York and Ertmer [6] employed a Delphi structure in whichparticipants themselves identified and collectively selected key instructional design heuristics.These methods have successfully identified heuristics in their domains but, as York and Ertmer[6] note, may lack a basis in authentic practice.

There is no formally scheduled lab time for this course; however, usually atotal of four selected laboratory experiences are integrated into the class schedule. Typicallyseveral of the students that take this course are also involved with student organization projectssuch as the national SAE Aerodynamics Design Competition, and there are also occasionalgraduate students in the course.Table 1 below illustrates the basic set of

The accompanying laboratory includes experiments onmeasurement of the IV characteristics of these devices and derivation of small-signal modelsfrom those characteristics. Experimental procedures for measurement of I-V characteristics havebeen in place at the University of Texas at Tyler for a number of years, but the development of“lab-in-a-box” solutions (such as the National Instruments myDAQ) has provided impetus toredesign these experiments to be compatible with that paradigm. To that end, the University ofTexas at Tyler has designed a curve-tracer module that is compatible with the myDAQ andwhich allows students to make direct measurements of I-V

They are tasked with delineating limitations in the experiment, sources of error, suggestions for improvement, alternate methods for exploring the concept, etc. In short, the experiments have been made active rather than having students passively follow a lab manual. d) In the interactive laboratories, the students are evaluated continuously.

For example, sensorsmounted on a wing surface could detect ice formation on the wing using surface active waves.Since the velocity of sound in a given medium is a function of temperature, such sensors are alsobeing used to actually measure temperature. It is important for students to be aware of this newgeneration of materials and to be familiar with the use of these materials for measuringfundamental quantities such as the velocity of sound.
