Augmented reality (AR) provides huge opportunities for online teaching in science and engineering, as these disciplines place emphasis on practical training and unsuited to completely nonclassroom training. This paper proposes a new concept in virtual and remote laboratories: the augmented remote laboratory (ARL). ARL is being tested in the first…

For some time industrial educators have been concerned with effective methods of teaching electricity-electronics. This study compared the relative effectiveness of the predesigned-circuit method with a student-designed circuit method for students' laboratory experience. Using one unit of college-level industrial education…

A model program for freshman women in engineering was field tested and evaluated at the Purdue University Department of Freshman Engineering. The course, open to men and women, was designed to provide more equitable educational opportunities through hands-on laboratories, career education, and role-model lectures on energy, environment,…

A model program for freshman women in engineering has been developed at Purdue University. The program focuses on an experimental course that provides beginning engineering women and men with hands-on laboratory experiences, discussions of contemporary societal problems including environment, energy and productivity by various role model…

A study compared effects of two forms of laboratory teaching experience (microteaching and reflective teaching) in an introductory teacher education course on students' views of themselves as teachers and their attitudes toward and perceptions of teaching. The population consisted of Ohio State University students in four sections of Agricultural…
