traditional teaching laboratory courses with design, build,and test (DBT) activities. In particular, the following principles and methods are adapted: ahands-on experience integrated to abstract concepts discussed in lectures, a clear linkage toindustrial applications, and Design Build and Test (DBT) projects. Specifically, two DBT coursemodules are developed: the heat exchanger and scaled building air-conditioning system. Theproject attempts to improve the relevance of the stand-alone ME lab course to the lecture coursesthrough the execution of DBT activities. This adaptation enhances students’ learning of thermalscience subjects by providing students an enhanced, open-ended design problem experience inthe mid-stage of the curriculum rather than

Comments from the students included:This paper discusses the use of the inductive style in teaching an electrochemical engineeringcourse and gives examples of how traditional laboratories can be integrated with lecture material.In summary to convert a laboratory write-up to an inductive style the following should be done:1. Handout a prelab given to peak the students interest. Have them hypothesize the trendsin the data that will be collected.2. The laboratory work should primarily consist of data collection and analysis using onlygraphical methods.3. Discussion of the lab should take place in the classroom setting. Variable-parameterrelationships should be identified.4. Lectures on the variable-parameter

The process also attempts toincrease faculty accountability for student learning while maintaining an atmosphere of facultyautonomy. Obviously, this is a difficult balance to successfully achieve. Improperlyimplemented, the assessment process presented here can fail due to faculty fear of losing theiracademic freedom.III.
