For many disciplines, the interaction among students required fordiscussion or peer review of written work can be handled in courses through discussion boards,chat sessions, team conferences, and written assignments. Furthermore, for some courses,simulations and case studies can replace active learning sessions.[1] However, even with theadvances in online education, the challenges of most laboratory courses required on-sitelaboratory experiences because of the need for physical hardware and resources.

Once studentsenter their collegiate course of study, academia, industry, and the students themselves must seekout and integrate communication study and practice into their engineering training [2].

If one wants to pursue a pathway to research in engineering education, the researchmethodology in engineering education should be no different than the same methodologicalapproach used in technical engineering research: 1. define the research question or hypothesis, 2.write a proposal or plan, 3. seek funding or other appropriate support, 4. do the work rigorously,and 5. publish the results in peer-reviewed journals. In this sense, engineering educationresearch should be considered favorably in promotion and tenure. One caveat in educationalresearch is that the student (human subject) is the target

The impact of different industrial revolutions on education, just like all other parts of society has been profound. Education 1.0 was no education at all. At that time children worked in manual jobs and child labor was the order of the day. Education was not necessary to earn a living, it was merely a luxury for the elites and the rich. Education 2.0 originated from the need to read and write and was developed in the model of Industry 2.0, with emphasis on repeatability, uniformity, efficiency, and mass production.
