small solar and windmodules. Therefore, there was a critical need for virtual experiments. Thus, the VR modules weregenerated based on the DeLorenzo laboratory manuals and activities, improved by the instructors of thecourse.Laboratory Structure: The on-site and virtual laboratory experiments are designed: 1) to reinforce andsupport the lecture-based courses; 2) to emphasize the importance of corroborating the results ofexperimentation, measurements, and data analysis; 3) to expose the students to renewable energytechnologies, characteristics, performances, and principles of renewable energy systems. To achieve theabove purpose, the virtual reality laboratory experiments, upon final implementation, will be divided intotwo levels: Level I

The first course entitled Computer-AidedManufacturing will cover topics such as (a) Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing; (b)Design for Manufacturing and Automation; (c) Group Technology; (d) Computer-Aided ProcessPlanning; and (e) NC/CNC Programming. These topics will bring a new learning experience forthe students. With the use of the IRAM Laboratory and knowledge of process planning, studentswill be able to program the system to identify the material used to manufacture a product and therouting each material must take through the MHS to be processed. Also, when combined withprior programming skills, the students will learn how to convert computer-aided process plansinto NC programming code. This will allow for

few students thatwork in the electrical power sector of industry do have prior knowledge of electrical powerindustrial software.A virtual electrical power systems laboratory is used in the EET-3334 course in conjunction withthe theory and application of the lecture. This virtual electrical power systems laboratory allowsa variety of electrical power systems to be designed effectively with minimum cost. In addition,the lab use of industrial software allows the students to practice using a tool that typically isrequired later when they work in industry. The students in the virtual electrical power systemslab first learn basic theory power theory using the Electronics Workbench / Multisim software.The students then learn to program some small

Instructors often use photos, videos, and physical models to illustrate structural steelsystems and the failure mechanisms associated with different types of steel members. However,students still struggle to understand many of the failure mechanisms and rarely have anopportunity to experience full-scale testing as an undergraduate student.

Fully interconnected units now define a common goal of reducing costs andimproving productivity and replace the original independent and unrelated experiments. The newstructure also allows us to easily incorporate design concepts, such as cost analysis andenvironmental compliance, into the laboratory. The objective of the re-designed course is toprovide a realistic structure that is congruent with what students will experience when they enterthe workforce as chemical engineers. The new laboratory structure is also designed to fosterleadership, creative thinking, composure under uncertainty and the critical review of information.Furthermore, with the new

This year, because of the pandemic, McMaster University faced a major challenge, as wellas an opportunity to transform the educational experience for over 1200 first-year students whocould not attend lectures, labs and design studios in person. To promote student hands-onexperiences online virtual laboratory activities were introduced. Many of these activities wouldprovide effective learning opportunities even after the end of the pandemic and the return to inperson instruction. As universities around the world preparing for the post-COVID-19 environment, it isimportant to leverage lessons learned from the ‘emergency mode delivery’ of digital tools (suchas remote and virtual labs, and simulator-based experiments) during the

Not only have students developed betterexperimental skills, they also gain an understanding about the design, implementation, andtesting of different control algorithms. The use of the laboratory experiments has generatedpositive results. The students’ reaction to the experiments has been very good and interest in thecourse has been increased. The students seem to appreciate the “feel” that they gain from thelaboratory course. Additionally, the students commented that more formal instruction ofMATLAB/Simulink in courses prior to the laboratory control course would be helpful. Theresponses were generally

This paperprovides such a force balance design, along with detailed evaluation and benchmarking tocharacterize the accuracy of the force balance. Our force balance uses readily available materialshaving a total cost under $125. Static load tests show that the force balance is accurate with amean absolute percentage error of only 2.5%. We demonstrate the system’s usefulness andadaptability with classic examples of measuring drag on a sphere and characterizing aNACA 0012 wing, as well as with measuring lift on a foldable wing
