leading to the Bachelor of Engineering degree inElectrical and Biomedical Engineering. Due to the growing impact of robotics on the field ofbiomedical engineering, a new course in Medical Robotics was introduced in 2006 to fill theexisting educational gap in this area. The target audience of this course is primarily fourth-yearundergraduate students of the biomedical engineering program of the department while thecourse is also open to graduate students with interest in medical robotics research. The coursehas no particular prerequisite but the students are encouraged also to enroll in an undergraduatecourse in control systems. Medical Robotics is a one-semester course and has been thought atMcMaster University in the past three (3) years with an

In general, the preference is to use a platform that has:• Wide industry acceptance (usage after graduation): This allows the students to leverage their knowledge into better/more advanced job positions.• Development tools that are quickly installed and are easy to use: There are always questions about compiling, downloading and debugging, and it is important to have local (and online) help tools that can provide solutions to common problems.• Low cost development tools, boards, or kits: A strong suggestion is to have

Aspects of the workshop that were adopted immediately were listing of objectives for each class, development of board notes, movement away from the chalkboard during class and use of colored chalk. The manner for class preparation of board notes, presentation style, and the use of colored chalk and its impact can not be over-stated. Furthermore, the workshop instilled a confidence to conduct class in manners other than routine lecture that was not gained from experience as a teaching assistant in graduate school, as a visiting assistant professor, or from a tenure eligible position for 1 year.

. This paper presents thedetails of this experiential learning activity as well as a formative assessment of its effectiveness.I. IntroductionPrior to the 1950's, it was common for engineering programs to offer in their curricula suchcourses as sheet-metal fabrication, casting, and machine shop. With the advent of computers andmore emphasis on the theoretical side of engineering education, the courses on mechanical artswere gradually phased out with most of hands-on activities reduced and squeezed into thelaboratory courses. This shift in engineering education is mostly responsible for manyengineering graduates to have a very narrow understanding of the product development processthrough which a design concept is transformed into a physical

The volumetric flow rate is obtainedby capturing the effluent in a graduated container over a timed interval. In this manner, the datafor relating pressure drop and flow rate is obtained. The conventional apparatus is shown inFigure 1.Figure 1. The Conventional ApparatusOriginally six sets of apparatus for this experiment were constructed at a cost of about $2,000 to$3,000 per station. The facility needed to conduct the experiment is a standard laboratory sinkwith 12-15 square feet of counter space and approximately 125 square feet of floor space foreach station.

On theABET senior exit surveys used at Bradley University, graduating mechanical engineering seniorsconsistently rate their services courses from the electrical engineering department as among theleast valuable of all their engineering courses.

In addition, becauseACL and PBL typically require teamwork, communication, and tolerance for ambiguity amongother aspects, they are also an ideal vehicle for instilling the attributes of the entrepreneurialmindset in students.Lawrence Technological University implemented a six year process to modify 75% of thecourses in the engineering curriculum to include ACL and PBL.
