Dedicatedlaboratory courses have been the successful vehicle to provide the hands-on experiences at someuniversities, such as the University of South Florida (USF) [3], with tremendous success. Whilethe idea of a dedicated laboratory course in microwave engineering is attractive, it is difficult tointegrate such a course into an emerging curriculum with limited resources. The BaylorElectrical and Computer Engineering Department is in a period of significant growth, but atpresent, the department faculty numbers a mere eleven, with only two members presentlyteaching RF/microwave and electromagnetics courses.

Inspired by existing work in Wireshark andMininet in their use, we designed our novel combination of the two in 12 laboratories.

However, it should be considered less effective inmeeting the objectives of these lab assignments as evidenced by our students' evaluations ofinstruction. The primary positive outcome of this approach- successfully covering all of thematerials originally planned for the semester- was possible due to the long history of thesecourses and data acquired from previous years’ teaching experiences, which allowed us to shareuniform and quality sample data for the “at-home” laboratory modules for all student groups. Aneutral outcome of this approach was the continued team-based approach. While most studentswere able to

The rubric was established and administered in CEE-346L, Geotechnical EngineeringLaboratory. The means of assessment was a particular laboratory experiment, One DimensionalConsolidation Test. The rubric consisted of several indicators in each of the categories: “1” –Below Expectation, “2” – Meets Expectation, and “3” – Exceeds Expectations, with a desiredmetric threshold score of 2 or greater.

This involves giving the students ownership of their lab experience.The concept of student ownership has many facets, including letting students plan educationalobjectives and activities, select educational materials, teach other students, and reflect criticallyon their expectations and experiences (Fletcher 2008).

obstacle is thatthe laboratory and shop base that are required for the constant troubleshooting process can causeboth a financial burden and a tremendous increase to the instructor’s teaching load. These obstaclesoften force engineering educators to make necessary compromises which oftentimes replacelaboratory experiments with virtual experiments and “black board” exercises.One way to reduce some of this burden is through the implementation of miniature mechanical toolswith prototyping sensors and measurement systems as a part of the laboratory class. The students canalso use a prototyping board to construct sensors and electronic transducers, which allows the class toget a better understanding of measurement systems. In order to do this, however

Course content and deliverymethods should be structured to meet the demands and challenges of such a dynamic,interdisciplinary and complex applied science field. Laboratory work is a critical component ofthe engineering education, and a core component of technical programs. Unfortunately, in therenewable energy case, the equipment is expensive, in terms of acquisition and maintenance,requiring adequate space and utility access. To cope with such challenges we are proposing inthe next academic year to develop a virtual renewable energy laboratory, consisting of

A modified version of this approach, however, can easily be used at all levels of themechanical engineering curriculum. This laboratory’s development process began by writing asuccessful proposal for outside funding in order to create a hands-on teaching laboratory. A two-semester long, open-ended project was utilized, a process which required the students to come upwith creative approaches to problem solving. Consequently, a full-cycle learning experience tookplace. The students began with

In preparation for a summer offering of a surveying and geomaticsclass, faculty chose to develop a virtual laboratory that could provide a quality, virtual learningexperience for students that would fully meet the course learning outcomes. The resulting virtuallaboratory centered on a series of videos that put the student in a second-person perspective of anote-taker on a survey crew. The modules built around these videos not only allowed for a fullyvirtual delivery of the laboratory, with students participating from as far away as Saudi Arabia,they also ensured full participation of every student, something
