Researchers working in labs and research centers use lab automation tools, such asNational Instruments’ LabVIEW7, to automate experiments. Connecting different types ofinstruments to computers to control experiments and acquire/analyze data is crucial toperforming some experiments. In other cases, it speeds up the experiment significantly, resultingin increased productivity.

a series of sequential investments based onthe success of previous investments. Many projects involve multiple stages, and multi-stageeconomic analysis is often necessary. An example of a multi-stage project is pharmaceutical drugdevelopment, where new drug products must pass a series of clinical trials, and where successiveclinical trials are performed (or not) depending on the success of the previous clinical tests. Thatis, Phase II tests are only performed if Phase I tests are successful, and Phase III testing isconducted only if Phase II is successful. Staged funding also occurs in many other largeprojects, where new ideas pass from concept development to product design and development toengineering, creation of manufacturing capacity

This paper describes that approach.IntroductionThe first design experience that integrates mechanical engineering fundamentals occurs in thefirst semester of the junior year—Mechanical Design I—and is composed of a well connected setof hands-on tasks to teach the course concepts. This course uses the topic of linkages to teachstudents how to integrate the previously taught concepts of computer programming,mathematics, CAD, dynamics and communication skills in a semester-long design project.During the entire semester, all the lectures revolve about one major design project.

environments are adapting new methodsof conveying information to students. Projectors have long replaced television sets, pre-recordedvideo programs are incorporated into otherwise monologue-like lectures, and the internet-enabled computer has found wide acceptance as an interactive medium. In higher education,many universities have designed classrooms with extensive, yet also costly audio-visualproduction equipment geared towards offering long-distance educational resources, whether bymailing recorded media or making it available online. In most cases, the benefit of these high-cost resources is justified by business decisions of reaching beyond the resident student body.The advantages of recorded media are manifold and require little justification
