additional component of the new format of the laboratory consistedof more hands-on opportunities being created for the students. Accordingly, in the problem-based module, the students were required to design and build a setup that allowed them toinvestigate experimentally a theoretical problem of their choice (upon approval by the labinstructor). For these experiments, the students were required to develop the laboratoryprocedure and the experiment handout such that a third party would be able to perform theexperiment without guidance. A set of measures was designed and implemented for eachlearning module. An assessment of student learning and development over time was performedusing these measures.

The students use graphical programming to control the motor and record its response utilizing the myDAQ as an interface between LabVIEW and the DC motor. Lab experiments that emphasize on design, simulation, and development of virtual instruments to implement motor control have been developed. These experiments train students in various topics of control system theory, such as identification, modeling, speed, and position control.

Mastery was set at a level of three on the five-point scale. When assessing SP18 and W19 studentreports against both the TRAD rubric and the SBG rubric,several findings arose. Regardless of the rubric usedduring the quarter, students scored higher with the SBGrubric than the TRAD rubric as shown in Figure 1,thereby, alleviating concerns that grades will decreasewith SBG implementation (p=0.01). A possibleexplanation for this observation is that the TRAD rubricpenalized students for mistakes that were not

Through these hands-on experiments, students may easily use scaledmodels to test the theories and implement their own innovations to examine how structuresbehave. However, the opportunity to conduct such experiments may not always be available tostudents due to many restrictive factors such as the lack of equipment, room capacity, testingschedule, accessibility of the facility, and safety considerations.

the development of remote laboratories is the use of apersonal computer (PC) that needs to be connected with an experiment. This increases theimplementation costs of the remote laboratory facility when only a limited part of the processingpower of a PC is needed for this development. In addition there needs to be a server to facilitateclient access to the remote experiments. All these make the sustainability issue of remotelaboratories more pressing.6 To address this issue, this paper will report the design anddevelopment of a remote laboratory system in which a commercially available Arduino systemwill replace a PC. This will reduce the implementation costs as well as the physical size of thesystem. An Arduino system comes with a web server

primary benefits of having students work on these multidisciplinary projects is thatthey must learn how to communicate well in order to be successful on a large team, which isvirtually impossible to teach without some form of experiential learning opportunity. This istruly a “real world” experience, because undergraduates who excel at designing a complexelectrical subsystem capable must also learn how it can be integrated into a larger system withother electrical, software, and mechanical components. Testing becomes critically important inthe overall system development process, and students learn very quickly that clearly writteninterface control documents can alleviate a great deal of redesign.

mechanicalexperiences, such as fixing cars or tractors at home. The “feel” for mechanical things is alreadythere; you push it, and it moves. This is not always so with electrical things.In order to present electrical concepts to students unfamiliar with electricity, analogies arehelpful. Some thought experiments and analogies are presented to help communicate electricalconcepts to lay people, and have recently been used to successfully explain basic electricalconcepts to children 10 to 14 years of age. Actual laboratory experiments, using water resistors,water capacitors, water ammeters, water voltmeters, and balloons, have been used in laboratoryexperiments in our curriculum for several years, and these experiments have become eagerlyanticipated in the basic
