part of the VaNTH program we have incorporated the use of computational and realisticsimulations into the teaching of respiratory physiology at the Harvard-MIT Division of HealthSciences & Technology (HST). The project is part of the VaNTH-ERC strategic plan to developmodules for a systems physiology domain. In the program of a course on RespiratoryPhysiology, we hypothesized that a hands-on laboratory using simulation would challenge thestudent's knowledge, provide insight into complex interactions, and motivate the students toexpand the material taught during lectures. We also hypothesized that improved learning wouldbe achieved by using a realistic simulator based on a computer-controlled mannequin and acomputer simulator with a

The designof the system prototype including two measurement nodes and a central server module isexplained. The system prototype meets the design criteria. The implementation and performanceanalysis of this design project will be finished in the Spring semester of 2011 (The project is stillongoing when the paper is finalized).

One groupperformed all labs using Electronics Workbench, and the other group performed all labs in thehardware lab. The two groups performed almost identically with the mean course grade being71.8 for one group and 71.9 for the other.

Further, we posit that utilization of an assessment instrument,the learning statement (LS), can be used to both enable and assess studentlearning. In our course, AME4163: Principles of Engineering Design, a senior-level,pre-capstone, engineering design course, students learn by reflecting on doing bywriting statements anchored in Kolb’s experiential learning cycle. In Fall 2016we collected over 11,000 learning statements from over 150 students.

Much of the survey is quantifiable using a 5-point Likert scale, but written responseswere also gathered. While many different experiments are possible with the RC (see LTUsample laboratory assignment in Appendix B), the survey is general enough that it is likelyapplicable to any college using the unit.

Later, a feelingof disillusionment usually sets-in as we realize the enormity of the work ahead. This sometimesleads to chaos among our co-workers to determine who should be doing what. Then seniormanagement often begins to search for the guilty parties, leading to the punishment of theinnocent and promotion of the non-participants, and finally the re-definition of the projectrequirements.An engineering design project may be the most difficult assignment for an engineer, requiringthe integrated and competent execution of: 1. engineering principles and
