At theundergraduate level, the laboratory is primarily used for soft automation education. That is,teaching how to program computer-controlled equipment such as computer numerical control(CNC) machines, robots, and programmable logic controllers (PLC). However, a soft automationapproach should be coupled with a hard automation learning approach if a full spectrum offactory automation education is desirable. Hard automation is a full or near full scale development of an actual automatedmanufacturing and/or assembly workcell using capital equipment such as CNC

The following list of examples demonstrates the nature of feedback we required to debug our programs: a. “The robot tracked the object for a little while then stopped..” b. “The program crashed when the first can crossed the broken-beam detector” c. “The operator pressed the interrupt button while the robot was tracking but nothing happened” 4. The remote student has nothing equivalent to a teach pendant, and this prevents the students from completing a small but important portion of the laboratory exercise. Even if the remote student had a teach pendant, the video image is not close enough for precise positioning. A remote teach pendant would also require careful

The logical solutionto this educational gap is to include experimental laboratories; however, key aspects ofBiotransport Phenomena, e.g., wall shear stress and diffusive processes, are difficult (or too time-prohibitive) to incorporate into a hands-on laboratory experience.In the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo BME curriculum, a set of in-silico laboratory activities havebeen developed using an easy to use multi-physics Finite Element Package (FEA), COMSOLMultiphysics, to augment teaching Biotransport Phenomena.

Anonymous course evaluation data was used to showhow the students perceived the effectiveness of the group selection process and the groupevaluation tool.I. Background There are many different types of engineering laboratory courses. Historically, a labcourse involves students going to a defined space with fixed equipment that is used forhands-on experimentation. Allocating space for physical labs is usually a challenge, but itmight be even more difficult to purchase and maintain the equipment in physical labs andprovide adequate teaching support. In recent years, virtual labs have been used as acheaper alternative to

Most of the experiments are low cost and portable, which facilitates adecentralized laboratory environment where students perform the experiments at their homes orin the classroom rather than in dedicated laboratories.

simplified somewhat from the initialimplementation. In some cases, fewer data points were recorded to determine a trend. In others,the scope of the experimental procedure was reduced. The laboratory measurements in our inquiry-based laboratory exercises are designed toexpose student misconceptions. The students are asked to make a prediction that exposes theirthinking. This is followed with a direct measurement that confirms a correct model or shows theerror of an incorrect model. Finally, our inquiry-based experiments are designed to teach students to apply qualitative aswell as quantitative reasoning. During the laboratory exercises, and on the pre and post-labquizzes, students are asked to predict trends in the measured data before that

Third, the cost of the equipment needed to run the experiments is generally an impedimentto have duplicates or triplicates that would allow for multiple experiments to be carried out bythe students at the same time in a teaching laboratory.

The wind tunnel (shown inFigure 1) was manufactured by AeroLab [13], but is no longer sold. The square test section (sixinches by six inches) has hinged acrylic sidewalls. The maximum air speed in the test section isapproximately 30 m/s.The pipe flow test bench (Figure 2) was built in-house, with funding from a Faculty DevelopmentGrant (total cost: less than $5000). The test bench was inspired by others who designed and built in-house pipe flow rigs or pump test rigs for their teaching laboratories [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19],[20], [21], [22].

The construction engineering program has a course on “PCC and ACC materials” thatincludes a laboratory component that includes four different tests on ACC materials also. The reason mostof the educational institutions do not include tests on ACC for undergraduate students is the safetymeasures the institution has to take for the students and the time consuming procedures for carrying outsuch tests on ACC. For ACC materials testing, the asphalt binder has to be heated so that it can melt andbecome ready for mixing with the aggregates.Basic Civil Engineering Materials course syllabusOver the years of teaching it was found that the students’ feedback on teaching suggests that using hands-on
