While this course did nothave a component that readily lent itself to an intervention, it is considered to be the best optionfor an intervention in the sophomore year because the other sophomore level CE courses haveless flexibility in their content and have less flexibility in learning objectives. The interventiontypically occurs during a single three hour laboratory session in the summer when there is onlyone section or in two one hour lecture sessions in the Fall semester when there are severalsections to the course.

Because thisreview of the model was precipitated by the unique environment in which educators foundthemselves, this paper is largely focused on teaching and learning outside of a physicalclassroom or laboratory. This new environment may be described as remote teaching, distanceeducation, virtual instruction, or online learning. As our faculty were new to any of thesemodalities, we used these terms interchangeably but soon learned that they are each unique. Toensure clear understanding, the terms remote, virtual, and online are defined for the purposes ofthis paper in Table 1. It

Once this list was compiled, a required size needed to beassigned to each category of building. The size was determined from the requirements of thespecific task the particular building needed to support and the number of individuals intended touse the building.The technical college is intended to provide training in computer science, auto mechanics,construction, and hotel management. Each of these areas requires space for classrooms,shops/laboratories, a library, storage, and faculty offices totaling

Cases are used to extend the learning experience beyond the classroom exercisesand laboratory experiments. Shapiro states that “the case method is built around the concepts ofmetaphors and simulation.” Each case is a metaphor for a selected set of problems or issues. Intheir analysis and discussions, students are expected to simulate the information processing anddecision-making skills of managers or engineers involved in the case. Cases require students toconsider multiple factors and to integrate information from various sources. Thus, cases, invarious forms, are one solution to the widening discrepancy between
