This paper details lessons learned from the implementation of a new approach to first year Electronic and Electrical Engineering (EEE) undergraduate laboratory teaching at the University of Sheffield (UoS), UK. Having moved from traditional small group laboratory teaching to much larger group teaching, a number of issues have been identified. With the construction of a new faculty-wide engineering building came a new undergraduate practical teaching paradigm1. This paper discusses the author’s experience of implementing the model within the EEE laboratory. Details of the laboratory teaching materials and exercises are also given. An analysis is presented of the experience gained during the first academic year’s delivery. Finally, suggested improvements are discussed.

Successes And Challenges

This article captures a collective reflection on the successes and challenges we experienced when teaching physiology laboratories online during the COVID-19 pandemic. Physiology instructors from six institutions discussed their own efforts to redesign meaningful physiology laboratories that could be taught remotely, as the nation scrambled to respond to the sudden shift out of the classroom. Despite the complexity of this task, clear themes emerged as our courses transitioned to an online format in spring 2020 and were solidified in the fall of 2020. This article reflects on the history, features, benefits, and challenges of current laboratory teaching when applying a scientific teaching approach to facilitate the redesign process. We believe online networks like ours can facilitate information sharing, promote innovations, and provide support for instructors. The insights we gained through this collaboration will influence our thinking about the future of the physiology lab, whether online or in person.

Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics

Just a few decades ago, chemical oscillations were thought to be exotic reactions of only theoretical interest. Now known to govern an array of physical and biological processes, including the regulation of the heart, these oscillations are being studied by a diverse group across the sciences. This book is the first introduction to nonlinear chemical dynamics written specifically for chemists. It covers oscillating reactions, chaos, and chemical pattern formation, and includes numerous practical suggestions on reactor design, data analysis, and computer simulations. Assuming only an undergraduate knowledge of chemistry, the book is an ideal starting point for research in the field. The book begins with a brief history of nonlinear chemical dynamics and a review of the basic mathematics and chemistry. The authors then provide an extensive overview of nonlinear dynamics, starting with the flow reactor and moving on to a detailed discussion of chemical oscillators. Throughout the authors emphasize the chemical mechanistic basis for self-organization. The overview is followed by a series of chapters on more advanced topics, including complex oscillations, biological systems, polymers, interactions between fields and waves, and Turing patterns. Underscoring the hands-on nature of the material, the book concludes with a series of classroom-tested demonstrations and experiments appropriate for an undergraduate laboratory.
