Previousstudies have concentrated only on final lab grade and a lab practical score2 .While the data on the electrical aptitude test was collected, the test itself has notbeen validated. In this project, each of the questions on the electrical aptitude testwere themselves analyzed to determine if any one of them had a particularrelationship to a particular prior experience, grades in the lab or on a lab practical,or an attitude. If the electrical aptitude test score was highly correlated with aknown hands on ability measure, this could help validate the test constructed bythe researchers

Furthermore, students enrolled in distance learning programs,due to their remote location, struggle even more to find the opportunity to gain the requiredhands-on experience. This paper is a case study to analyze the feasibility of handling labs forcircuit related classes through an alternative approach based on a simplified lab environment,which can be located virtually anywhere. The lab environment we analyzed is the Digilent’sElectronics Explorer Board powered by the WaveForms software. The single board includesvarious devices used in traditional analog/digital classes such as power supplies, functiongenerators, oscilloscopes, logic analyzer, multi-meters, etc. As a case study

The specific goals of SEEC are to increase thenumber of engineering graduates by 100 per year to obtain a total of about 900per year with approximately 10% from minorities and 20% females12. The key tomeeting these goals is the creation of meaningful connections between ISU andthe state community colleges to support transfer students.
