Wankatindicated that from 1998 to 2002 only 5.2% of all published articles in the Journal ofEngineering Education used laboratory as a keyword [5]. Much of the concentration has beenplaced on teaching methods and curricula; therefore, interest in laboratory research has becomestagnate as a result. While the authors realize the importance of objectives and assessments to evaluate theeffectiveness of instructional laboratories [6], this paper is primarily concerned with the relativeadvantages and disadvantages of different laboratory methods that can be

purpose is bringing the students closer to real situations thatthey may encounter. Advances in electric machinery, control, and instrumentation systemsand interfaces call for a continuous upgrading of facilities that will support energy conversioneducation. Costs to equip an energy conversion laboratory for teaching undergraduates couldeasily run to a hundred thousand dollars. These prohibitive costs have forced many electricalengineering programs to trade off good quality laboratory equipment for affordable andsignificantly less accurate scaled-down models, thus, usually exhibiting characteristics thatare far from what is considered typical. Moreover, the typical traditional electric machineslaboratories offer very limited access to equipment
