The first is the trend in Physics education tofocus on teaching for conceptual understanding, for example, through Peer Instruction1 orWorkshop Physics (which is part of The Physics Suite).2 The second trend is the push to improvestudent writing through programs such as Writing Across the Curriculum, and in particularthrough Writing to Learn, where short writing exercises are used to help students think through aconcept or a problem.3 The observation was that a considerable fraction of our students, whiletalking to other students in class or asking the instructor a question, was referring to

developments in inexpensivecomputing power and internet communication, with the increasing number of online academicprograms, have prompted the need of laboratory teaching.1Laboratory teaching is the primary method of developing skills and competencies forengineering and/or engineering technology students, ensuring a close fit for the industryrequirements. The set of skills and knowledge acquired by an engineering graduate has to meetthe industry requirements of a global economy. Thus, the laboratory has become an essentialcomponent in all engineering programs.2To determine if the set of skills and competencies required by the industry are properlyaddressed, an assessment plan is generally adopted by engineering/engineering technologydepartments

For some students this arrangement maybe inconvenient, or in some cases, impractical. Furthermore, there are many challengesassociated with teaching electrical engineering online courses because of the interposition ofheavy equation use and interactivity required.Over the past three years, we have been investigating the use of inexpensive, highly portableinstrumentation to facilitate our lab requirements. As a result of this enabling technology, anonline program targeted toward completing the second two years of an undergraduate electricalengineering degree is being piloted at our institution.

The perspective of the FAS is “first person” like many modern FirstPerson Shooter games as Call of Duty 3. The interaction with the student is performed bypointing an object and make click on it, it's connected to a MySQL database in order to log eachstudent activity, which can be used to assess the materials chosen by the students for laboratorywork.

This objective will be accomplished primarily bydeveloping an integrative course in “Biomechanics and Biotransport” that incorporatescomputational, demonstrational, and experimental laboratories and secondarily, by involvingstudents in sustained semester research projects. Students will first study the fundamentalprinciples of Biomaterials involved in biological systems through a prerequisite introductorycourse, “Mechanical Properties of Biological Tissues”.
