In the first stage, we pilot tested onlineremote labs by incorporating previous research outcomes-the scheduler web server scheme(Figure 1). We revamped the teaching materials for a core engineering course ELET4623 MixedSignal (II) and its associated lab session ELET4621 Mixed Signal (II) lab. LabVIEW-based DSPhardware learning modules were developed and applied in teaching activities. Student performedthree experiments on the Speedy-33 DSP hardware for impulse response, convolution integration,and frequency response. One experiment is conducted online to remotely operate the DSP boardlocated in another building (as shown in Figure 4a and 4b). The feedback

The goals are to provide the academic andnon-academic support structures to allow the veterans to be successful in completing their degreerequirements. After initial activities within the power area, researchers plan to expand theprogram into other areas of engineering.AcknowledgementsThis work is partially

The department has applied for more grants and was recently awarded a manufacturinggrant from the department of labor in collaboration with the continuation education departmentat the college. This influx of funds from the different awards received is helping the departmentbuild better design and fabrication facilities. Undergraduate research represents the most critical,logical step in the department’s long-term plan to transform itself to a model in education. It willmake graduated students more relevant to current industry needs and will create curriculum andlearning experiences for students that would enhance their theoretical and hands-on skills.AcknowledgmentThe work is funded by a grant from NASA CIPAIR

The assessments for the three programs—ET, ECET, and EE—in the area of teamingneeded to be presented at the team- or course-level, not by individual student. Unfortunately thereports generated by CATME provided data for teams or individual students. The problem withthis format is that the assessments for the three programs would have been coupled with oneanother, which was thought to be problematic when assessing individual programs for ABETpurposes.
