educationalvalue, and the statistics is provided of student evaluation of the VIs as learning tools in the lab.1. IntroductionTo bring automatic, computer-controlled experiments into teaching laboratories, especially at theintroductory level, where they must be accessible to every student, might be a dream of many labinstructors. There are several challenges on the road to its fulfillment, both on the technical andpedagogical sides. The technical ones include: (a) availability of proper test and measurementinstruments along with computers, (b) successful choice of software, (c) its adaptation to theneeds of Instructional Laboratories, and – nearly inevitable – (d) debugging. The mainpedagogical challenge is to find the wise balance between traditional

The output of the DACs will then be filtered and amplifiedusing a low-pass filter and class B amplifier. The high-level block diagram is shown inFigure 1. Filter- Phase A Amp Filter- Phase B Amp

menu of activities and the effectiveness data to faculty broadly and monitor the adoption “in the wild”. We have completed year one of this project, in which we surveyed faculty on the ways in which they found the original activities challenging to implement. The original activities rely largely on student experiment, and faculty comments discussed how money, space, and time all constrained their ability to assign experiments to small groups of students. Based on this feedback, we have produced four new variations on the inquiry-‐based activities. These involve: a) replacing the students’ experiments with simulations; b) replacing the

Module 2 (session B): The second module exposes the students to problem solving within the context of warehousing and order fulfillment activities. During this module, students work on a picking rack area where parts are located in the appropriate bins and the operator is directed by pick-to-light technology. The students work in teams of 2-5 members to build several orders for a “shift duration” of approximately 5-minutes. The objective of the worker is to fill orders as quickly as possible in order to maximize the number of orders that are shipped on a given day. Once the activity is
