k.Introduction Laboratory activities have been an integral part of the education process for a long time.It is the opinion of faculty that hands-on-activities enhance the learning process. Very fewpersons would like to have their blood drawn from a phlebotomist who had never practiced, buthad only read the book. Typically, engineering courses have the laboratory as either an integral part of the classor a separate free standing course that may or may not be taken with the lecture portion of theclass. In mechanical engineering at Texas A&M University, we have a four-credit juniormaterials and manufacturing course that includes laboratory as part of the course.

Engineering Education, 2013 Using Summer Programs to Excite Secondary Students about Nanoscale Science and EngineeringAbstractNanoscale Science and Engineering (NSE) is a fast growing area of science and engineering thatcrosses all discipline boundaries. Several studies have stressed the importance of includingnanoscale concepts and topics into the K-12 curriculum. One approach that the NationalNanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) has developed to explore NSE topics withsecondary students is through summer programs. At the Georgia Institute of Technology site ofthe NNIN we offer one week camps to introduce a variety of nanoscale concepts. The GeorgiaTech camp provides numerous hands-on activities to explore themes

Recently, this glaringinequity (especially so in the eyes of the students) was corrected and the result was a two-credithour lecture and an accompanying one-credit hour laboratory session (again, resulting in a totalof three hours a week). Part of the reason for this change was the addition of the AXFABfacility, and the formal acknowledgement of increased emphasis on substantial undergraduatelaboratory content throughout the curriculum.The Engineering Materials Science course has always emphasized the laboratory component ascritical towards achieving the documented ABET Outcomes, especially within the structuralmechanics sequence of courses.

In addition, students were exposed to various computersimulation tools such as the “Spectroscopy Lab Suite 25.”Traditionally, topics in Modern Physics are highly mathematical in nature. However, the VQMmaterials are very unique in that they were designed specifically with the non-science student inmind, and hence, require only a minimum background in mathematics. Students taking onesemester of college algebra, which is typical of the students enrolled in the PNM course, arewell-prepared to handle the mathematics involved with the VQM materials.

The ITL approach is upfront and explicit with terms,concepts, vocabulary, and learning outcomes, both for science and engineering content. Forexample, students read about simple machine types, and they are told that simple machines canhelp engineers build complex machines that make work easier. Students then have an experiencewith a device that confirms these statements. In this way, ITL is hands-on and uses active and(some) constructive activities, but it does resemble more traditional methods of curriculumdesign and learner experience.PBIS also has students engage in hands-on materials, however the paradigm and sequence ofexperience are not
