. Figure 2.Teaching in a Virtual EnvironmentThe challenge of converting existing local area networking laboratories to VMware is notactually in the changing of experiments. Very little, if any, changes needed to be made to theexisting laboratory experiments. The challenge of converting to VMware is typically of atechnical nature: • Learning VMware- The need to spend time learning VMware so it can be presented to the students. The interface to VMware is fairly straight forward and takes minimal time to learn. Tabs allow you to choose which virtual machine you want to access. (Figure 3) Page 9.1188.5“Proceedings

The course is divided into two sections, lecture and laboratory session.During the laboratory session, the students work at mid-term and final projects, while thelecture the programming, numerical and computational techniques and methods arediscussed. The usefulness of this approach is evaluated by surveys conducted everysemester, and feedback from other educators is highly appreciated.I.

Critics of engineering education argue that educational programs focus too muchon the transmittal of information through static lecture-discussion formats and routine use ofoutdated laboratory exercises. On the other hand, that active learning, learning that involveshands-on experience, significantly improves student comprehension and

The studentswill practice the scaling of input and output variables and loop closure through this exercise.The closed-loop control concept is emphasized through these exercises. The closed-loopPMDCM control is the last assignment of the PID teaching components. The two PMDCMs areconnected back-to-back to form a motor-generator set.

The remainder of this sectionprovides a brief summary of the SLR results.Teaching methods were organized by area of implementation: in-class/lecture,project/laboratory, out-of-class, and other. Overarching trends emerged across methodologicalcategories: ● Best practices focus on ​how students construct knowledge,​ rather than ​how instructors teach​; ● Active learning interventions generally have positive impacts on student learning, especially when they replace (rather than supplement) lecture time; ● Project-based learning tends to increase student motivation in a course, though the

In order to be successful, the program mustprovide an ample introduction to GD&T, while presenting the subject in a stimulating andsuccinct manner. To attain these goals two laboratory units are developed; one unit focuses onthe fundamentals of GD&T and the other focuses on its application.In the first laboratory unit a portable coordinate measuring

We adopted a freezing assay, which simulates ambient immersion freezing ina laboratory setting (i.e., freezing of ice-nucleating aerosol particles immersed in a water droplet),to provide hands-on, laboratory-based education to STEM students at a primarily undergraduateand minority-serving institute (PUI-MSI). With the freezing assay, we instructed more than 60STEM students on fundamental concepts of material and atmospheric science, such
