However, lab courses that are an integral part of most engineeringdisciplines are often perceived as an obstacle for converting the corresponding programs intoonline and hybrid formats [2] - [5]. While software-based simulations may alleviate this problem[6], simulations alone can rarely provide sufficient hands-on experience that is critical foreffective learning [7]. On the other hand, the lab-in-a-box approach allows students to learn hands-onengineering skills, while using a portable and affordable yet versatile measurement device, suchas the Analog Discovery kit designed for Electrical Engineering (EE) laboratories [8].

By design, engineering analysis was developed in the mid-1990s to create a single unifiedcurriculum taught by engineering professors during the freshmen year, and this shift towardsengineering courses to freshmen was largely successful. At the time, the preparation level ofincoming students in math and physics was relatively uniform, and the curriculum wassufficiently advanced that the playing field was relatively even.The first three quarters of the EA sequence are required for all engineering majors.

Looking inward towards the academy, practicing academic integrity during students’formative educational years is often thought of as an engineer’s first steps into the professionalengineering scene. However, such academic integrity practice does not always go well.

To address this issue, the authors adopted aproject-based learning approach in two introductory material science classes.

-space to another can be accomplished in infinitely many ways. These features allow asystem to be controlled. If a system needs to track an input, its output is measured and used asfeedback to construct an error function. By the application of the controller, this error is reducedas close to zero as possible. The manner, in which the error is brought to near zero, dictates theresponse of the system. Some of the methods used in control system design aim at minimizingintegral square, L2 norm, H∞ norm, etc. of the error [1]. One of the most common types ofcontrollers is a Proportional-Derivative-Integral (PID) controller. This approach of controlsystem design can be applied to any dynamic system.The teaching-learning system that is composed of a
