in the instrumentation or devices courses butnot in a course primarily focused on the PLC. Not considering these courses for EECSstudents is a mistake.While the equipment of these labs is useful for the PLC courses, specific experimentsmay also have potential use in other courses including Automatic Controls. Theequipment has use in a number of different courses and can be given over to a multitudeof uses as need arises.While the courses described are difficult and time consuming for student and instructoralike, the enjoyment that the professor may have after teaching these courses should benoted. As the student moves through the course(s), they begin to enjoy the challenge ofthe next lab and what lies ahead while seeing the potential for

theperformance and voice-related issues reported.As online engineering courses become more prevalent, virtual world technology, such asdemonstrated by the Terf® platform, will play an integral role in offering a more engaging andacademically rich environment, especially with regard to student collaboration, engagement,communication, and interaction with 3D models. As virtual world technology advances, it isanticipated that 3D virtual world technology will be integrated into course and learningmanagement systems and textbook resources.AcknowledgementsI would like to thank Ron Teitelbaum and Nina Nussbaum-Jones of 3Dicc for their support ofthis project.ReferencesAugust, S.

demographics and trends in the labor market continue to remain an unwaveringissue. Currently, there is a demand in the U.S. to produce qualified students, both at the K-12 andpostsecondary levels with suitable STEM transferable skills and a knack for scientificexploration and innovation through engineering design to aid in the growth and enrichment ofthe U.S.’s economy. In 2004, the National Science Foundation noted that half of the economicgrowth within the U.S. over the past 50+ years is credited to the scientific innovation of theSTEM workforce, which represents a minute 5% of the overall U.S. workforce.1 In order to strengthen the K-12 STEM pipeline and workforce, investments in outreachand student development are continually being
