The lab is web-based and consists of (a)narrated “chalk talks” on basic theory, test equipment, and data reduction procedures, (b) “virtualexperiments,” videos of the tests, including live plotting of twist-torque data, (c) extensive sets ofdata, and (d) a lab manual with suggested exercises and questions. An on-line quiz and adiscussion board are also provided. The instructions page is shown in Figure 1. The lab isdesigned to be modular so that instructors can pick and choose from elements that suit their owncurriculum, perhaps writing their own manual to direct students to specific aspects of the lab andto specific tasks and so

These kinds of courses are specifically dedicated to teaching design.However, their goal is focused on teaching design techniques that are specific to a given topic ora narrow subject. Typically, they are offered after the freshman year; but they tend to be foundduring the third and fourth years. Examples of such courses are: design of mechanisms (ME),design of experiments (IE, ME, EE), design of filters (EE), electronics design (EE), design ofstructures(CE), design of hydraulic systems (CE), design of software (EE, CompE, SoftwareEngr.), chemical processing (ChemE), mechatronics(ME).

An active learningapproach is used to develop the instructional materials for ACM. The goal of the "active learning"curriculum is to create an effective learning environment where students enjoy “hands-on”experiences through laboratory experiments and computer simulations and illustrations. Thegeneral objectives of this study are: (a) to develop a framework on active learning approach, (b) toapply this framework to design teaching modules on fundamentals and applications of ACM; and(c) to translate

These areas were selected not onlybecause they covered a broad range of subjects identified by the workshop participants, but alsobecause they are useful to show the interplay between mathematics and various branches of science. These subjects were covered in the two summer sessions.Through our own research, we also found that some of our course topics can be integrated withcommercially available education material -- the TIMS Laboratory Investigations.9 This materialwas developed at the University of Illinois at Chicago with the support of NSF.

We worked closely with the Gulf Power Company to create a written case study, video,and CD-ROMs as part of our project. The objectives of the Crist case study were to teach thestudents:(a) the technical and project management details involved in planning and implementing a real-world project,(b) the importance of developing and prioritizing project criteria in analyzing alternatives, and(c) how to embed an expert system in the decision-making process.

Advantage: Faculty Faculty members may be challenged by individual students, parents, and, occasionally, attorneys. Professional and regional accrediting agency representatives often ask to see samples of student work; and, sometimes they ask to see samples of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” and “F” student work.
