inexpensive Hands-On Learning Module (@HOLM™) fluid mechanicslaboratory kits paired with an online undergraduate fluids mechanics course, which can beseamlessly inserted into any ABET-accredited baccalaureate mechanical engineering curriculum.The physical kit is small and inexpensive, enabling it to be shipped to a remote learner who thenassembles each experiment, collects data, and performs analysis at his/her location. Kitexperiments retain all the features, robustness, and rigor of full-scale brick-and-mortarlaboratories.Here, data collected from one laboratory kit beta-tested with junior and senior mechanicalengineering students is used as an example. Analysis of both indirect and direct assessmentsindicates that learning outcomes are achieved to

a small scale, prepares students for future, larger research projects. At afundamental level, students have the opportunity to explore research in their field of interest anddeveloped a general sense of whether they would like to pursue research further in their career.With a focus in many universities on providing more research experience for students, providinga structured yet creative research methods experience expands the availability of researchexperience to a greater number of students. Here, we detail the development and initial findingsof an inquiry-based, engineering-wide undergraduate research course.MethodsThe Course We developed the course content and syllabus by obtaining input from a number of researchfaculty in our

Before this he was a Director of the Centre for Real-Time Information Networks (CRIN) - a designated research strength at the University of Technology, Sydney focused on blending embedded systems and telecommunications in addressing real-world problems. He is also the CEO of the not-for-profit organisation The LabShare Institute, and past President of the Global Online Laboratory Consortium. Professor Lowe has published widely during his more than 20 year teaching career, including three textbooks. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Non-Expert Sensor Based Laboratory

the techniques. In an effortto reduce these hurdles and encourage more faculty to use these methods, we have created adigital, open-access course package for two chemical engineering courses, thermodynamics andmaterial and energy balances. These course packages can also be used as templates for facultywho want to develop other courses that are student-centric and involve active learning. Many ofthe resources within the package stem from our online inventory of over 1,400 ConcepTests and1,000 screencasts. These encompass topics in core chemical engineering courses, but manytopics are also common to other engineering disciplines (i.e., fluid mechanics, heat transfer,thermodynamics, material science, and computing). The course packages use

objectives, an Internet search ofweb sites from universities, colleges and programs was conducted for courses entitled“Introduction to Engineering”, “Engineering 1”, or courses with similar titles. A team ofundergraduate research assistants was tasked with executing this Internet search and summarizingresults in cooperation with the principal investigator during the 2012 spring semester. Researchersused common search engines to search for “introduction to engineering” and similar terms. Whensuch a course was identified, an additional search for the course syllabus was completed. Eachsyllabus found was reviewed to ensure that the course was meant to apply as a commonengineering course rather than a technically oriented, discipline specific course

Three examinations were given throughout the semester and collectivelycover all of the topics in the syllabus. Thus, a student's performance on the in-courseexaminations can be directly compared to their performance on the final examination. Averagedin-course examination grades are moderately correlated with student's previous academicperformance as measured by PGPA, with an average correlation coefficient of 0.486.

The students used Microsoft Word and graphing software to ‘create’ their labnotebook components. Once their work was written, the students submitted their electronic filesinto the dropbox of Blackboard. Woerner reported that the students found typing equations to betime-consuming, and noted that pre-lab work went very well using the course managementsystem.Hesser and Schwartz12 described a General Chemistry course at the University of New Haventhat used iPads in

The teams are mentored by faculty, otherAT ‘lead users’ and graduate students who themselves have successfully completed thedepartment’s product realization courses and training.The initial session of the REV/T that focuses on AT coursework covers product design anddevelopment with a particular emphasis on AT. The textbook “Product Design & Development”by Ulrich and Eppinger serves as the primary text for the course. The course work is deliveredthrough a series of online multi-media lectures and homework followed by a weekly two to threehour in-class session where the teams work through the principles or methods learned from
