IntroductionThis paper, of particular interest to the new educator in a two-year electronics program, presentsinnovative classroom and laboratory techniques which have proven to enhance student learningand interest. Technology students, often kinesthetic learners, may not learn easily from lecturesbut respond well to alternative methods and will listen if their interest is piqued by an element offun or sizzle.II.

Classsizes for these experiences ranged from 12 to 40 students in a class; these efforts were more aboutconstructing these experiences rather than considering the interaction of very large (e.g. 100 ormore student) classrooms.

Unfortunately, there has been a lag in the adoption ofresearch-based teaching approaches by practitioners. At the same time faculty are limitedin the development of their instructional practices to short courses, workshops,conference proceedings and publications. All of these developmental activities requiresubstantial time, effort, and funding with no guarantee of application to the classroomand university context of participating faculty. In addition, faculty feedback is generallylimited to student evaluations and periodic observations

These problems, in general, stress the concepts and techniques covered in that chapterwithout really striving to establish a continuity with the previous chapters. The implicitassumption is that the students will be able to bridge the gap between the chapters and grasp thecontinuity of context, see the overall picture, and perceive where
