Presently, the theoretical course (ECEN 4006: FiberOptic Communications) and a laboratory course are taught at the University of Coloradowhile in the future both laboratory and the theoretical courses will be given at bothuniversities within the e-learning environment. This distributed teaching environment willallow different institutions to share expertise and expensive equipment.II. Remote LaboratoriesDuring the Fall 2004 term, three remote laboratory experiments were developed for ECEN4006 Fiber Optic Communications. The material accompanying the experiments consists ofthree components: simulations, video prelabs and

Finding contacts,making arrangements, and following-up with the industry contacts required significant effort.Also, these types of efforts depend upon a suitable local industry presence.Students evaluated their experiences very positively. With the second teaching of the course, forexample, 100% of the students in the final course evaluations named these on-site visits as an“aspect of the course that enhanced [their] learning”.

We are also faced with the challenge of how to meet these changing needs with fewer and fewer resources. The Instrumentation Laboratory Improvement (ILI) program provides funds for enhancing undergraduate labs. The intent of the program is to support innovative laboratory education efforts. Although the ILI project will enhance the quality of education, the process of implementing the ILI project can provide valuable education opportunities.
