It is a fundamental prerequisitefor “good” research, even though the process of selecting reviewers is largely shrouded inmystery. Under ideal conditions, reviewers are experts on a paper’s topic, but the process ofidentifying that expertise varies widely from publication venue to venue.Purpose (Hypothesis)The purpose of this paper is to (1) identify some of the methods

With the advent of IoT, a large number of devices are now being connected tothe web for data collection, management, and control [1, 2, 3, 4]. As a subset of IoT, remotelaboratories allow to access laboratory equipment over the web to perform experiments. Atraditional remote laboratory system involves a full-scale computer system along withassociated interfacing and web hosting technologies, but sometimes there is significantoverhead for the initial commission and subsequent maintenance of a remote laboratorysystem [5, 6].

The user could relativelyeasily identify the key parameters and manipulate the available inputs without needing separateinstructions or directions. A student-user could quickly begin interacting with the module andvisually experience how changing inputs to the system dynamically changes the outputs.A module on density was the first one provided to the students.

Laboratory experiences are costly both in terms ofinstructor time and money, especially in the case of damaged equipment [1]. Thus, to overcomethis, various courses have attempted to use web-based laboratories to educate engineeringstudents on electronics such as PLCs [2, 3]. However, this approach waives the inclusion ofexperience-based hands-on education, which is considered to be a crucial part of the laboratoryexperience

Introduction: An embedded system consists of computer hardware and embedded software, which are different from the ones found in general purpose systems [1]. Thus, the embedded system can be described as a control/processing box (CPB) having microcontroller and other devices, and the CPB has inputs (i.e., receiving part) and outputs (i.e., sending part). In general, the goal of the CPB is making our daily-life comfortable and convenient as the forms of smartphones

Introduction Engineering jobs in the field of Electrical Engineering saw a five-year wage growth of7.61% in 2018, yet employment for electrical engineers declined by 0.6% [1]. According to theBureau of Labor & Statistics [2], the U.S. will shed 2% of the number of electrical engineersemployed over the next five years. Although there have been significant increases in studentsenrolled in engineering majors, a large percentage of those students will either drop out or changetheir major within the first year [3]. A number of factors contribute to this phenomenon, butresearch has suggested that students experience extreme difficulties in their first year due to CircuitAnalysis (Network Theory) courses that leverages their abilities in Math to
