ofAerospace Engineering from a design perspective in addition to building skills necessary forsuccess in later required courses. The course met for two 50-minute lectures sessions as well as a110 minute laboratory session each week. Students in the laboratory session were split betweenexperimental facilities using for performing the experiments and computational classrooms tofacilitate data analysis and report writing. In order to enable this simultaneous approach to thelaboratory aspects of the course, four fourth-year students were employed as teaching assistantsfor the course, supported by the Lafayette College Division of Engineering. These instructionalassistant students were instrumental in being available for students seeking

In addition, interested teachers selected their preference for research laboratories asthey aligned with their interests. Teachers were chosen on the strength of their application withconsideration given to type (neighborhood, magnet, selective enrollment), geographic diversity,and student demographic of the school in which they teach.

In addition, Fellows receive anadditional $500 following the completion of a post-curriculum
for learning thermal physics and preparing them tounderstand engineering thermodynamics. In this study traditional instruction or standardcourses in physics refers to methods of teaching which do not rely on principles of“scientific teaching” and are characterized by their heavy dependence on lectures,textbook reading and laboratories that are often referred to as “cookbook” exercises10. • What understanding do engineering students have of heat and temperature? Do they have a functional understanding of the concepts of heat transfer and temperature? Does a course in engineering thermodynamics improve students’ fundamental conceptions thermal physics? • After traditional instruction in physics do engineering majors

It consists of three modularparts. The first part includes lectures and laboratories. The lectures consider pedagogicalaspects of experiential learning and subjects related to systems and control design. Thelaboratory activities include the following: (1) assembling sensor systems and implementingfeedback control processes; (2) computer aided design and producing machine parts; and (3)programming robot manipulations. The second part of the course focuses on roboticsprojects. The third part of the course is students' practice in teaching robotics to

The UnitedNations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) defines OER’s as“teaching, learning and research materials in any medium – digital or otherwise – that reside inthe public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use,adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.”, [4]. However, in 2016 astudy by Seaman & Seaman [5] found that only 9% of the overall textbook market wasrepresented by OER textbooks. Furthermore, these resources usually were found for introductorymulti section courses such as math and physics [6], while the availability of engineering upperlevel OER titles is scarce [7].

course occurred that was centered around the shift to digital dataacquisition through the use of virtual instruments (VI’s) based on the LabVIEW™ software.1This paper discusses the development of the VI’s used in the course, the laboratory exercisesthat comprise the course, and the improvements in student morale and report-writing skills thathave resulted from the restructuring of the course.1. Introduction Measurements and Instrumentation (M&I) is a 3-hour, required, junior-level course inthe Aerospace Engineering curriculum at The University of Texas at Austin. A confluence ofcircumstances occurred in the early 1990’s that led to a major restructuring of the course: theearly medical retirement of the principal course instructor; the
