• The group is back together for two veteran classes. The first should utilize fairly common classroom technology; that is, nothing beyond a PC hooked into an overhead projection system. Then the group moves to the Advanced Technology Classroom Laboratory for a full blown multimedia class. This should still be recognizable as an undergraduate engineering class.Wednesday Morning • The students give their second full class, each followed by a critique. The topic of this class will be assigned the previous day.Wednesday Afternoon • Teaching Workshop 3 is meant to focus on the teaching-learning connection.

-Level Undergraduate Engineering LaboratoryDuring the 2011-2012 academic year, we implemented a transition from paperbound laboratorynotebooks to electronic laboratory notebooks in an undergraduate experimental engineeringcourse. Experimental Engineering (E80) at Harvey Mudd College is a sophomore-level,semester-long course, involving multiple experiments covering a number of engineeringdisciplines. The objectives of the course are to teach basic instrumentation and measurementtechniques; good lab notebook practice; technical report writing; analysis and presentation ofdata; the usage of experimental results for engineering design purposes; and the beginnings ofprofessional practice. The course explicitly requires learning in multiple

One of the goals is to provide the students withexperience in designing and implementing laboratory experiments, given specificobjectives as well as constraints. The development of the experiments and associatedlaboratory equipment for teaching these courses will be presented. All experiments arecarried out in
