acquired in earlier coursework.” [1] This experience most often takes the form of a “capstone” course, often referred toinformally as a program’s “senior design” course. Adequate preparation in earlier classes isessential for student success in the capstone course, and various curricular approaches have beenundertaken by engineering programs to strengthen this preparation as discussed in [2], [3], and[4].As part of a process of curricular review and improvement, a group of faculty members in theEngineering Department at Loyola University Maryland was tasked with developing a required,semester-long junior design course. There was a general informal perception among departmentfaculty that students entering the year-long senior design course sequence

Various researchers have made attempts toincorporate these requirements in their courses independently. For example, various researchstudies exist on related topics such as problem solving [4-8], course or laboratory projects [9-13],technology in classroom [14-17], teamwork [18-21], experiential learning [22-25], design skills[26-28], etc.BackgroundPublished literature in the past [1-4] presents details about

The School of Engineering and Technology offers a verystrong senior design experience that involves inter-disciplinary student teams.[3,4]During the 1997-98 school year, a senior design team made significant progress on thelaboratory by identifying the six unique lab stations, purchasing or building the systems,and providing development work on each. During the 1998-99 school year, a secondsenior design team is completing the development work in the laboratory, focusing on thegeneral-purpose stations and implementation of the lab exercises for the specializedstations.

The new method of delivery uses self-directed and self-designed experiments by the student to enhance the learning experience. This new framework ofcourse delivery challenges the student to design and implement an experiment that is unique tohim/her. The student is much more engaged in higher order learning since he must first design,understand and then perform the experiment. This is in contrast to the traditional method of thestudent blindly doing

Ultimately, resulting in the manufacture of a fully operational glider aircraft.Development of a carbon fiber wing sectionOnce the visit of the Purdue professor ended, Purdue and IDEXA (Univalle) will team up to workon a Purdue “hands-on experience” class project.

They found that student grades as wellas student attitudes towards the course improved compared to course sections that did not includethe simulation components. In another study, investigators used a problem-based learningapproach to lab design called CLABS [9-11]. This model used prelab exercises that includedsimulation and pre-calculation of values as well as laboratory exercises that tied concepts andtheories to realistic projects. Survey evaluations show that the CLABS laboratory exercises wererated positively for all components of the model.Student experiences in applying the engineering design approach is an essential part of an electricalengineering program

the US has been impacted by the 2020 COVID epidemic, resulting in amassive shift to online instruction. Although some universities have managed to keep somenumber of students on campus on a rotating basis, many courses had to switch with little noticeto a virtual format. While this is reasonably easy to do for a lecture-only course, laboratorycourses by their nature are difficult to switch to an online only version. Past research has manyexamples of attempts to deliver laboratory experiences in a remote or virtual format, but theselabs may fall short of providing a thorough laboratory experience and are not designed to allowremote and non-remote students to collaborate.Feisel and Rosa established the fundamental goals of engineering teaching
