Hands-on ability is considered an important characteristic of practicalingenuity2. Two of the ABET criteria address hands-on skills: ability to design and conductexperiments and interpret data (criteria b); and ability to use the techniques, skills, and modernengineering tools necessary for engineering practice (criteria k)3. Employers value hands-onability and routinely ask recruits about hands-on experiences outside of classes4. A “tinkeringdeficit” has also been identified that puts females

The classproject is divided into two parts: experimental and modeling. For the experimental part, studentsutilize a temperature-controlled bioreactor to measure the product formation from the enzymaticbreakdown of cellobiose to glucose. For the modeling part, the students develop a mathematicalmodel to predict the conversion of cellobiose to glucose in the bioreactor. They have one, three-hour laboratory period to collect data from the reactor. The students then compare theirmathematical models to experimental data from the bioreactor and determine if the model isacceptable or

Student technical writtenand oral communication are embedded in courses spanning the undergraduate experience,traditionally leaving the basic writing skills to be addressed in composition or English courses. Arecent restructuring of the University’s core curriculum heightened not only the practice ofwriting across the curriculum but emphasized the practice of writing in the discipline. Toaccommodate the new core curriculum, it was necessary for each engineering program at theUniversity to redesign one of its courses to be designated writing intensive.The Mechanical Engineering curriculum at the University of New Haven, even prior to the newcore, included a sequence of 3 laboratory courses, each

Switching Regulator OperationIntroductionAt the University of Virginia, we have experienced increased student interest in alternate andrenewable energy topics in Electrical and Computer Engineering over the past five years. Thishas presented a challenge, as we currently only offer a single "Electromagnetic EnergyConversion" course, which is in a lecture format with a required associated laboratory section.To address this challenge, we have been systematically phasing out older topics, i.e., D.C.motors, and adding course content relevant to photovoltaics and wind energy production, i.e.,microgrids [1]. This has necessitated a redesign of some of our laboratory experiences andrequired us to reconsider the most efficient way to transmit a breadth of

Before introducing this experiment to our Fundamentalscoursework, students at the University of Virginia would never see this concept without takingour course in Electromagnetic Energy Conversion in which they would deal with polyphasesystems. We also realized that having a lab bench accessory that would produce phase-shiftedsinusoids could be employed as a teaching tool for reinforcing concepts in superposition andoperational amplifier circuits, as well as phasor analysis.Our design is shown in Figure 7.

The experiment uses opacity of a liquid solution as a surrogate for chemicalconcentration of a reactant thereby allowing a change in concentration to be relatively easilytransduced with a light source and photodetector.The experimental hardware consists of a stand in which a transparent beaker with two reactantsis placed.

InstructionMotivationUndergraduate engineering programs seek to train students in the process skills of engineering,which include designing hypotheses, identifying and synthesizing relevant literature, interpretingand analyzing data, and presenting findings [1]. While engineering educators routinely reportthat engineering process skills are critical, many report difficulty teaching students these skillsdue to time constraints [2]. Librarians, who specialize in the organization of information anddata, are well-equipped to help biomedical engineering (BME) educators address some of thesegaps in their students’ learning [3]. This project sought to determine whether integrating aspecialized information literacy curriculum into a BME laboratory course sequence couldimprove
