The detection of AF is quitechallenging and the work on a suitable algorithm to take into account different morphologicalcharacteristics is in process.Students correlate the linkage between the theoretical aspects of signal processing taught in classwith an application to solve a real-life practical problem in the laboratory. This proposed labassignment also leads to open-ended problems and thus will triggers improved creative problem-solving capabilities of the students.In conclusion, a set of laboratory experiments is designed involving signal processing techniquesapplied to solve multi-disciplinary biomedical problems.

In addition, the number of seats in the Design Studio and the capacity of the machineshop are inherently limited. The target level were seniors (4th year) and juniors (3rd year) whoalready have basic knowledge of mechanics, engineering mathematics, and design. The course istargeted primarily to undergraduate students with special emphasis on Aerospace andMechanical Engineering.This course is offered as an elective and seeks to attract students who want to:(1) Experience the conceive-design-implement-operate process for a single, complex component using the latest CAD/CAE/CAM technology.(2) Understand the

years we have used student designed and developed laboratory equipmentwith great success. Typically a student team will design and fabricate a prototype of anext –generation piece of laboratory equipment. Other students are then hired tofabricate multiple production run pieces of the equipment. Student developed laboratoryequipment solves two challenging problems confronting most engineering programs: 1)the need to update laboratory exercises and equipment without adequate funds and 2)satisfying Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requirements fora major design experience within the curriculum.

. These include: 1) The quality of the problems given to the students has increased significantly, thus enhancing the learning experience. Companies are no longer providing projects that are “busy work” type problems, but are now providing real problems to which they expect real solutions. 2) The almost $1 million derived from these projects has funded space and equipment for the senior design students and pass-down equipment for the department. During the last three years, the department has been able to invest more than $130,000 in the capstone design facility. Much of this has gone to new technology. One-third of the computers in the capstone design laboratory are replaced every 6 months. The replaced units are moved to

existence of atool; rather, tools are developed to assist in solving existing problems.A project centered around a centrifugal pump has been developed that is effective in impressingupon freshmen the need for learning analytical tools commonly used in engineering.Approximately 350 first term freshmen work in groups of two to design and fabricate centrifugalpumps that they then characterize. The project is quite sustainable, as the cost of materials perpump is only a few dollars. The freshman students participate on an individual basis in a broadrange of activities that enhance their appreciation of the importance of engineering tools andanalysis.Students design their pump using solid modeling software, giving them experience with partmodeling and

laboratory experiment, but italso has disadvantages, namely students have less class time to learn the fundamentals of twovast fields of study—statistics and measurement.Initially, the content of the IDE’s Data Analysis course was organized in series, focusing onmeasurement topics first and statistical concepts second. This sequential model had twomajor disadvantages. First, because the measurement and data acquisition content wasconcentrated at the start of the semester, many students struggled to remember what they“learned” in the first part of the class when they completed their culminating project later inthe semester, in which they designed their own experiment and then collected and analyzedtheir own data. This phenomenon illustrated that

Thiscourse was created as a part of a ‘common core’ freshmen program, and was intended to providestudents with a multi-disciplinary experience branching the aerospace engineering, electricalengineering, computer engineering, and computer science fields of study. As such, the coursewas team-taught by faculty drawn from each of the various disciplines. Each instructor wastasked with developing lecture and laboratory content which would allow students to developcross-discipline engineering design skills.This paper begins by describing the course goals and objectives as

Since the 1990’s, Dr. Jupina has employed ”active learning” techniques both inside and outside of the classroom using various modalities, including the flipped-lab approach dur- ing the last five years. More recently, Dr. Jupina has also incorporated Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML) exercises into his sophomore and junior-level courses. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 “FLIPPED LAB” APPROACH IN ELECTRONICS DESIGN TO ENHANCE STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCE Department of Electrical & Computer
