are often lacking in the fullness of details that real systems provide.Meaningful communications are also difficult if there are no consequences tied to theeffectiveness of the communication. Over the past four years we have been examining anumber of approaches for using remotely located experiments to overcome thesedifficulties. More recently we have restructured our approach to also emphasizecommunications skills.To provide the learning-by-doing experience we used the Green Engineering themeexperiments of the on-line laboratory facilities at UTC. To emphasize thecommunications aspect, WSU students were paired with other WSU students forconducting experiments. By working with their classmates peer pressure is brought tobear to encourage full
