American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Integrating Cyber Infrastructure with Physical LaboratoriesAbstract Laboratories are indispensible components for engineering and technology curricula.Through systematically designed experiments, students can gain hands-on experience, enhanceclassroom learning, and cultivate career interests. However, traditional laboratories are oftenrestricted by space, scheduling, staffing, etc. Thus, how to effectively organize laboratories andmaximize the utilization of limited resources has gained many researchers’ attention. In recentyears, integrating cyberspace with educational technology has achieved significant progress. Tofacilitate the needs of research and education, lots of laboratory

Design Experiences for Future Engineers in Chemistry Laboratory AbstractOur approach to general chemistry laboratory for engineers in our NSF-funded IUSE project(DUE-1625378) involves the use of design challenges (DCs), an innovation that uses authenticcontext and practice to transform traditional tasks. These challenges are scaled-down engineeringproblems related to the NAE Grand Challenges that engage students in collaborative, team-basedproblem solving via the modeling process. With features aligned with professional engineeringpractice, DCs are hypothesized to support student motivation for the task as well as for theprofession. As an evaluation of our curriculum design, we use Expectancy Value

American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Undergraduate Signal Processing Laboratories for the Android Operating SystemAbstractWe present a DSP simulation environment that will enable students to perform laboratoryexercises using Android mobile devices and tablets. Due to the pervasive nature of the mobiletechnology, education applications designed for mobile devices have the potential to stimulatestudent interest in addition to offering convenient access and interaction capabilities. This paperdescribes a portable signal processing laboratory for the Android platform. This software isintended to be an educational tool for students and instructors in DSP, and signals and systemscourses. The
design engages students by using familiar graphics and informationdesign. The use of familiar aesthetics aids in increased learning comprehension and peaksinterest in the course material. The effectiveness of this approach is measured using quantitativeand qualitative analysis and compared to student performance in the traditional physical Page 25.1417.2laboratory. Two methods of summative evaluations are employed: learning evaluation andusability evaluation. The direct outcomes of this project will be the delivery of three virtual 3Dsimulated laboratory exercises for use in Strength of Materials courses. Based upon the creationof the 3D
