clips, etc., which certainly help the majority ofstudents to learn engineering principles just in time.
