The kit will bolster student proclivity with introductory lab equipment, which isa viable and effective way of rising student outcomes in mechanical engineering. Next, the kitwill be distributed to students and its efficacy on student outcome attainment will be assessed.References:[1] B.

qualitative and quantitative data gathered suggest that theprelab problem sets helped the students to be better prepared for the lab sessions due to thecomplementary nature of the prelab problems and the lab problems. Coupled with thefeatures of WeBWorK, the prelab problem sets provided better support for the students’learning and also deepened their understanding of the concepts during the actual lab sessions.AcknowledgmentsThis research was funded by the Simon Fraser University Teaching and LearningDevelopment Grant.

There have been numerous definitions of remote labenvironments in the literature where the terms “remote lab” and “virtual lab” are often usedsynonymously [5, 6]. However, it is important to establish a clear distinction between the twoterms. Virtual laboratories are simulated, non-physical environments that model a real-life labwith a computer-based application. Conversely, remote laboratories give the user the ability toaccess and control physical equipment from distant locations

Along the same lines, Dr. Natalie also believed that students shouldacquire both technical and professional skills for career preparation. She particularly emphasizedobtaining management skills for competitive employability: I mean, management is what? Management is basically being able to [be] enabling, achieving common goals, right? I mean that's what brings business. That's what keeps you in business…. So I think it's very true, except that I think in the business that I observe, is you hire for both technical and people skill[s].These responses indicated to us that faculty members understood and suggested the importanceof
