The clear conclusion fromexamining the average scores and the standard deviations (s) is that little, if any, testingbias is introduced by offering the test online versus the more traditional paper/opscanmethod.

Providing Distance Education courses witha remote laboratory network presents challenges to providing adequate isolation. The useof IP-KVM switches adds a very strong layer of isolation, and in combination with theuse of emulation software such as VMWare or other virtual operating systemenvironment, provides an adequately isolated laboratory network for some exercises.References[1] Frincke, D., “Who watches the security educators?”, Security & Privacy Magazine, IEEE Volume 1, Issue 3, May-June 2003 Page(s):56 – 58[2] Eppes, T. & Schuyler, P., “A General-Purpose Distance Lab System

This modulator is capable of operating at up to 200 millionsamples per second (MS/s), with a resulting carrier or intermediate frequency of up to 80 MHz(i.e., 40% of the system’s sample frequency). An onboard 32-bit direct digital synthesizer (DDS)is used to generate the carrier waveform values. Baseband 14-bit in-phase and quadrature (I/Q)data are presented to the modulator, which can be programmed to interpolate the data at rates of4x to 252x. The AD9857 is interfaced to the DSK using an Altera Cyclone FPGA. The FPGAprovides queuing of the I/Q data, and the

At the time,each of the engineering technology programs (civil, electrical, and mechanical) had their ownfreshman course of two credits and didn’t really want to change. This change would add anadditional two credits to the curriculum which, under university guidelines, would mean that twocredits would have to be dropped elsewhere in the curriculum.

From its inception, NJIT hasemphasized the use of computer-mediated communication systems, or asynchronous learningnetworks (ALNs), as a means to keep distance learning students engaged in their coursework, topromote a sense of community among classmates, and to improve student learning. The firstALN used at NJIT was the Electronic Information Exchange System, EIES1. This system wasexpanded and modified to make it web-accessible, and became
