Students noted that working in a researchlab gave them more time to process information, develop questions, and build relationships withpeers and mentors compared to their class experiences. We discuss the implications of thesefindings and offer suggestions for encouraging students’ curiosity in both class and research labsettings.

However, there were negativeresponses in the replication study, whereas only positive responses are reported in the baseline.The negative reaction was targeted at the industry professional pre-selecting writing topics forthe course, but many students also deemed this a positive. On the plus side, students felt thathaving the industry professional provide a pick list of topics to write on created less stress onthem to find a topic and provide confidence that their research would have real-world relevance.On the negative side, at least one student objected to not being able to research their owninterest, indicating a misalignment between student areas of interest and the industryprofessional’s area

Several types of competitive projects have been completed by seniors in the ElectricalEngineering Department at the Air Force Academy. We discuss the goals and requirements for theseprojects and offer ideas for many other feasible design projects. Finally, student system integration issuessuch as scheduling, manpower, and cost are considered in light of competition.

IntroductionIn the academic and industrial communities, remote real-time control of processes is receivingconsiderable attention. Various technologies are developed to perform the remote real-timecontrol using Internet-based technology. LabVIEW is one of the well-known software packagesused in process control applications [1]. LabVIEW uses various protocols such as TCP/IP,DataSocket, etc. that allow remote control using Internet. This paper describes real-timeON/OFF control [2] of a temperature-control experiment remotely using the DataSocketcommunication protocol in LabVIEW for a distance education laboratory.Several universities have developed Internet-based process control

IntroductionMany of the thermo-fluids courses, and in particular Thermodynamics, are often taught withtraditional teaching methods and textbooks. Thermodynamics, in particular, is prone to elicit anegative impression from students "who perceive the subject as dry and abstract.”1 While therehas been progress in recent years, there are still limited visual aids depicting actual equipment orindustry settings. Even though the topics covered often have a real-world basis they are generallysimplified and only offer a superficial impression of industry applications. This
