An issue that has not been addressedat the present is the faculty time required to administer a web-based laboratory. It isexpected that the time teaching assistants currently spend in the lab will be leveraged intomaintaining the distance learning laboratory and communicating with students aboutprojects. It is also anticipated that faculty time that is now lumped into lecture time andoffice hours will become more distributed in one-on-one interactions with the student. Itis expected that this will become a faculty loading problem that will need to be solvedeventually.In addition, the Internet accessible mobile platform is

DiscussionThis approach of teaching manufacturing processes bridges the gap between theory andpractice that many students encounter in many engineering programs. The laboratory exercisesare designed to maintain the learning interest of students who are more practical thantheoretical oriented.

However, it is both rewarding and beneficial to share a researchlab as well as seek out other labs to become a part of.

maximum and to add material requires removing other material. There simplyisn’t room in the curriculum for another class, so either electives must be traded or themicrocontroller skills must be taught in existing classes.The disadvantage of the integrated approach presented in this paper is that more faculty must“buy in” to the program and be able to teach microcontroller applications, and that some originalmaterial in each course featuring microcontrollers will be replaced. This paper will measurestudent perceptions of the approach taken in order to measure whether the advantages outweighthe disadvantages.The three courses targeted to add microcontroller material at the California Maritime Academyare Computer Programming, the Circuits Laboratory

Many agricultural and biological engineeringdepartments cannot allocate instructors to teach instrumentation courses.

obstacle is thatthe laboratory and shop base that are required for the constant troubleshooting process can causeboth a financial burden and a tremendous increase to the instructor’s teaching load. These obstaclesoften force engineering educators to make necessary compromises which oftentimes replacelaboratory experiments with virtual experiments and “black board” exercises.One way to reduce some of this burden is through the implementation of miniature mechanical toolswith prototyping sensors and measurement systems as a part of the laboratory class. The students canalso use a prototyping board to construct sensors and electronic transducers, which allows the class toget a better understanding of measurement systems. In order to do this, however

Education 1It is generally accepted that learners retain much more knowledge from direct experience thanthey do from the standard lecture format [1, 2]. However, with the continuing trend ofengineering curricular contraction (UMR recently adopted a uniform 128 hour engineeringcurriculum which reduced the ME curriculum by five semester hours) it is difficult to introducenew laboratories to complement traditional lecture courses. Hence, to address the need for more“hands on” experiences in ME279, we created a “mini-lab” experience for students that requiredthem to apply what they learned during the first nine chapters of Norman Nise’s controls text [3]in a laboratory setting. This new project format gave the students a chance to augment

Two faculty members, one with an electronicsbackground and the other with a mechanical background, will run the laboratory sessionsin separate sections with different emphasis to benefit individual groups. Lab Viewsessions will be common to both students. The strategy to adopt two different laboratory sessions and a common lectureformat is to provide a balanced perspective for all majors on instrumentation practices andyet provide an opportunity to take up challenging, individual hands-on, laboratoryassignments to match the

Course content and deliverymethods should be structured to meet the demands and challenges of such a dynamic,interdisciplinary and complex applied science field. Laboratory work is a critical component ofthe engineering education, and a core component of technical programs. Unfortunately, in therenewable energy case, the equipment is expensive, in terms of acquisition and maintenance,requiring adequate space and utility access.

The unique mixture of students has prompted instructors at USMA to work hard to design acourse that is very physical and hands-on. This has been achieved particularly in the area ofenergy conversion systems. Topics covered include vapor power cycles, internal combustionengines, gas turbine engines, and vapor-compression refrigeration cycles. Four laboratories anda tour of a cogeneration facility supplement the thermodynamic concepts. The course is alsobrought to life by some very unique teaching aids.
