This proposal provided a plan to incorporate the vitalconcepts listed above into the existing curriculum via creation of a comprehensive laboratoryexperience based on robot technology. Using robots to teach digital design and non-technicalconcepts in a motivational environment has been used at many institutions [1,2] with greatsuccess including Trinity College in Hartford, CT [3,4]; MIT [5], and the US Air Force

This simplicity is useful because itallows the instructor to focus on essential understanding of the course material withoutunnecessary complexity; however, such simplicity leads students to wonder how to extend theconcepts to more complex systems. Students also have difficulty visualizing the solutions to thedifferential equations that are ubiquitous in such courses 1 . Physical laboratories can help withstudent visualization, but there are practical limits to the number and variety of physicallaboratories that can be given in a course.Recent trends have shown the feasibility of teaching laboratory skills in the area of dynamicsystems and controls through the use of virtual and remote laboratory

Student performance in partially flipped ECE laboratory classesAbstractThe flipped classroom is a relatively new pedagogical method that is based on outside-of-class videolectures and practice problems as homework, as well as active group-based activities in the classroom. Thispaper describes the partial flipping of two electrical and computer engineering laboratory courses andevaluates the students’ performance under the flipped teaching approach. The primary motivation that drovethe first author to flip these classes was the desire to tailor class time to students’ needs, questions, andexperimentation. Both partially-flipped courses are composed of equally challenging modules that coverdifferent topics in digital signal processing and

Butthe current existing problem we are facing is that for each lab course, there is a set aloneequipment. We don’t have a platform that can teach students different applications of theknowledge they obtained from different level of courses. This obstacle greatly hinders theprofessional development of technology students, because they need more hands-on experimentsthan traditional engineering students.In order to better fulfill its departmental primary purpose to prepare students for a successfulcareer in engineering technology and related fields, Engineering Technology Departmentproposed
