atMiddle Tennessee State University. Traditionally, this course covered number systems, switches,combinational and sequential logic circuits design, and FPGA programming. In recent years,there is a need to introduce microcontrollers to the students in this course. The reason is that ourprogram does not offer a microcontroller course, but microcontrollers are used very often insenior design and could also be used in the course projects of some upper division courses. Theefforts of adding Arduino to the curriculum of Digital Circuits Fundamentals started about threeyears ago. In particular, we have used a low-cost Arduino kit and redesigned two labassignments to teach students how to use Arduino and how to interface Arduino with digitaldisplays and

part of the VaNTH program we have incorporated the use of computational and realisticsimulations into the teaching of respiratory physiology at the Harvard-MIT Division of HealthSciences & Technology (HST). The project is part of the VaNTH-ERC strategic plan to developmodules for a systems physiology domain. In the program of a course on RespiratoryPhysiology, we hypothesized that a hands-on laboratory using simulation would challenge thestudent's knowledge, provide insight into complex interactions, and motivate the students toexpand the material taught during lectures. We also hypothesized that improved learning wouldbe achieved by using a realistic simulator based on a computer-controlled mannequin and acomputer simulator with a

Therefore, a junior level transport lab hasbeen develop in the Chemical Engineering Department of Michigan TechnologicalUniversity to teach basic momentum transport through physical experiments and dataacquisition. The laboratory consists of several experiments that build upon themselves andconvey to the students the concept of momentum transport, specifically frictionallosses. The first experiment deals with the construction of a P&ID diagram of theprocess, followed by an exercise that determines viscosity of various concentrations ofa sugar/water solution. Following that is an experiment for the determination ofdifferential pressure, which is trailed by fluid velocity measurements and Reynoldsnumber calculations. Following the fluid
