The Modern Undergraduate Lab
Global trends and case studies

Recently, many institutions have been evaluating the effectiveness of the traditional lab syllabus in the face of modern engineering challenges. Today's engineers wrestle with complex multi-domain systems, system-level design, and sophisticated computer-controlled techniques to achieve greater performance, precision, and business success in their designs.

 

In the webinar, hosted by Indo US Collaboration for Engineering Education (IUCEE), Dr. Tom Lee explores the core dimensions of the modern education challenge in transforming the aging lab to one that is more effective, and directly relevant to emerging industry needs.
