In a sequence of laboratory experiments students practice tofabricate resistors, inductors, and capacitors. In each lab they exercise their own fabricatedcomponent and compare it with the similar available commercial component. Laboratorypractices end with fabrication of resonator circuits and inductive/capacitive sensors by finishingthis state of the art laboratory work, participants not only can learn the fundamentals of CircuitTheory Laboratory but also improve their knowledge of current technologies in their field.KeywordsCircuit Printing, Nano Particles

It is evident that computer simulations and haptic robotics complementeach other. The combination of these two experiments enhances the learning experience ofstudents majoring in biomedical engineering and they provide the venue for assessing theirability to “apply and in depth knowledge of biology.”5.

InformationThroughout the country there are numerous employment opportunities requiring skills that canbe acquired through attaining a degree linked to Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math(STEM). Unfortunately there is often a gap between the number of jobs available and thenumber of qualified applicants. This gap is especially acute in the State of Washington wherethere are an estimated 25,000 unfilled positions of which 80% are high-skilled STEM or health-care related1.Washington State is the base of operations for such engineering and technology giants asMicrosoft, Amazon, and Boeing. The Puget Sound region is also home to many companies thatmay not be thought of as high tech companies but, in fact, require a highly trained technicalworkforce. For
