AB  -                    What does it take to deliver an active hands-on course?Abstract         Distance Education has been implemented widely in different curricula at manyinstitutions; different means have been used to ensure the delivery. This article introduces uniquecombination of different mechanisms in implementing the active/synchronous distance deliveryof hands-on course(s) that is compatible and similar to the face-to-face on-campus course(s).There are three major developmental stages of these online courses - curriculum design,methodologies, and assessment to ensure the effectiveness of distance delivery of technicalcourses in engineering technology.         The processes of curriculum design for the Embedded System Designs are discussed:(a) The development of course and labs modules for hands-on technical courses. (b) Themethodologies used in the delivery processes that include unique combinations of differentteaching strategies when implementing these online courses. The web portal is used as a mean todelivery general rules and course information and content, and the implementations of LearningManagement Systems (LMS) for course module organizations. In addition, the limitations andproblems encountered during the delivery processes, and the solution of the problems will beaddressed. (c) The assessment of the distance course(s) on data gathered in a preliminary studyand the comparison of methodologies used in this distance course will be presented to set as aproof of concept of these effective distance delivery practices.         Engineering technology focuses on both “hands-on and mind-on” design work. Thisarticle discussed the integration of existing technology products into real world applications.Through the implementation of the distance delivery or cyber-enabled learning environment, theeffectiveness of the delivery is compatible to traditional face-to-face on-campus courses. Thisdoes not only benefit the interested faculty/teachers in better teaching technical courses online,but it also support the students who are interested in learning more advanced technical conceptsthat are needed in the work environment requiring higher technical literacy for today and in thefuture.Highlights of the presentation will address the following:        Research and development of the virtual classrooms and open source service server.        Curriculum design and development of the supported material.        Implementation of teaching strategies and methodologies for the real-time distance           hands-on approach.        Preliminary assessment of the teaching and learning.        Recommendations of potential adoption of the development.        Continuous improvement of teaching and learning in academic community.
