Copyright © 2009, American Society for Engineering Educationthe new sequence continues to operate in a lecture/laboratory format. The infusion of hands-onlaboratory exercises has been used over the last three years of teaching this course withtremendous success. For Fall 2008, the course consisted of a two-hour lecture and one three-hourlaboratory session each week, with the course credit hours remaining at three. The combinedlecture/lab offering has been assisted by generous contributions from the USF faculty whodeveloped the WAMI Lab and RF/Microwave Circuits courses, which have been adapted ashardware and software lab experiences for the Baylor course and used in Fall 2008, and byAgilent Technologies [5] which donated Advanced Design System

. Utilizing power line carrier technology eliminates the need forseparate communications lines. The power line carrier communications allowed the utility customer display unitto be highly portable, requiring only an outlet to get both power and communications. From our educational perspective, this project was highly desirable because it utilized all the students inthe class on a single system. It required a wide range of electrical engineering knowledge, so all students madesignificant contributions to the success of the design effort. The class organized into three teams, eachresponsible for a particular portion of the project. This project’s size affords a unique educational opportunityfor the students to experience multi-team coordination

Priority in funding was given to projectsthat would impact large numbers of students or provide critical interventions early in students’learning careers.“Live deep, not fast,” is an admonition coined in the early 1900’s by literature professor, critic,and editor Henry Seidel Canby 1.

It is expected that optical science and optical technology will be at the forefront ofdevelopment of new enabling technologies and devices both in the basic science labs as well asin a clinical setting. Thus, several programs around the country, including ours, are activelyworking on course development in the area of Biomedical Optics.

A long term goal tostimulate research and technology development toward transformational energy solutions willbest be addressed not just by the College of Engineering, but by a campus wide effort.The rationale for RW-E came from students in the trial course in spring 2006 who said that theywere doing more writing in ENGR 101 than in a freshman writing course.

Although a lab session was devoted to going over the basics ofMultisim, some students found the handouts and the online tutorials to be a little challenging.This feedback will be taken into consideration to improve this laboratory course.ConclusionLaboratory experimentation is an essential component of a comprehensive learning experience inengineering and engineering technology

However, most REU trainees are juniors and the post-graduateeducation programs for advanced degrees, especially Ph.D. training, can easily spanfrom 3 to 5 years, leading to a much longer period than the funding period of REUprograms. With this consideration, the final report on REU programs can notinclude the complete
