Carolina University, located in Greenville, North Carolina, havedevised an interesting approach to offering a remote laboratory experience to their students:They create a virtual laboratory environment consisting of virtual machines, which communicatewith one another over a virtual network. The virtual laboratory environments are then distributedto their students, who, in turn, run them “remotely” on their own computers at home. Theparticular environment reviewed is a virtual network security laboratory used to teach theoperation of an intrusion detection system (IDS) wherein the instructor pre-configured therequisite virtual machines and network trace files9.By having the virtual laboratory environment hosted in the non-virtual operation system

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Teaching Engineering Design Concepts Through A Multidisciplinary Control ProjectAbstractThis paper described the design and the implementation of a multidisciplinary project in two-sequential control courses to reinforce students’ understanding of engineering design conceptsfrom a system point of view. Such a project had two phases which corresponded to the twocourses. In the Phase I of the project, a vague problem idea was given, which required thestudents to design a (multidisciplinary) mechatronics system. The students formed in teams andcollected information to further define the project before drawing their first drafts. Multiple ideaswere

Earning things basedon successfully completing assignments, as opposed to losing things based on poor performance,can alter student perceptions of the class and give them a more positive attitude toward learning9.While it is still difficult to judge if adding game elements actually contributes to student learningor retention, and while gamification is not a “magic bullet” that can be applied to every course toequal effect, it can allow students to associate the course material with positive reinforcement1,10.Additionally, the novelty of the teaching style can be memorable to students11.2.

However, the resulting understanding of physiological functionresides in a system-specific framework that may hinder further explorations into other novelsystems outside the curriculum.

Studentsperform experiments on monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin film flexible, and folding flexiblephotovoltaic panels. They find practical influence of azimuth on performance, identifying asubstantial tolerance in angle from normal. They use their laboratory skills and managementinstruction to gain quick but remarkably valid estimates of solar panel performance: relativeenergy efficiency and relative cost of each of the four technologies.

why they considerthe internet the place where most, if not all necessary information can be found. We need toremember that the internet was introduced to the public in the 1990s. That means that most of thekids graduating from high school have been interacting with the internet since they were born.The question is: How we take advantage of all these new technologies to improve, or captivatethe attention of this new generation of students in the classrooms and laboratories? We all knowthat online learning is becoming more and more popular. However, in engineering, learning isnot limited to lecture; there are multiple laboratories that require sometimes expensive pieces ofequipment. For that reason, the teaching community has been studying
