theirwork.Traditional networking laboratoriesA good network teaching laboratory is essential to support student learning in a Networks course.A traditional networking lab, in addition to the computers, requires networking equipment such asrouters, switches and appropriate connections. The equipment needs to be updated regularly forthe students to be able to apply the skills they learn in the lab directly in the work force.Unfortunately, traditional networking labs are a fairly scarce resource. In addition to the cost ofequipment and updates, it is a challenge to design the lab to allow flexible configurations. Thesenetwork configurations are often not compatible with the campus network.

Laboratory Teaching ApproachThe class was divided into groups of two students for each experiment. The first week of the coursewas dedicated to covering some important concepts of physics relevant to the experiments. Whileconducting the experiments the students were required to plot as they take data, typically afterevery three data points, in order to decide where to take the next few data points. Upon completionof each section of an experiment, interactive discussions were employed between students and theinstructors. This step-by-step method of checking the students

This situation is generally exacerbated by using graduate teaching assistants (GTAs)as a labor saving approach.

They seemto assimilate control systems theory very well and are able to internalize the practical need forcontrols theory.
