for the development of increasingly innovative laboratoryexercises [5]. Accordingly, hands-on laboratories provide great opportunities to satisfy recognizedstudent learning outcomes, such as ABET Outcomes 1, 5, and 6 [7–8]. Laboratory equipment andfacilities require investment of time and money, and a competitive market exists to sell engineeredlaboratory exercises to institutions of higher learning, though some faculty members recognizevalue in development of their own laboratory facilities [9]. In this paper a case is presented wherean innovative laboratory facility is developed with specific aims to inspire and challenge studentswhile putting the onus on them to design good experiments and execute them precisely andaccurately.Course Format

These results are slightly to significantly better than previous paper-and-pencil instruments for measuring intellectual development. We will discuss what our resultsmean for effective assessment.

Peer evaluations as a source ofinformation for small self-directed group work have an appeal because the team members are inthe best position to observe the team skills of their fellow team members. Despite thisadvantage, concerns have been levied against the use of peer evaluations. Abson 5, for example,suggested that peer evaluations can be abused and have undesirable effects on individuals in thegroup.

itpossible for even small companies to create custom chips without the expense of afabrication facility. Most of these foundries support only CMOS, reinforcing itsdominance in electronic design.We believe that electronics courses in undergraduate Electrical and ComputerEngineering curricula must adapt to this new landscape. Specifically, these courses mustfollow the transition from bipolar to CMOS devices and provide exposure to transistor-level design at the chip level. To do this, the laboratory component of such a course mustprovide students with exposure to design at the integrated circuit level as well as withdiscrete components and high-level building blocks such as operational amplifiers.This paper describes the integration of these issues

These urban areas contributeapproximately 70% of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions [1]. This growth presents a paradoxas cities are crucial for economic development and growth yet significantly negatively impact theenvironment. Related to this issue, Canada faces a severe housing crisis, requiring an additional3.5 million homes by 2030 to meet anticipated demand [2]. This goal far exceeds the current rateof new construction. This situation highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions thatbalance economic growth, societal
