Abstract

This paper addresses the design of a fluid power laboratory course that utilizes a diverse breadth of learning activities. The laboratory includes a variety of exercises such as the use of simulation software, modularized hydraulic trainers, full-scale industrial systems, fabrication, and teardown analysis of fluid power components. This variety of learning experiences allows students with a diverse range of learning styles to experience the course topics in ways that are most conducive for each.
