. This notion holds for engineering education aswell as classrooms, laboratories, and research groups are shifting from teacher-centered tostudent-centered approaches as illustrated, for example, by several authors 17-20. These studiesdemonstrate how communities of learners can improve student learning and enhanceinterdisciplinary teams.Learning communities can be characterized by several features: members are positivelyinterdependent 13, 16, 21; they exercise collective decision making and share a common vision thatall members value and internalize; and they are democratic empowering academic cultures 22-25.Rqukvkxg"kpvgtfgrgpfgpeg"qeewtu"yjgp"ogodgtu"ikxg"cpf"tgegkxg"Ðeqpukfgtcdng"uqekcn"uwrrqtv."both persqpcnn{"cpf"cecfgokecnn{Ñ"cu"vjg{"jgnr

Fortunately, our curriculum is strongly project-based and includes several hands-on projects that back up theory. Page 13.1013.14 2. The estimated ability to concentrate on a problem for 30 minutes or more is encouraging in the light of comments about “generation Y” having a very limited attention span. Thirty minutes should be adequate to set up most homework problems and to solve many textbook problems. Although students may be

students do. It requirescompelling problems and well-designed laboratories, studios, workshops, and playingspaces. It demands strenuous efforts and experts to intercede with stories, admonitions,or principles when students fail, as they must, if they are to learn. Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops.

In an earlier publication of the author some of the more importantadvantages of LabVIEW were outlined and discussed3. A brief summary of these advantages areprovided below: ‚ LabVIEW has an attractive, convenient, and easy-to-use user interface. Using this interface (LabVIEW’s front panel) problem input can be issued in variety of ways to display the output in any desired format. ‚ Ease with which MATLAB script files can be imported and used in LabVIEW.

In consultation with the client, we tried to scope the project so that it wouldtake about 10 hours per week for each of the 5 students, for the duration of the 15-weeksemester, or 750 man-hours total. We also tried to scope the project so that no more thanabout half of the income would have to be spent on materials, leaving some residual toupgrade the laboratory facilities. On this basis, we bid for and were approved for twoprojects from two different MEPoL clients.
