listed in Table 2 indicate that the workshopprovided some insights that had not been covered in regular course material. However, forsome of the students that was not enough. They wanted to hear more about how to apply theconcepts. A longer workshop would have allowed more application and more case studies fromwhich to learn.Undergraduate engineering programs do not allow a lot of time for the inclusion of this type ofmaterial. For this reason, one 50-minute seminar containing a brief overview of the materialwas piloted. Tables 3 and 4 contain the results of a pre- and post-questionnaire given duringthe seminar to determine a measure of the students’ understanding of the concepts. Thequestionnaire was made up of 4 true/false questions and 6

likely that students have computerskills or programing experience but have never used a measurement device. A lack of hands-onexperience is often suggested as a reason for the gender gap in certain engineering disciplines6.Even if this lack of experience is a factor for female engineering students, it is also true thatmany young men are entering the engineering disciplines with little or no tinkering experience.Students with limited hands-on experience are often intimidated by the equipment and lesswilling to experiment on their own especially when matched with a more experienced orconfident partner. The use of lab-tutorials which can be watched before lab can help reduce the„hands-on‟ gap and increase the confidence of students who have little

It is necessary that engineering studentslearn the basics of neural networks somewhere in their undergraduate degree program withouttaking a full quarter/semester course. This paper presents a software developed in Java to teachbasic neural network concepts with backpropagation based learning in a couple of weeks forundergraduate engineering students. This can be done as part of a modeling and simulationcourse in various disciplines of Engineering.IntroductionThe role of artificial neural networks in the present world applications is increasingtremendously with applications including speech processing [21, 22], pattern recognition andclassification [19, 20], system identification/modeling [23], nonlinear and optimal control

Page 25.981.17Our experience shows that simple experiment design can be easily incorporated into labs andwithout increased time commitment from faculty, as long as it is applied on fundamentalconcepts in a simplified setting. We chose to use PASCO labs for their simplicity and low cost.Experimental design has been used for two course offerings. Assessment results show thatstudents perceive that labs with experimental design are more useful to their learning and thattheir learning is indeed deeper than in the traditional setting where students follow prescribedprocedures in labs; thus, validating the merits of this simple model.References1.
