research was to develop a hands-on Mechanics of Materials Laboratory coursefor distance education. The resulting course was taught entirely over the Internet usingcomputer-simulated experiments, online remote control software, email, and discussion groupswith a focus on creating a student-centered learning environment. Students also conductedhands-on experiments using small scale testing equipment and participated in an on-campusactivity in which larger more sophisticated testing equipment was used. The students’understanding of the material and hands-on skills were as good as and in some areas better thantraditional on-campus students. This research indicates that a distance laboratory course thatincorporates multi-media computer experiments with

Exploring the Impact of Engineering Extracurriculars on the Undergraduate Engineering Experience 1. INTRODUCTIONAn engineering courseload is a big commitment, yet undergraduate engineering students findtime to engage in many activities outside of required coursework. Research, clubs, jobs, sports,extracurriculars, social activities, and leisure time all constitute attractive ways for anengineering undergraduate to spend “residual time”. The time available to spend on theseactivities, however, is limited to as little as 1.9 hours per

In this paper, a look is taken at the evolution of power electronics programs and theirexisting place within the general curriculum. Results of surveys show that over 100 suchprograms exist, varying in depth from just a course or two to well-funded sequences includinggraduate courses and cutting-edge research.
