team by creating a deliverable that requires the studentsto work together and share their knowledge with each other 4,5. The technique requiresthat the students are divided up into small groups of three to six students depending onhow many assignments or sections the faculty comes up with. This first group isconsidered the “expert” group because the students will work on one part of a project orsingle assignment and research that topic. After learning about their part, the students aredivided into new mixed groups such that each new team has at least one member of theprevious teams on it. In these reformed teams students share the information learned intheir first group with the other members in that group. For example, a class of

This paper reports the design anddevelopment of an experimental system for two-phase flow that allows undergraduate andgraduate students or other remote clients to easily run two-phase flow experiments, change controlparameters and analyze the results via TCP/IP based network systems including the Internet andthe Local Area Networks.This computer-aided experiment uses LabVIEW software and data acquisition boards (DAQ).Control of the experiment is initiated from a web browser, and data are acquired

Initially, our department customized the eleven providedby ABET and formulated twenty-one program outcomes with several of the additions beingrelated to AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) Program Criteria. In orderto show the relationship between ABET’s a-k criteria and our program outcomes, we illustratedthis in Table 1. In addition, it can be very helpful for a department to map all of the courses inthe curriculum to their ABET program outcomes.

A series of laboratoryassignments have been developed for students to gain hands-on experience with electronics,programmable logic controllers, industrial robots, conveyors, instrumentation, and dataacquisition. The initial exercises establish a basis to program and network multiple PLCs,command the movement of a robotic arm, and then integrate these elements into a smartconveyor system under automated control for product distribution. The remaining laboratoryactivities focus on electronic circuits, and vibration experiments with accompanying dataacquisition and theoretical analysis. Lastly, a design project offers an open-ended multi-facetedopportunity to apply a robotic arm, conveyors, bar code reader, color sensor, and networkedPLCs

The mainobjective of both approaches is to provide a conceptual understanding of a wide range ofearthquake engineering related topics.

RBE 3001 and RBE 3002 arebeing taught for the first time during the 2008/2009 academic year. Student course evaluationsgenerally indicate a high level of student satisfaction with the courses, particularly for RBE 1001and RBE 2002 (generally well over 4, on a scale of 1-5). Ratings for RBE 2001 have been high,but slightly lower. As expected the overall satisfaction with the course usually correlate wellwith the students rating of the instructor. The students are also asked how many hours they spendon the course and
