experimentation, and finally, concrete experience(feeling). We believe students learn better when "hands-on" applications (activeexperimentation) are presented concurrently with classroom theory. Traditionally, students oftenwait between 1– 2 years to apply previously learned theory to an actual application in anexperimental laboratory setting. At the University of Kentucky, we offer an undergraduatecourse in the Chemical & Materials Engineering curriculum called "Heat and Mass Transfer".Recently, our department has been making a concerted effort to bring more experimentalapplications back into the classroom. One such experiment we are incorporating into theclassroom environment is the study of heat and mass transfer and how it applies to such a

Therefore, hands-on laboratories have been an integral part of the engineeringcurriculum since its inception. This presentation will demonstrate the use of a novel low-cost experimental apparatus for use in a typical undergraduate course in control systemstaught to mechanical engineering students, i.e. students with limited exposure to electricalengineering.

Such material still uses text and drawings to explain concepts. In contrast,material written natively for the web can use less text and drawings, and instead useanimations, responsive questions, and interactive exercises. This work compares thelesson effectiveness of electronic textbooks having static content, versus interactive web-native content.

Another issue for electric power system or electric machines students is finding thetextbook problem solutions through the use of routine problem-solving techniques, such asequations and formulae. But the students’ reliance on formulae and routine use of techniques inproblem solving too often leads to poor performance in real-world scenarios. On the other hand,the laboratory sessions in any engineering program particularly in electrical power engineeringare critical as these labs are designed for students in accordance with theoretical course work.Setting and running electric machines, energy conversion and power systems laboratories putseveral challenges and requirements
