Many researchers1,5, 6, 7 suggest that there is potential for the use of Web 2.0 within the classroom, but there are stillseveral barriers and precautions necessary prior to a successful deployment of the technology foreducational purposes. Hamid, Chang, & Kurnia8 and Williams and Chinn9 suggest that carefuland highly scrutinized planning must take place prior to any implementation of Web 2.0technologies.

Common applications of the VR-based education include computer-aided design(CAD), manufacturing automation, control, robotics, manufacturing assembly planning,manufacturing system visualization and simulation. 3, 4, 5Despite its advantages, very few applications of VR based laboratory education for distancelearning have been reported in the literature. 6, 7 The common developed VR-based laboratoryeducation systems are dedicated to education and training with the local students. They requirehigh computer knowledge and skills for operations, which are found too sophisticated foreducational purposes. The studies often overlook the importance of the VR

programming skills defined inthis paper, the students will be able to develop computer programs to solve most engineeringproblems, such as those in statics, dynamics, thermal dynamics, in their future learning.Programming is an intensive, hands-on design process. The amount of programming skills of astudent is largely dependent on how much programming experience she or he has had. Theengineering students should get some basic programming experiences as early as possible.Therefore, the authors are communicating with the Klamath Union High School to seek anopportunity to offer a VBA computer programming course as a high school senior elective. Theauthors are planning to offer this course to a small class of 3 to 5 senior students (or high

The plan is based on two cycles ofassessment and evaluation, a short cycle of one year and a long term cycle of three years.The plan includes a variety of assessment methods and tools. In addition to assessing theachievement of program outcomes, the plan allows assessment of program objectives andgoals. A method for individual course assessment is also presented. Issues related

In conventional course occurrences, events like a midterm, final andassignments tend to overlap between classes, and can cause big spikes in student workload. Withan increased number of students in each class, students can also feel the pressure of increasedcompetition. These stresses’ on both faculty and students, negatively affect the positive outcomesdesired by both groups.

Students completed the design, obtained approval from the customer (the nonprofit trailgroup), and obtained approval from local and state governments. Because this was a capstonecourse, students were required to demonstrate knowledge and skills they acquired during theirfour-year degree program. As such, they created the blueprints of the new design, estimated costsand materials, scheduled the construction, and fulfilled the role of project manager. Constructionprofessionals mentored the students as they built the trailhead restroom. The magic words

For example, “If I havejust finished my 10AM circuits class, then I will go to the library and work on my calculushomework until my next class.” There is a rich body of literature in the field of psychologyshowing the success of implementation intentions, applied to things as diverse as exercise,impulse control, and overcoming addiction. However, prior to this study, very little work hasbeen done applying this practice to academics.Authors of motivational theories assert intentions play a causal role in behavior, including thetheory of reasoned action2 and the theory of

Second, the linkage between goals and methods needs to be documented in order toprevent a gradual drift away from the goals as incremental changes are made to lesson plans.

Accordingly, the curriculum has evolved over the past thirty years to include designprojects of varying complexity in many courses. This philosophy has now been expanded toprovide a multidisciplinary design experience for engineering technology (ET) majors.
