who was also a veteran with significant electrical T&ME experience was sought out. Theveteran expert was only helping with the electrical T&ME. Other responsibilities, such as labsetup or grading, were handled by a traditional teaching assistant and laboratory instructor. Theveteran lab instructor assisted in all lab sessions and provided limited outside assistance as welland was paid $1,500 for the semester. This was all made possible by a newly mandated upper-division classroom fee structure, which enabled a number of previously unfunded educationalideas to be implemented.This paper describes the results of a one-semester trial starting with our Circuit Analysis lab.This is the first lab in which traditional electrical T&ME (e.g
