Laboratory at the West Virginia University Lane Department ofComputer Science and Electrical Engineering, set up one of its four sections offered in an onlinefashion as a “lab in a box.” This approach is a set of hands-on exercises where students design,build, and test circuits at home using an inexpensive all-in-one electronics kit, digital multimeter,and a USB oscilloscope. With this “lab in a box,” the students, at their own convenience, conductseveral multi-week laboratory experiments such as basic amplifier design, LED four channelcolor organs, and frequency response of circuits. Each week, students use online tools such asdiscussion boards and blogs through a web-based course management system, built into thecampus Learning Management System

this paper describes a Linear Systems laboratory project that involves designing a simplifiedspeech recognition system to recognize the 5 long vowel sounds for a team of 3 or 4 students. Thisproject is assigned soon after the student has been introduced to the Fourier Transform in theassociated Linear Systems lecture course. This paper describes the Laboratory project byillustrating the solution with a specific example drawn from real data for a single student team.This laboratory project has the primary goals: 1. Understand the importance of the Fourier Spectrum for developing useful signal analysis algorithms and systems. 2. Develop a speaker-independent vowel classification system to distinguish the 5 long vowel sounds for a

deflection of the member and therefore failure. Thisstructural failure is known as buckling and might happen even if the compressive strength of thematerial is larger than applied compressive force. Euler in 1757 developed a mathematical modelfor maximum buckling capacity of a member. He presented the maximum load that a membercan carry before failure due to buckling as a function of the length, moment of inertia of thecross section, modulus of elasticity of material and the fixity conditions of the member. Mostly,civil engineering students learn about the theory of buckling in the spring of their sophomoreyear in a Statics II course. Static II is combined with a two-hour weekly laboratory session. Inthis laboratory course different modes of failure

Experimental procedures for measurement of I-V characteristics havebeen in place at the University of Texas at Tyler for a number of years, but the development of“lab-in-a-box” solutions (such as the National Instruments myDAQ) has provided impetus toredesign these experiments to be compatible with that paradigm. To that end, the University ofTexas at Tyler has designed a curve-tracer module that is compatible with the myDAQ andwhich allows students to make direct measurements of I-V

distanceor online education, there are many challenges to overcome in that space. In Mechanical Engineering, manytraditional courses depend on hands-on laboratories in addition to the face-to-face classes. Some researcherswere able to offer the laboratories as online for appropriate subjects such as control (Duan et al. 2005)however, this might be more challenging in other topics within mechanical engineering. Use of experientiallearning, i.e., projects designed with often low-cost kits for physical activity is also found to be beneficialin an online Mechanics course (Dittenber & Ironside 2017).A major challenge in determining the online course quality is student’s engagement and motivationcompared to the face-to-face courses.
