This experiment will also be utilized inother courses with an emphasis on the integrating concepts together for students.Since the students’ reaction to the lab and project was a positive one, it seems most appropriateto recommend this method to other teaching establishments. However, several challenges existfor initiating a laboratory and program like the one presented above. One challenge for theprofessor will be to judge how much instruction students will need. Thus

Laboratory equipment is based on large test sets using analogue instrumentation.Computerization of these teaching laboratories that allows data acquisition and display of datahas not been widely used. It should be noted that developing a fully functional high voltagePower Systems Lab that would cover all the various areas of power and their control systemswould require a large facility and hundreds of thousands of dollars and possibly into the millionsdollars1.

Our MET students arerequired to take several senior level classes such as Fluid Power, Heating, Ventilation and AirConditioning (HVAC), Robotics, and Mechanical Vibration. We started teaching Vibrationformally in the fall of 2006 and currently this course does not have a formal laboratory. We maynot be able to set up such a laboratory in the near future because of the budget cuts we are facingat the departmental and university levels. Therefore, the author decided to include two vibrationrelated hands-on activities, the Helmholtz resonator project and an industrial visit. The studentteams are required to design, build and test Helmholtz resonators, and write a formal report.They are also required to visit

Since the groups were chosen randomly, other possible factors such asacademic preparedness could be shown to contribute to the higher GPA value seen. It isconcluded that the type of laboratory manual used did not significantly affect the overallperformance of the students.Introduction There are as many approaches to teaching computer programming, as there areprogramming languages to teach.

study is to determine whether these skills have been carried over into the twosemester capstone design course. If the earlier course is effective in teaching experimentaldesign and laboratory techniques, this should translate to more sophisticated experimental designand execution in the capstone design course. To determine whether these concepts have beenretained in the capstone design course, design reports were examined to note the instances ofspecific Measurements and Analysis topics in the design projects. Reports were examined forstudent populations that had taken the revised course and were compared to reports for studentswho had taken the original course with two different instructors.
