Photovoltaic training systems were developedto provide hands-on experiments for engineering technology programs4, 5.In this paper, a practical approach to teaching an introductory-level lab experiment on solarpower systems for indoor is presented. The lab experiments have been included in a junior levelanalog electronics course as a lab component. The target students were junior electrical andcomputer engineering students who had completed a course on basic electric circuits.The approach is to integrate students’ prior knowledge and experiences with basic

provides students with opportunities to gain practical skillsand, with these skills, to increase students’ confidence in their abilities to design and solve real-world problems. Additionally, I have found student motivation and interest to be high, whichleads to increased rates of learning and accomplishment. Since the cost of the components iskept low (approximately $35), all students retain their respective robots and can continueworking with them beyond the completion of the course.IntroductionProviding students with practical hands-on skills in designing, fabricating, testing, anddebugging are important objectives of the junior-level Advanced Digital Logic Design course.This three credit class is required for all computer engineering majors

Following a paper Big Fish II: The lost Science of Story-telling in theEngineering Classroom, Chesney said he had “several faculty ask him for advice on how toacquire the necessary skills to become a good story-teller.”9 Chesney also has many requests “fromstudents in end-of semester evaluations to include more stories in subsequent offerings of thecourse.”10Cindy Walters, North Carolina A & T State University, in a 2007 paper titled Engineering is Life:Storytelling in the Material Science Classroom presented to the American Society for EngineeringEducation offers “several examples of the use of storytelling in an introductory

This gives a chance to easy comparison between what the student knowsand what he should know. The overlay model works well where the goal is to strictly impartthe knowledge of the expert to the student 6. Using overlay model student errors will beinterpreted as a lack of knowledge; the possibility that the student may have incorrectknowledge is not considered. As a result, an ITS using overlay model will only provideinstructional materials that attempt to complete the missing

Once it is decidedhow often an outcome should be measured, keeping that cycle constant is the most importantfactor for the process.Use of Rubrics in Assessment at the Indian UniversityCurrent emphasis on assessment came mainly from “education” discipline. Much of the subjectmatter in education and liberal arts are assessed subjectively. So, use of discrete assessmentrubrics with statements of achievement standards makes sense.

Withthe continuous advancement in technology, education is being reshaped and many universitiesare now offering online programs. This shift in educational paradigm offers students access to awider range of academic resources, without being limited by geographical boundaries, timeconstraints, among others.

“It is not easy to implement this new style of instruction, and I am not yet convinced that Iwill be able to get this style to work for my students. On the other hand, I am not yet ready tothrow in the towel…!” Yost is typical of instructors who struggle to implement ACL and thedifficulties she faced hinder other engineering instructors trying ACL. Additionally, faculty whothink they are using ACL may, in fact, not be using it effectively. Smith (1995) reports that“Many educators who believe that they are using cooperative learning are, in fact, missing itsessence.” Simply putting students in groups and telling them to learn together does notautomatically result in cooperative learning.V.
