Schnieder, Maren; Williams, Sheryl; Ghosh, Sourav – Education Sciences, 2022
The paper compares the effectiveness of in-person and virtual engineering laboratory sessions. The in-person and virtual laboratory sessions reported here comprise six experiments combined with short tutorials. The virtual lab combined enquiry-based learning and gamification principles. The integration of the virtual labs with in-person teaching…

George-Williams, Stephen R.; Ziebell, Angela L.; Thompson, Christopher D.; Overton, Tina L. – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Previous work at Monash University has shown that students recognise that inquiry-, problem-, context- and industry-based experiments were better contextualised, more open to decision making and aided in the development of scientific and transferable skills. This study investigated whether these gains persisted over a longer time scale, rather…

Love, Tyler S.; Roy, Ken R.; Marino, Matthew T. – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2020
A strength of technology and engineering (T&E) education programs is that they provide a unique context for students with varying abilities to apply their knowledge and skills in nontraditional ways. These courses help prepare students with valuable skills needed for college and career readiness. Makerspaces, fab labs, and STEM labs often…

Yan, Jianghong; Hu, Shupeng; Xu, Xiudan; Zhao, Dezhang; Wu, Mingjun; Luo, Suxin; Xia, Yong – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Medical laboratory technology major was set up to meet rapid development of science and medical research technology in 2013. Students majoring in medical laboratory had learnt a lot of techniques distributed among different specialized courses. But, they did not understand why they had to learn these techniques and how they were applied in a…

Euphrasio, P. C. S.; Faria, L. A.; Germano, J. S. E.; Hirata, Daisy – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2020
This article describes the implementation of a remote access experiment, called Web-lab 1553B (Digital Data Bus Lab), for courses in the Avionics Systems Program. Its main objective is to present a study about the use of two rotation model subgroups: 1) rotation laboratory and 2) station rotation. In the "rotation laboratory" subgroup,…

Gomez-Sacristan, Angel; Sempere-Paya, Victor M.; Rodriguez-Hernandez, Miguel A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2016
Teaching in university engineering departments is currently facing a number of challenges, especially for those involved in the most innovative and dynamic areas of information and communication technology. Learning model developments that place greater weight on laboratory activities require investment in specific equipment that is often very…

Phares, Alain J.; Durnin, John H. – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2016
Dimensional Analysis (DA) is shown to play a pivotal role in the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This article summarizes the basic rules and corollaries of DA and addresses (1) the importance of using DA with mathematical functions; (2) how to use DA in a science/engineering laboratory based discovery approach;…

Friis, Ulla G.; Plovsing, Ronni; Hansen, Klaus; Laursen, Bent G.; Wallstedt, Birgitta – Advances in Physiology Education, 2010
Acid/base homeostasis is one of the most difficult subdisciplines of physiology for medical students to master. A different approach, where theory and practice are linked, might help students develop a deeper understanding of acid/base homeostasis. We therefore set out to develop a laboratory exercise in acid/base physiology that would provide…

Lumori, M. L. D.; Kim, E. M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2010
Two possible topical approaches that have been applied to teaching an upper-division undergraduate electrical engineering applied electromagnetics course are presented. Each approach was applied to one of two offerings of the course, taught in different semesters. In either case, the course includes the study of electromagnetic theory and…

Gilbuena, Debra M.; Kirsch, F. Adam; Koretsky, Milo D. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2012
This paper is intended for engineering educators, high school curriculum designers, and high school teachers interested in integrating authentic, project-based learning experiences into their classes. These types of projects may appear complex, but have many advantages. We characterize the successful implementation of one such project, the…

Hasan, Shawn; Bromfield-Lee, Deborah; Oliver-Hoyo, Maria T.; Cintron-Maldonado, Jose A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2008
This forensic chemistry activity utilizes presumptive forensic testing procedures and laboratory chemicals that produce screening results similar to controlled substances. For obvious reasons, obtaining heavily regulated controlled substances to create an undergraduate student activity is not practical for most educational institutions. We were…

Davis, Leslie N.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1973
Discusses a laboratory course with computer-assisted instruction which emphasizes uses of simulated data, students' improvement of experiments, and presentation of a tutorial self-test mode. Indicates that students' enthusiasm is mostly due to computer's potential for in-depth interactivity and conformity to real-life situations. (CC)
