There are various aspects of the teaching methodology thatcome from my work experiences. I had myself taken this course in this department in 2006 as apart of my MSET degree. It helped lay the foundation for me to understand the fundamentals ofProduction planning and Workspace design that revolved around the Human element. While itmay seem that, this field of applied science is very practical and mathematical, it has the humaneffort aspect which makes it particularly challenging. I realized this in my very first job.

. However, this alternative leaves lab experience limitedto the use of a simulator. Given that an Engineering Technology graduate should have accruedsubstantial hands-on experience, the skills obtained from a simulator are no substitute for thoseobtained with real-world hands-on experiments. To mitigate this experience deficiency in EET3085L, we propose an approach to allow online students to complete the same experiments in away that is equivalent to those done by in-lab students.In this paper, we examine the adoption of alternatives to enable online students to complete theset of labs programmed for EET 3085 at home under realistic conditions and propose guidelinesto achieve this goal.
