SPIRAL Design-Oriented Laboratories in the First-Year Mechanical Engineering CurriculumAbstractAs a primary part of realizing a Student-driven Pedagogy of Integrated, Reinforced, ActiveLearning (SPIRAL) throughout our Mechanical Engineering curriculum, we are implementingnew laboratory experiences in the first and second years of our program. This paper will focus onthe laboratories for our new, required first-year course sequence, in which the traditional topicsof design methodology and computer programming are taught in the context of robotic andmechatronic systems. The laboratories encompass engineering software, mechanical andelectrical hardware, and manufacturing, with content driven by the semester-long team

Curriculum: a Vertical and Horizontally Integrated Laboratory/Lecture ApproachBackground The field of Electrical and Computer Engineering is expanding at an exponentially increasingpace. In every aspect of modern life, the work of this profession is evident and even essential;areas as diverse as transportation, infrastructure, entertainment, health care, and energy are allfundamentally dependent on this foundational discipline, yet the basics of a typical curricularapproach have changed very little in the past decades. If we are to educate engineers for thecoming technical challenges as well as the capacity to work effectively in multidisciplinaryteams, new educational approaches must be considered1.

To do this successfully, engineers must have aknowledge of nature that goes beyond mere theory.” [1] Various forms of laboratory learningexperience are utilized in engineering curricula to assist students to gain this knowledge.

They express a virtually unanimous opinion that the practical laboratory experience oftheir undergraduate curriculum was among the most beneficial, and that courses should focusmore heavily on it.We are addressing these concerns with a new core curriculum for electrical and computerengineers, the Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering Series, a 3-course sequence. Thesecourses replace our prior sequence of courses for 2nd and 3rd-year students: Circuits,Electronics, and Signals and Systems.
