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

Total machining process simulation that includes selecting the workpiece, zeroing the workpiece, select and measure tools, select the right operation mode for the machine and clearing all the alarms can be performed virtually using Swansoft software. One of the difficulties teaching in ET-mechanical laboratory is that students may not be able to see what the instructor showing on the machine control panel especially when the class size is big. This problem is overcome by using simulation package of Swansoft CNC (SSCNC), which

Henceprocess and structural factors affecting part accuracy in machining processes are quitecomplicated. CNC machine tools only minimizes a small portion of these errors since CNC oftendoes not utilize sensor data to compensate for geometric-thermal errors and errors generated bythe cutting process. Therefore, we must provide our students, through our curriculum, with anadequate level of expertise through new programs, courses and support laboratories.This paper is focused on description of new laboratory modules, teaching materials, practicalexperiments and projects developed as an integrated educational
