Technicalcommunication is a critical skill for Civil Engineering students to achieve. However,incorporating technical writing in many engineering courses is difficult. At Seattle University,laboratory reports are used to teach technical writing skills. Unfortunately, students often preparetheir reports at the last minute, rather than devoting the time necessary to compose and edit theirwriting. When the

The best option is toembrace it and change the way classrooms operate while at the same time teaching betterengineering ethics for the Internet age. This paper focuses on the changes made toembrace these trends in a computer engineering laboratory at Mississippi StateUniversity.2.

The cost of the equipmentand its maintenance can be cut down if the number of lab stations is reduced and/or thelaboratory is used outside ordinary working hours.Another purpose of the remote laboratory at BTH is to provide exercises which are almostidentical to conventional ones. In fact, the exercises in the remote laboratory could also beperformed in the traditional manner. The same laboratory instruction manuals will serve thepurpose. Conventional laboratory exercises have been used with success to teach science andengineering for many decades. To try to copy these exercises might be a good starting point fromwhich new teaching methods could emerge.In a traditional laboratory
