AB  -                     Enhancing Laboratory Experiences with                     Portable Electronics Experiment KitsThis paper presents cumulative findings from using a custom portable electronicsexperiment kit (PEEK) in electronics courses offered as part of a general engineeringprogram. Each PEEK includes National Instruments (NI) LabVIEW® virtual instrumentsrunning on a laptop, a portable NI myDAQ® personal data acquisition device, a RapidAnalysis and Signal Conditioning Laboratory (RASCL) unit, and supporting peripheralcomponents. These tools provide a new form of laboratory experience that frees studentsfrom traditional benchtop settings and expands laboratory activities into more ubiquitouslearning environments. Two electronics courses in a general engineering curriculum (ENGR3014—Circuit Analysis and ENGR 3050—Instrumentation and Controls) were piloted for thisNSF CCLI (TUES) project. The first course was offered twice; the latter once. Outcomesassessed within the ABET framework include students’ ability to (a) apply math andscience, (b) conduct experiments and interpret data, and (e) solve problems. Experimentaland control groups were compared with respect to these outcomes. Results from theseearly course offerings support the hypothesis that this approach to hands-on laboratoriescan improve these learning outcomes. This paper focuses on the modified laboratoryexperience and the assessment of its effectiveness as a supplement to previously publishedwork related to this project. It summarizes observed benefits from the use of these tools,such as more efficient task completion, the flexibility to complete tasks that remainunfinished during the scheduled laboratory session, and the ability for students to achievelaboratory objectives at their individual paces.
