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. A second issue that must be tackled ishow to teach both passive and active circuit design

Moreover, we studied the effect of students’ priorperception of the online learning model on students’ perception of whether the combination of thetwo helped students overcome the online learning challenges.This paper describes our practical way of teaching the computer networking course usinghands-on activities with Wireshark and Mininet. Inspired by existing work in Wireshark andMininet in their use, we designed our novel combination of the two in 12 laboratories. Studentswould first observe specific protocols by packet capture in Wireshark and then emulatenetworking scenarios in Mininet for the same protocols. As such

Dr. Kim and his collaborators attracted close to $1M research grants to study writing transfer of engineering undergraduates. For the technical research, he has a long-standing involvement in research concerned with manufacturing of advanced composite materials (CFRP/titanium stack, GFRP, nanocomposites, etc.) for automotive, marine, and aerospace applications. His recent research efforts have also included the fatigue behavior of manufactured products, with the focus of

An initial pilot offering in the spring semester 2020 started out following this model butunfortunately had to change direction when the campus was shut down due to the Coronaviruspandemic.The mid-semester transition to remote learning was particularly difficult when students lostaccess to the laboratory equipment.

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

Evaluation of outcome“b”, “a graduating student should have an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well asto analyze and interpret data” was accomplished using a well-designed rubric, as is the subject ofthis paper. 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.

and results.One way in which to help streamline hands-on laboratory education in terms of objectives,equipment, and products is to make the lab activities as relevant as possible to their interests,goals and future careers. 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

For example, when teaching a CME453concrete course, the laboratory component follows the American Standards of Testing andMaterials (ASTM) cement, aggregate and concrete standards. The major experiments conductedare the tests specified in the American Concrete Institute field and laboratory testing certificationprogram, including: Sampling Freshly Mixed Concrete, Making and Curing Concrete

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
