Abstract: Though many schools are working to "flip" the classroom, Niagara College's Photonics Department is working to flip the lab. By giving students access to simulation tools and low-cost DAQ technology, such as NI Circuit Design Suite and myDAQ, they can take advantage of hands-on learning in their own homes. At this session, explore Niagara College's experiences using these resources and discover how the dynamics of the lab are changing and no longer entirely dependent on a college's physical laboratory schedule or resources. This program blurred the lines between book and lab work to help students "do engineering" anywhere.
