Living WITH the Lab是路易斯安那理工大学的一年级工程课程，每年为400多名学生提供服务。这个为期一年的三课程序列使用学生拥有的软件，工具，机器人套件和Arduino微控制器来提供移动实验室和设计平台。在每学期结束时，学生被要求报告他们完成了26项实践活动（使用手工工具，测量仪器等）的次数。他们还被要求对拓展活动、非技术技能、技术技能和课程特定领域的信心进行排名。本文考察了学生参与实践活动的次数与自信心之间的关系。评估数据显示，动手活动的数量比以前的课程增加了15倍，学生的信心也很高，特别是在与频率最高的活动相关的项目上。
Living WITH the Lab is a first-year engineering curriculum that serves over 400 students each year at Louisiana Tech University. This year-long, three-course sequence uses student-owned software, tools, a robot kit, and an Arduino microcontroller to provide a mobile laboratory and design platform. At the end of each term, students are asked to report the number of times they have completed each of 26 hands-on activities (using hand tools, measurement instruments, etc.). They are also asked to rank their confidence in broadening activities, non-technical skills, technical skills, and course-specific areas. This paper examines the relationships between number of times a student engages in hand-on activities and their confidence. The assessment data show that the number of hands-on activities has increased fifteen-fold from the previous curriculum and student confidence is high, particularly on items related to the highest frequency activities.
