The Multiple-Lab-Driven Pedagogy with TCK IntegratedThere have been plenty of studies performed on lab-based curriculum. For instance, Abbas andLeseman [5] developed a laboratory-based curriculum on the theory, fabrication, andcharacterization of microelectromechanical systems, in which course assessment data is input bystudents from three semesters, based on which the effectiveness of the laboratory project isevaluated. Alexander and Smelser [6] proposed a distance laboratory teaching method thatcombined multi-media computer experiments, portable hands-on exercises, and place-boundlaboratory experiments.

Therefore, the design information pertainingto the surge generators are available for teaching purposes. This gives students a visual tool toobserve exactly how certain devices are constructed2.Also at OSU, dissectible machines are used in the energy conversion lab. The test machines arefully dissectible and can be used to construct a wide variety of ac and dc electrical machines.This allows students the opportunity to observe the behavior and construction of various kinds ofac and dc machines2.At IIT Bombay, laboratory instruction is offered and believed to be a necessary part of theelectrical engineering

Even though AUC is a preferable type of feedback compared to KCR, it is more complex and therefore expensive to develop. h. Instructional designers are often interested in efficiency. It might be expected that the additional steps necessary for AUC would require more study time. i. Simulation-based teaching methodology offers a cost reduction by replacing expensive physical lab equipment such as routers, switches, and firewalls.

of a Power Systems Course for EETAbstract:There are a number of areas that a modern Power Systems course in EET should consider. Oneis the conflict between laboratory experiences traditionally taught in an Electrical Power Courseand the ArcFlash requirements of NFPA 70E. A second is the need to teach the calculations offaults necessary to build a modern one-line diagram for a manufacturing facility. A third is alook at the theory behind all electrical and magnetic circuit design (Maxwell’s Equations). Apossible fourth is the expanded role of emerging energy generation methods and the impact thesehave on the grid. This paper discusses the development of various methods used to teach thetraditional Motors or Power Systems course while
