than commuting or forother situations. Regardless of the reason, online classes had been steadily gaining popularitydue to their added benefits and ease of attendance. Additionally, with most students now readilyable to use computers from a young age, the digital and distance courses are easily acceptedby most rising university students. While there are many classes that do lend themselves easilyto an online format, laboratories, design courses, or lab-style courses are at a distinctdisadvantage. Most lab classes require students to be in-person to conduct experiments, or inthe case of engineering labs, the students would be required to analyze or build something toprove an engineering principle. Historically, these classes do not easily

students with practical andsometimes quite authentic experiences of what it means to be a disciplinary participant. One ofthose important knowledge practices is scientific documentation or keeping a lab notebook. Labnotebooks perform a number of key functions. They at once provide a record of a scientist’s orengineer’s work, serve as an important reference for other scientific genres, e.g., future reportsand/or articles, and perform as a kind of journal that enables questioning presuppositions,considering new approaches, and generating new ideas.Given the importance of notebooks, there is surprisingly little scholarship on how to teach theiruse.

Put in ABET EC 2000 context, the laboratory and design module described hereaddresses at least these six ABET Criteria (letters correspond to the ABET Criteria): a. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; b. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; c.

Are we showing students what it means to be anengineer and how engineers help people and contribute to society? Are our youngengineers prepared to successfully integrate knowledge from diverse areas of thesciences, mathematics, arts and humanities, and social sciences, to solve the complexmultidisciplinary problems that the world is facing?

It consisted of measurementexperiments where students were placed in a laboratory setting and used various instrumentation to measurethe effects on flow through different valves and orifices. Students learned about relationships of flow,pressure, and water level by running the experiments, collecting data, plotting, and analyzing thisinformation. Some of the experiments included rotometers, air filtration through a packed column, andflow through parallel and series pipes with valves and orifices.

These bends serve as an analogy to the frictional losses in large systems (the same logic applies here, regardless of the scale).

The faculty design teamwas unable to find such a source commercially at low cost and designed, built, and tested severaldifferent sources. In addition to a transformer solution, two electronic circuits were implementedin the initial trials of the laboratory exercises: (a) digital synthesis using synchronized counters,D/A conversion, and wave shaping, and (b) digital synthesis using EPROMS and D/Aconversion. Each of these three-phase synthesizers was developed with an estimated parts costof less than US$10 (assuming appropriate DC power availability).The design and implementation of the sources
