The board can also serve as a fund raising mechanism by having itsindustrial partner give grants for scholarships for incoming freshman, or monies to help purchaseequipment and supplies to maintain a laboratory of the department. The industry advisory boardmembers can also serve as mentors on an industry sponsored project. Another important purposeis to advise the department in the area of curriculum development. Industry participation incurriculum development will ensure that ET students are taking the necessary classes to givethem the industry skills to compete globally with other engineering technology graduates.The Industry advisory board

Experienced users movedfrom infrequent usage to usage equivalent to that of a newer, simpler curve tracer. New usersseem to prefer using the interface, although that preference may be a function of classroomrequirements. When asked the best and worst features of each instrument, complaints centeredaround the 370’s size, age, and the transistor sockets rather than the user interface: only onecomplaint was received concerning software problems.

isgenerally defined as “education being delivered in an online environment through the use of theinternet for teaching and learning” [6]. There are two general types of online content delivery,being synchronous (instructor teaching in real-time) or asynchronous (content is deliveredoutside pre-defined lecture times) [7]. In the Department of Electrical and Software Engineeringat the University of Calgary, both types of online content delivery are being used to teachundergraduate engineering students.This shift to online learning has caused a myriad of issues for students, including resourceintensiveness [8], limited attention span [8], and absence of traditional classroom socialization[9].
