This new change in teaching traditional vector statics courses will precipitateconcomitant revision in offering other traditional engineering courses as well.Introduction Engineering education is under considerable pressure to include more and new materials,to restructure the course content using new approaches and technologies and to manage aspectrum of students with diverse backgrounds in spite of the reduced total number of credits forgraduation. Most engineering curricula have become more intensive and thus students arerequired to spend more time for each

. Thus the investment required to set up laboratory classes would be morereasonable.Now that we know we need no more than one setup to actually conduct the laboratory we canthink of offering laboratory courses for subjects such as High Voltage Engineering, ComputerNumerical Control Laboratory or other specialized subjects. Thus laboratory courses can havejust one satellite terminal at the universities or the place of hardware setup and the students canparticipate in the laboratory by remote access using the Breeze Technology. So now studentscan have real time experience with apparatus that are expensive and have strict detail to safety. Page

According to recentstudies4 traditional engineering lecture courses tend to alienate a significant portion of studentswhose learning styles are visually, active, or experience oriented, leaving these students with anincomplete comprehension of the course material. Furthermore, development of conventionallaboratory components of the course required quantities of bulky, expensive equipment, hiringqualified personnel, and a large, dedicated laboratory space.However, due to the recent expansion of the internet and advances in commercial technology,remote laboratories have increasingly become a feasible solution to various laboratory coursessuffering the same dilemmas.
