LabVIEW Fundamentals Hands On Course - Data Acquisition, Design, and Control
Manos Chaniotakis
Mon Jan 23 thru Fri Jan 27, 09am-04:00pm, 24-307
Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Limited to 20 participants.
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Hands-on course prepares you to develop data acquisition, instrument control, data logging, system simulations and measurement analysis applcations using LabVIEW. At the end, you can create applications that acquire, display, analyze, store, and communicate real-world data. We will design complete, stand-alone applications in LabVIEW and all participants will have the opportunity to build and test fundamental applications during the course. We will cover proper design techniques and implementation of complete LabVIEW solutions, DataSocket technology, advanced file I/O, networked environments, and error handling. At the end of the session, each participant will have the skills required in order to create LabVIEW applications for research, engineering, teaching, and testing environments.

Teaching Beyond the Textbook: The Role of Technology in Curriculum Development and Delivery
Manos Chaniotakis
Wed Jan 18, Thu Jan 19, 10-12:00am, NW14-1112
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
This course makes the case for interactive teaching. How do you go about introducing a hands-on component to a course while at the same time enhancing the theoretical/conceptual dimension of the class? What is the pedagogical value of hands-on teaching? What is the state of technology in interactive teaching?
The first day, educator and entrepreneur, Dr. Tom Hsu, will share his experiences in interactive and hands-on teaching from middle school to graduate school. On the second day, we will take a tour of the 6.071, 22.071 class/lab room. We will experience hands-on teaching by running and evaluating various 6.071 experiments.
