Introduction: The author established state-of-art laboratories in VLSI Design and Fabrication in 1984,and 1986 respectively at University of Massachusetts Lowell, and continually upgrading them. Inaddition he initiated courses namely 16.469, 15.502, and 16.602 in VLSI Design / VHDL BasedDesign and 16.470, 16.504 in the VLSI Fabrication field, teaching and updating these coursescontinually. In addition, the author initiated and taught courses such as 16.661 LocalArea/Computer Networking, 16.571 Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits (MMIC) Designand Fabrication and 16.547 Intelligent Transportation and Systems Technologies. All thesecourses demonstrate a proper mix of engineering fundamentals and training students

Students performed well ondescribing key components of the concepts and applying them in design exercises.Students also did a good job of properly documenting their work in laboratory notebooks.Students were allowed to use their laboratory notebooks during tests and examinations.This was purposely done to encourage them to employ sound documentation techniquesand also to emphasize the use of the laboratory notebook as a tool.The most exciting results were in the final design projects in

Because the teaching perspective at PSU-H focuses on the practicalapplication of knowledge, it is critical to include engineering case studies to demonstrate tostudents the value of using molecular biology tools to address water and wastewater treatment.Including a

In some cases, assessment is based on verylimited information available on the web or additional information obtained from faculty. Themajority of these courses include introduction to biochemistry, basic cell structure and cellfunction. Many also include cell metabolism, energetics, and growth kinetics. The differencebetween some courses is likely a function of the unique biological science requirement of theirprograms. Due to the variety of topics that can makeup a hybrid environmental biology course,it may be beneficial to co-teach the

theaudience they are targeted at. Our proposal how to deal with this challenge is to deploy intelligentassistants using Bayesian learning which, given some initial knowledge on the audience, exploreuser behavior to build up a model of the learner within the system. This allows us to leave thechoice of the most suitable learning material to the learner. Thus, it enables an adaption of thesystem to individual learning styles while avoiding the risk of overwhelming the user by theplethora of choices of available material.Starting with models for learner and course, we present a prototypical implementation of such asystem within the virtual laboratory V IDEO E ASEL developed at the TU Berlin.1.

IntroductionThe class-room teaching of mechanics courses, especially of dynamics and vibrations, involvestheoretical models and mathematical computations. It is difficult for students to imagine in whatway the systems work, what mechanical properties they have, and predict their behavior if aforce or moment is applied. It is difficult to evaluate the behavior of the systems if they aregoverned by non-linear equations. The nonlinearity of the system can be the result of largedisplacement, friction force, impacts between the elements of the system, and external
