A student will experience a total of 12 different experiments.As an incentive, students are told that if they complete an experiment to the instructor’ssatisfaction in the first week, they do not have to attend the second week’s laboratory period.This policy was implemented in the fall of 1999, when the author began teaching the course, sothat the appropriate number of laboratory periods for each experiment could be determined.Starting in the fall of 2000, students were required to complete the appropriate module in theVirtual Chemical Engineering Laboratory (VCEL) before starting an experiment.

Theyhave considerable experience with MATLAB, but have not used LabVIEW, or computercontrolled instruments. In order to avoid overloading students with new hardware andsoftware systems, only a small subset of the capabilities of each system is used.2.1 Goals of the LaboratoryOur experience in teaching previous versions of this course is that students fail to relatethe abstract definitions of systems properties such as linearity to the behavior of a realsystem in the laboratory.

The new engineering programs will be hands-on and team oriented and thus relyheavily on laboratory space to meet program objectives.
