The second category describes how a person processes information.People who process data with their senses are referred to as Sensors (S), and a person who seeswhere data is going in the future is called an iNtuitor (N). The Sensor versus iNtuitor category isan interesting area of study when it comes to engineering education, because professors arehistorically intuitors while most engineering students are sensors50.

Numerous studies were reported in thepast by analyzing the ‘instantaneous structure’ of the mechanism in different orientationsto identify the most critical orientation(s) of the mechanism and the high stress or highdeflection locations in the members of the flexible mechanisms. Several special purposecomputer programs have also been written by different academic and industry researchersthat address this issue to some extent1,2 (for example), but there seems to be no evidenceof an undergraduate course that combines these two approaches. Simplified theory thatcovers the important mechanism design and FEA concepts can be complimented byvalidation using simulation tools. This may be a good starting point

Dimensions are based on strength of preference ranging from zero to approximately fifty where higher scores indicate higher preferences for the particular function. Table 1 displays a brief summary of MBTI scales. These four sets of preferences combine sixteen distinct personality types. An understanding of type preferences and their interactions serve as a core of “individual types.”6 Given that the scales are a continuum, individuals within each of the sixteen types are

Providing Distance Education courses witha remote laboratory network presents challenges to providing adequate isolation. The useof IP-KVM switches adds a very strong layer of isolation, and in combination with theuse of emulation software such as VMWare or other virtual operating systemenvironment, provides an adequately isolated laboratory network for some exercises.References[1] Frincke, D., “Who watches the security educators?”, Security & Privacy Magazine, IEEE Volume 1, Issue 3, May-June 2003 Page(s):56 – 58[2] Eppes, T. & Schuyler, P., “A General-Purpose Distance Lab System
