Paper ID #27852Laboratory Course Development for Biomedical Signals and SystemsProf. Benjamin Hawkins, Cal Poly, SLO My professional interests focus on the development and use of microsystems (biosensors, microcon- trollers, etc) to matters of human health. Primarily this is focused on microfluidics, but also ranges from wearable devices to laboratory equipment. Applications range from cell measurements to ecological ques- tions. Educationally, I am focused on developing courses and content that connects theory to technology in practice, with an emphasis on rigorous understanding of both.Dr. James Eason, Cal Poly San Luis

their learning experience in the laboratory. This indicates that while students mayhave the necessary information provided to them, such as in the form of a lab manual, they findthat additional interactions, through questions to the instructor, are beneficial in furthering theirlearning.When considering teaching a course in which laboratory equipment is involved, such as thatdiscussed in this study, it is concluded that written instructions alone are not sufficient inallowing students to complete a given project or task using that equipment. It was observed thatlearning is advanced more effectively when students have the opportunity to get answers to theirquestions throughout their operation or programming of the equipment. Therefore, it
conceptual understanding.GeoGebra vs Traditional Tools for Phasor DiagramsEngineering higher education has seen several changes in the last decade. One such change hasbeen an increasing use of simulation environments based on but not limited to Matlab[1],LabVIEW[4], Excel macros[5], Javascript[6, 7], GeoGebra[2, 3] etc. in classrooms and laboratories toaid active-learning. Active learning has been widely associated with enhancement of studentlearning, however, in order to achieve full potential of active learning tools, it is very importantthat the tools be freely available, well-structured, and intuitive. GeoGebra developed by MarkusHohenwarter is one such open-source mathematical simulation environment intended forlearning and teaching mathematics

Jim Kuo, Justin Moon, Nancy Warter-Perez Department of Mechanical Engineering, California State University, Los AngelesBackgroundThis paper presents video analytics and assessment data on a recent effort to enhance studentlearning in a senior-level mechanical engineering course named ME 4061 (Heat Transfer I) at theCalifornia State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA). ME 4061 is the final lecture course inthe thermofluids course series and is a prerequisite to a final laboratory course in the series.Thermofluids courses are math-intensive and make extensive use of physics and mathematics todescribe physical systems. Furthermore, topics in ME 4061 Heat Transfer I involve conceptsfrom two prerequisite thermofluids courses

PomonaAbstractService learning is an innovative training technique where a service project or service experienceis incorporated in an academic course and is evaluated as part of the course overall grade. In thispaper, we present the design, implementation, and outcomes of a senior project capstone coursewhere service learning content and K-12 outreach activities are incorporated. We collaboratedwith a community partner, Ganesha High School in Pomona city, to provide students withservice learning experiences. The first course project includes an outreach seminar to introducesolar energy to the high school students and an A-to-Z project to build a solar charging station.The second course project includes developing computer programs and teaching the high
