to reach higher levels ofunderstanding as depicted in various knowledge taxonomies (Shavelson, et al., 2005).BackgroundMuch has been written about the nature of engineering labs. As technology changes, manypapers have focused on the opportunities to incorporate new sensor technologies, dataacquisition, or real-time control. The incorporation of new technologies does not always result inlabs that are more sophisticated. Counter-intuitively, the availability of new measurement toolsand software can sometimes make difficult concepts more accessible to students.As new opportunities emerge, the bigger question concerns how labs should be structured toelicit deeper levels of learning. For example, several different taxonomies of learning
