Prior to 1998,electronics laboratories did not even meet during the first full week of the semester. We oftenspent that week organizing our laboratory equipment, supplies, and assignments. In addition, onemight argue that students lack sufficient background material to undertake a significant labassignment after only one or two lecture periods. On the other hand, career developmentactivities require no particular knowledge of electrical engineering. Thus, students are ready toparticipate by virtue of being at least sophomores in the electrical engineering program.Here we list the career development

The first session was alecture by the speakers from ADED, ADEQ, and Entergy. This was followed by three sessionsby UALR faculty members and an undergraduate student on fuel cell principles and theory,applications, and “hands-on” experiments. Each of the last three sessions included 30-minute in-class lectures and 60-minute “hands-on” experimentation.“Hands-on” Instruction using Fuel Cell Equipment In order for students to have “hands-on” lab experience, a total of six different fuel cellkits were used.

In essence, active learning requires doing meaningful learning activities in groups underthe guidance of an informed and experienced teacher. As stated by Christensen et al (1991), “Toteach is to engage students in learning.” The main point is that engaging students in learning isprincipally the responsibility of the teacher, who becomes less an imparter of knowledge andmore a designer and a facilitator of learning experiences and opportunities. In other words, thereal challenge in college teaching today is not covering

Often in engineering, instructors focus more on what theybelieve is good for the students (and they are often correct), but do not adequately take intoaccount the students’ point of view on the instructional delivery methods and the entireeducational experience. This often results in gaps or mismatches between student expectationsand learning preferences, and faculty expectations and teaching preferences.

. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the students. Building a model, testing a model, generating physical datafrom the model, and analyzing said data, help students alternate between inductive andconductive processes, thus broadening their design vision and their understanding of theexperimental approach to engineering design. There is potentially a real need to research theways to teach engineering
