lab classes often experience dissatisfaction not because they dislike hands-on learning, but because they are overwhelmed by other components and deliverables of the labclass.At the other end of the spectrum, some hands-on learning has focused on very simplemanipulators that are designed to provide a qualitative reinforcement of concepts. One of thegoals of this NSF IUSE project is to create simple hands-on experiments that can be highlyportable for use in lecture rooms, laboratories, or even dorm rooms but can still go beyondqualitative demos and yield quantitative confirmation of engineering models. Due to advances inportable data acquisition devices, laptop computers, and affordable sensors, there is anunprecedented opportunity to make

Thus, the use of online fluctuation data for Fokker-Planck equation application studies would be acceptable. A large set of outcome data usuallywould display a Gaussian- like distribution. A Fokker-Planck approach in tracking the timeevolution of the distribution could be applied. In mathematics, the Ornstein–Uhlenbeckstochastic process could be captured by the Fokker-Planck equation in terms of the underlyingprobability density

As an example, UTRGV computer science curriculum has CSCI 1170Engineering Computer Science I Laboratory as a separate course to complement CSCI 1370Engineering Computer Science I. The two courses are usually taught by different instructors, andessentially are two separate courses with no interactivity between the two.

The four-hour course requirement is also applied toengineering courses. While this is not a difficulty for courses such as Circuits and Electronics,which normally include both a class component and a laboratory component, for more theoreticalcourses, such as Signals and Systems, and classes for which three hours is perfectly adequate,such as Engineering Economics, four hours is not necessary, and requires some creative coursecombinations in order to include the multiplicity of topics normally
