In this paper, we will discuss two of these setups: a DC motorwith tachometer, and a temperature measurement system. In the following sections, we willdiscuss the three components of the kits along with our plan for testing of the take-homelaboratory kits.Hardware Interface BoardThe hardware interface board houses all the components that perform measurement, actuation,control, and communication. The hardware interface board was custom-designed and was builtaround a PIC18F4550 microcontroller from Microchip Technology, Inc. A photo of thedeveloped board is shown in Figure 1.

Architectural engineering students are exposed to a broad range of topics including architecturaldesign, building technology, structural analysis and design, mechanical and electrical equipment,illumination and construction management. As part of the humanities and social sciences requirements ofthe cqyiculum, students also complete a three course sequence in architectural history. However, thisthree course sequence is taught with an architectural design emphasis rather than an emphasis on thetechnological or engineering aspects of the buildings studied. The basic

While the pedagogical strategies employed to meet these goals may differ both atthe institutional level and based on their discipline, they can be broken down into a moregeneralized set of learning goals that are common across STEM.

multimedia A continual challenge in teaching is meeting the students’ academic needs and ensuringthat they are active participants in their own education. Over the past decade several studieshave been made to detect students’ learning styles 1-5. These studies conclude that students bestlearn if they are active participants in their education and are exposed, in varying degrees, toeach discerned learning style. Visualizing the dynamic behavior of physical systems is animportant part of the learning process for engineering students 6.

Background A vital part of engineering education is to convey to students the engineeringmarvels that exist and how they were developed. A prerequisite for this evaluation is alsorequires a fundamental review and understanding of the history, design and operation ofthe existing central electric power system. It works so well that it is typically ignored oris taken for granted, except for the very rare system failures that are dubbed blackouts. Itshould always be appreciated as the technological marvel that is now vital to life andcivilization as we now know it.

Others resist consideration of a practice which seems to be yet anotherpaperwork burden.
