processes areencountered in a large number of engineering applications. It is essential for thermal engineers tounderstand the principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer and be able to employ the rateequations that govern the amount of energy being transferred. However, the majority of studentsperceive these topics as difficult.To make the subject of heat transfer a more pleasant experience for the undergraduatemechanical engineering students at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, thestudents are required to take a junior-level heat transfer laboratory. The different experiments inthis laboratory enhance and add another dimension to the teaching/learning process of thesubject of heat transfer. One of the objectives of this heat

These tools may take on a variety of forms, including both engineeringsoftware (e.g. LabVIEW, SolidWorks, COMSOL, MatLAB) and engineering instrumentation(e.g. DAQ, oscilloscopes, multimeters, rapid prototype machines, and machine shop tools). Inour BME curriculum, we aim to introduce students to a broad range of engineering tools throughdirect hands on experiences. While some tools are incorporated into standard 2 hourinstructional laboratories, others are introduced through student-selected, open-ended, multiweekor semester long projects.In this paper, we present a two-project sequence spanning two semesters that was designed tointroduce students to

Given a brief (1/2-1 page) prompt explaining the principle of interest and a list ofavailable laboratory equipment, students are required to explicitly outline the objective,hypothesis, and methods of their experiment, followed by

primarily onhardware design. With the introduction of inexpensive microprocessors, it becomes possible toprovide students with hands-on laboratory experiences to construct simple embedded systems.As these systems have evolved in commercial applications, the number and complexity ofembedded controllers has also increased. A significant portion of the design process must nowfocus on software engineering and the integration of hardware and software. However, mostmicroprocessor-based system courses still emphasize hardware construction [7,8]. In order toaddress both software and hardware issues, it becomes essential to apply an interdisciplinaryapproach [5].Many microcontrollers are used in real-time control systems such as automotive electronics

Hardware circuitsimplemented by students will inevitably possess anomalies and errors which thwart theachievement of a laboratory’s teaching objectives. After some years of development, wehave found that a prepared custom differential amplifier presented on small customprinted circuit board (PCB) can greatly improve the undergraduate laboratory experiencewith advanced analog amplifier circuits. This circuit performs in a predictable,repeatable manner since correct component connections and biasing has been establishedand parasitic circuit elements are fixed. Components within

While virtual and remote laboratories are not new to engineering education, thereis an increasing need for these alternate methods of teaching due to decreased availability of labtime (from increased undergraduate classes) and the rise of remote higher education programs,such as remote graduate degrees and continuing education [4], [5].In this study, we perform a scoping literature review to explore the tools and labs available toPSET educators. Specifically, we focus on virtual and remote tools that might aid in theeducation of continuing education students and programs with rigid curriculums that do notallow for additional lab time.
