[32] Among three learning settings, “physical experiment only” mode was set as a“control” group, and the remaining two “DTVR” and “CAVE” modules were set as“experimental” treatment groups. The “control” group consisted of students who did not haveaccess to either “DTVR” or “CAVE” modules. Learning of the subject matter in the “control”group prior to the physical experiment was

The only additional instructor-suppliedinformation, beyond the engineering design process, was a basic understanding of center ofgravity, center of pressure, and how they relate to rocket stability.As the teams worked through the design process, they developed solid models of their payloadsusing Solid Works (Figure 1). A design review in the form class presentations allowed the teamsto explain how all the project constraints were being met as well as to receive feedback on theirdesigns.

THE PROJECT-DRIVEN TEACHING APPROACHTo successfully meet the course objectives, two major design projects were developed to coverfundamental concepts in the instrumentation and controls areas. The first project was athermometer design project that requires the student to design a thermistor-based digitalthermometer; the second was a coupled-tank level control system design project. The concepts,analysis methods, and design approaches tied to the two projects are illustrated in Figure 2. Thispaper, however, addresses only the second project and discusses how control concepts weretaught through this project-driven approach. Specifically

It works well for classes where predefined information istransferred from instructor to student, for example, history or basic math. A major bottleneckoccurs when a student must obtain his or her own data through an experiment or laboratorywork. It is important for a student to get hands-on learning to prepare them for a future inindustry [3]. There is currently no system in place that allows a remote user to have the sameexperience as a student who is physically able to participate in an experiment. This hands oninteraction is how

Among the most vital ofthese criteria is Outcome h: “the broad education necessary to understand the impact ofengineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context”. Properlyunderstood, Outcome h goes far beyond contextual awareness. It provides the bond betweenvirtually all other ABET outcomes, linking the profession’s traditional strengths in scientificknowledge (Outcome a) with design (Outcomes b and c), multidisciplinary teamwork (Outcomed), and knowledge of contemporary issues (Outcome j).

Each slider has variations from -90° through 0° to 90°.Each slider has a digital display beside it so that the user can view the exact angular positionhe is sending to the arm.

The following is the Reflection section from the FCAR: What worked well: Needing to get the pre-labs 100% correct helped the students understand the concepts better and certainly made the post-labs drastically better. I felt that the students learned more and fewer were just going through the motions when doing the experiments. My post-lab grading time was cut to almost nothing. The field trip was great.
