Studio laboratory developed interactively between faculty and student facilitate better learning experiences in the classroom

Educating the leaders of tomorrow´s workforce is dependent on the amount of information a student retains. This research shows that studio laboratories that are developed interactively between faculty and students facilitate the quality and success of the classroom experience. This paper discusses the development of a classroom exercise by an undergraduate student which was supervised by a professor and independently evaluated by another undergraduate. Student evaluation shows that the exercise was challenging and applicable to their career goals. We believe the interaction between faculty and students to design and evaluate laboratory assignments is a successful model and should be used in the design of other engineering workshops.
