In August 2005, Alabama officials formally announced the location of the Hudson-AlphaInstitute for Biotechnology (HAIB) in Cummings Research Park (CRP) in Huntsville, Alabama,and the creation of a 120-acre biotechnology site to be named the CRP Biotech Campus. Whencompleted in mid-2007, the HAIB will be the second-largest biotechnology institute located onthe second-largest biotechnology campus in the nation [2]. The institute will contain state-of-the-art laboratories for biotechnology and is expected to employ some 400 scientists and staffupon opening.

So many universities also have a separate course forthe advanced design, analysis and performance of the gears at the graduate level.With the aid of powerful computers, many software systems are developed for design andanalysis of gears. The processes from design to manufacturing of gears are automated withthe developed CAD/CAM systems. The developed programs can also be used in theproduction of visual materials in education.The objective of this study is to prepare visual gear design materials for Machine Designcourses and establish a design system in CAD laboratory, so that the students can run theprogram with their own design parameters

Experimentally testing these materialsin a laboratory setting helps students visualize the difference between the failure behavior ofductile and brittle materials. However, there are thousands of other materials which arecommonly used in industry and academia which exhibit different behaviors or are moreinconsistent between samples. These materials may behave differently when subjected todifferent loading conditions such as tension

In a typicalelectrospinning process, a jet is ejected from a charged polymer solution when the appliedelectric field strength overcomes the surface tension of the solution. The ejected jet then travelsrapidly to the collector target located at some distance from the charged polymer solution underthe influence of the electric field and becomes a solid polymer filament as the jet dries.

All too often, however,undergraduate laboratory classes fall short of enhanced learning and are instead more notable forstudent dissatisfaction and/or frustration [1], [2], [3]. There are several reasons for this problem.First, organized laboratory classes are often used to meet numerous student outcomes such asthose comprising ABET student outcomes (1) – (7) [4]. Second, organized laboratory classes areoften taught separately from theory classes, leading to a disconnect from pre-requisite coursesand uneven understanding among the student cohort. Third, organized lab classes often involveteamwork, without specific instruction or guidance on how to work effectively, how to divide uptasks

completionof an OER textbook was entirely altruistic. It is also a personal quest. As former students andnow educators, we have seen the cost of textbooks spiral out of control. We have also observedhow textbooks that were used as part of the education of the first author in the 1990’s, are stillmarketed several editions later with very little change in content, while still rising in cost. Withthat said, I immersed myself in this project to create an OER textbook with a sense of duty, assomething that needed to be done in order to help ease the burden of my students.

thatthe first target of our vision was the need for updating and reconfiguring some spacewithin departmental facilities. The core electronics project lab was chosen to become thenew eStudio Laboratory, targeted for many improvements. The lab had been functioningadequately, but by the standards envisioned by the committee and the department, it wasquite lackluster. It had become a repository for equipment used quite infrequently, and averitable storage space for odds and ends that had been donated, cast off by industry,faculty, and other donors. Few were eager to discard or find a more permanent storagelocation for these cumbersome items, and only after the committee unveiled its vision forthe new space did the separation anxiety begin to
