types of positions. The 32 most prevalent job titles are provided in Figure 2 with their observedfrequency.Figure 2 provides some expected results inasmuch as the most prevalent job postings are those withwhich engineering faculty and students are experienced. There are, however, at least two items worthconsideration. First, most of the positions are titled according to their organizational role (e.g. design,project, and test engineered) as opposed to their discipline (e.g. mechanical, electrical, and civilengineers). Second, many of the positions (e.g. systems, embedded, and packaging engineers) areinterdisciplinary and do not reside within any single traditional engineering major. Taken together, thisdata indicates that hiring organizations

exercise remotely. The paper concludes with an analysisof the project and a discussion of future plans.IntroductionAlthough the concept of distance education is by no means new, the offering of laboratory courses hastrailed the offering of regular didactic courses due to the presence of significant technical obstacles. Asthe network infrastructure became faster and more ubiquitous, many researchers [1][2][3][4] beganimplementing remote laboratories in some form. Among the first to be developed were systemproviding remote access to laboratory equipment controlling fixed experimental apparatus. As systemsdeveloped, laboratories began to include moving apparatus with mechanical uncertainties [5][6][7][8][9] requiring video feedback. Remote laboratory
