emphasis in industry and research laboratories is to more tightly couple test-ing and simulation-using test results to validate simulation models and simulation results to designexperiments. For example, finite element analysis is used to identify how best to support and excitea structure to produce a particular vibration, and modal test results are used to establish “modalassurance criteria” on finite element simulations. This paper presents two laboratory exerciscs that demonstrate the importance of couplingcomputer simulations with experiments for mutual validation. The exercises from a new coursein “Acoustics, Noise and Vibration” at GMI Engineering & Management Institute also introducestudents to tools and practices used extensively

, American Society for Engineering EducationDiscussion and ConclusionThis active laboratory exercise was not only fun but constructive in teaching sophomore-levelstudents fundamental mechanical properties of everyday materials. The early placement of thelaboratory exercise in the quarter allowed for the students to be introduced to mechanicalproperties as hands-on, experimental phenomena first, which were then reinforced withclassroom definitions of these terms. This laboratory exercise introduced simple testing of stressand strain that is emphasized in later laboratory sessions on tensile testing (of metals andpolymers) and compression testing (of wood and fiberglass composite) using a load frame. Thislaboratory exercise was a useful reference

In the past, most of the incoming students had considerable hands on experience, and it could be assumed that students had some experience with basic tools and common machinery. Today, Page 2.347.6 however, students generally have little or no exposure to mechanical devices. Instead, students may have much more experience with computers. Experience with simple and complex engineering systems must come from modern instructional laboratories and the design course sequence.2.

This provides alearning advantage over simply watching a simulation because students are required to do theexperiment themselves using physical movements similar to those used in the real world. As aresult, they learn the procedure by performing it, and will have better recollection of SEMimaging procedures when required to use a real SEM later on.In order to gauge the efficiency of the VR laboratory in teaching students correct lab procedures,a group of 12 students was introduced to the VR lab and asked to complete an experiment.

BackgroundIn the latter part of 1995, Old Dominion University's Department of Physics started adopting amore uniform method for teaching undergraduate laboratory courses. Following this change, in1996, the department released the first edition of a comprehensive laboratory manual forundergraduates. This marked a significant shift in the instructional methodology forundergraduate physics at ODU. The development of virtual laboratories is set to enhance thisteaching approach further. With the integration of pre-arranged educational materials, includingvirtual labs, educators will be able to adhere to uniform teaching standards. This uniformity willensure that students receive a consistent and coherent

pedagogy of teaching chemical reaction engineering is continually advancing through theuse of new computational tools such as POLYMATH and MATLAB; interactive computer ap-plications; and a new emphasis in textbooks on relating theory to industrially relevant chemicalreactions. What is currently lacking in this area are chemical reaction engineering experimentsthat employ realistic reaction engineering systems. Nearly all of the reaction engineering ex-periments, reported in the literature, employ simple experiments that can be described using asingle overall reaction. In addition most laboratory experiments do not examine the process fluidmechanics of the reactor and how this effects the product distribution. As a result, students onlyvisualize

In addition, each student needsto submit a term paper or case study focusing on any specific application area ofergonomics towards the end of the semester. For each assignment, the students wereasked to study and investigate the ergonomic issues from their daily life accessories,classrooms and laboratories and offer possible solutions for the non-ergonomic designsand issues.

) is ready for the thirdphase in its Learning Spiral. This third phase, Application, takes place in the laboratory(or field). In this phase, the students are asked to put the Theory to use. By doing so,students will better understand How? An effective strategy to use in this phase isproblem-based learning. Laboratories serve this role well. Students work on thelaboratories in groups of 3-4 to elevate mastery through cooperative learning where thestudents are essentially teaching each other. Typical laboratory topics are presented inTable 2. The laboratory experiences are designed with the data analysis technique inmind. Datasets appropriate for application of the companion statistical topic must becollected, for example. Each laboratory
