Accordingly, during the two long semesters in 2022, we tested ourinnovative online lab teaching strategies in the laboratory sessions with the following activelearning strategies in the laboratory sessions by a) developing and implementing open-endeddesign experiences into lab work, b) establishing teamwork in online labs, c) creating an onlinelearning community and to overcome isolation, and d) incorporating pre-lab simulations and pre-lab video demonstrations. These core lab learning strategies were applied in five EE courses:Circuits, Electronics I & II, Microcomputers, and

them. However it is best that this input be solicited in a formal setting in the middle of the course after the students have some understanding of the course material. Using a third party facilitator, expert in post-secondary instruction, encourages students to be open, thoughtful and responsible with their feedback.• When introducing non-traditional teaching methods such as group assignments it is necessary to reiterate the importance of these assignments throughout the course. If an immediate benefit (such as performance in a subsequent laboratory course) can be shown the students will be more receptive .• Teaching is a dynamic process.

Page 14.269.5The first compromise relates to the material that is selected. Rather than attempt to teach all ofthe material that might normally be associated with a 2000-level course in any one discipline, thechoice was made to pare the material to that which is essential to provide sufficient depth for thestudents to understand the related laboratory exercises.

The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate the relationship between force and rateof change of momentum. In an undergraduate fluid mechanics course, theoretical equations forrate of change of momentum are usually derived from the Reynolds transport theorem.Almost all technical teaching equipment companies such as TQ equipment, EDIBON, and USDidactic produce and market an apparatus for the measurement of force on solid surfaces due tothe impact of a water jet.

An important element here was (and is)the use of regular faculty from across the departments of the College in the first- year courses toprovide significantly more interaction between first- year student and engineering faculty, whichestablishes a sense of identity with or belonging to engineering.

Even though thelimitations in technology such as delayed response to questions and jerky video are somewhatdistracting initially, they seem to become less noticeable over time. The largest advantage tomost students from this program appears to be in the form of small class sizes and individualattention received from the faculty in FSU courses - all the recitation and laboratory sessions aretaught by the faculty as no teaching assistants are available locally, as opposed to the coursesoffered at larger universities.

basic thermodynamic principles and assumptions.This experiment has several safety and operation concerns that make it very time consumingduring the laboratory. The nonlinear and transient response of the system to user control makesit difficult for the students to initially operate, at least within safety margins. While exposure tothis nonlinear nature is very educational for the students the amount of time taken to get a “feel”for the system limits what can be accomplished experimentally. In addition, the previousapparatus used for this experiment experienced a catastrophic failure when the students used itimproperly, making safety and supervision during this learning phase a primary concern.Through a MSU Presidential Teaching Scholar
