However, it can be difficult to impart the criticality of such topics toundergraduate students in the early years, especially to Freshman students overwhelmed withnew experiences and responsibilities.

When a temperature variation occurs at the junction, it generates avoltage, which can then be converted into temperature, through calibration. Since part of the flowstagnates at the thermocouple junction, the measured temperature is often assumed to be the totaltemperature. A laboratory has been developed to allow aerospace engineering students to verifythis assumption while teaching them how to measure flow velocity using a Pitot-static tube. Thislaboratory has not been found in the open literature. Figure 1: Pitot-static tube [4] Figure 2: ThermocoupleExperimental SetupThe experimental

While there are assumptions that labs are not observed critically because oftheir universally accepted status in the curriculum [23], it is problematic that from 1993 to 2002,only 5% of all articles published in the Journal of Engineering Education used “laboratory” as akeyword [24].

The variety is spread across electrical engineering andelectrical engineering technology programs, and programs with focus on telecommunications orwhich only offer core or elective courses in communications. Adding to the variety, someprograms include hands-on laboratory courses, others include simulation-based laboratories mostof the time using Matlab, while others may only include lecture courses with no labs.

The wind tunnel (shown inFigure 1) was manufactured by AeroLab [13], but is no longer sold. The square test section (sixinches by six inches) has hinged acrylic sidewalls. The maximum air speed in the test section isapproximately 30 m/s.The pipe flow test bench (Figure 2) was built in-house, with funding from a Faculty DevelopmentGrant (total cost: less than $5000). The test bench was inspired by others who designed and built in-house pipe flow rigs or pump test rigs for their teaching laboratories [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19],[20], [21], [22].
