laboratory coursesAbstractToday’s engineers need diverse technical communication skills that are not limited to preparingdetailed and long reports. However, classic engineering curricula lack courses that focus on theseskills. Engineering laboratory courses offer a unique opportunity to fill this gap. In this paper, wereview cases reported in science and engineering education literature that cover laboratoryassignments other than traditional lab reports. We discuss the use of modified reports, oralpresentation, poster presentations, and video reports as alternatives to conventional lab reports.Results from multiple studies indicate that, in addition to gaining technical communication skills,preparing alternative forms of lab assignments helps
Education, 2023 Design an Energy-Saving Device: An Engaging Module for a Laboratory CourseAbstractThis paper describes a new module that was developed and deployed in a sophomore circuitslaboratory course, how it was evaluated, and the results of student surveys addressing theeffectiveness of the module. The module challenges the students to design, build, anddemonstrate a simple device of their choosing that has the potential to save energy. In addition tolearning how to program a microcontroller, the objectives of the module are to give studentspractice in identifying real world engineering opportunities and to connect the class content tothe real world.The module is designed to engage the students by
campus, we have createda career-forward laboratory curriculum. This curriculum involves student teams completingDesign Challenges, which translate chemistry concepts such as specific heat capacity, solubility,and reaction kinetics into situated problems that are unique to the practice of professionalengineers. In addition to contextualizing science and engineering as real world applications, ourapproach forecasts the professional practice of various types of engineering careers. Thisapproach allows first- and second-year students to experience the work of a professionalengineer in a developmentally appropriate form as a means of learning the domain of chemistry.Special consideration has also been given to designing for populations sensitive to
