that can be tackled with simple tools and small budgets. We have createda Freshman seminar subject at MIT in which the students build and modify a kit-based modelrocket. In parallel we discuss the elements of rocket physics and guide them in creating theirown predictions of the what the acceleration curve should look like for the rockets. Their goalfor the term is to collect the data needed to test their predictions. To accomplish it, they build acompact microcontroller circuit that can log acceleration at 1,000 samples per second. Duringthe term, the students learn the basics of programming the microcontroller and explore its uses inthe laboratory. At the end of the term, the class goes to a large open area, launches the rockets,and returns

Toaccomplish the important, necessary tasks for teaching was not possible, given the number ofengineering faculty employed. Faculty were required to carry 12 semester hours of class and 12office hours each semester. With required laboratories, the student contact hours increased evenmore. At the time of the study, the department had ten full time faculty members. Of the ten,one was the department chair and another was the associate dean both of which had thecommensurate administrative duties further increasing faculty workload.

Following this, the course changed its meeting time from three times aweek to four times a week. It now uses a 2+2 format: two days of lecture per week, with eachlecture day followed by laboratory time to facilitate material understanding by hands-on practice.

curriculum is formed by a merger of manycurriculum subspaces, which are the unique curricula for each non-EE area. Each curriculumsub-space is designed independently for one non-EE engineering field and includes the requiredtopics and their associated depth of coverage. The intersection of curriculum subspaces forms thecore of the final curriculum that will be taught in the lecture portion of the class. The areas thatare unique to each non-EE field forms the web-based curriculum. The laboratory will also bedesigned accordingly: some in-class lab experiments will be designed to address the needs of allnon-EE majors, and some in-class as well as web-based lab experiments, will be designed toaddress the special needs of each non-EE field.We started by

theonline group (16.0%). The Circuits course is the first course in Electrical Engineering (EE), andis therefore more important to EE majors than to students majoring in other fields of engineering.It can also be inferred that the perceived importance of the Circuits course to EE majors may beone of the reasons why fewer of them take the class online. Another advantage of the on-campusgroup is the number of students who were concurrently taking the laboratory class for Circuits.A majority (83.3%) of on-campus students were taking the Circuits lecture and laboratorycourses simultaneously while only 12% of the online students were enrolled in the laboratoryclass. The laboratory class gives students opportunities to apply and experimentally

environmental burden of a product, process or activity byidentifying and quantifying material and energy usage and waste outputs at every life stage.LCA involves three steps: identification of scope of analysis, life cycle inventory, and impactanalysis. Such an approach has two attractive features for engineers. First, it is a rational andquantitative process that is easily appreciated by engineers. Second, because it examines allstages of the life cycle, it allows engineers to easily identify what design or processimprovements will lead to the greatest reduction in environmental impact.The present paper will describe a laboratory experience used in a senior level materials andprocess selection design course developed by the author.

This isattributed to the rougher surface finish the schedule 40 PVC pipes use that causes disturbance inplaner wave. For higher performing samples i.e. fiberglass and cotton shoddy, the agreement inperformance is acceptable.We believe the tube is very useful for instructional purpose as well as conducting relativecomparisons among various acoustic materials in order to rank order the test materials withoutrequirement of expensive laboratory testing or similar test practices.
