In order to determine its effectiveness in distance education,careful assessment studies need to be performed in various engineering disciplines 2.Remote laboratories or remote-access labs are often characterized by use of automation andinformation system technologies to provide remote-access to laboratory instruments andequipment. In terms of the physical laboratory equipment requirements, the remote labs are verysimilar to hands-on labs. What makes them different from real labs is the distance between theexperiment and the experimenter. In real-labs, the equipment might be mediated

The need forsuch a course came about as a result of a new ECE curriculum, which emphasized junior andsenior level elective courses to achieve depth in at least one of the ECE specialization areas. Thenew course was intended as a catalyst encouraging the students to consider their interests indifferent ECE specializations as early as possible to help them in choosing their elective courses.At the time, the ECE faculty participating in the development effort for this course was stronglyagainst creating just a survey course, which would most likely lack the rigor of a typicalintroductory course. A consensus was reached to create a course with a strong hardwarelaboratory

As such,training for one who participates in humanitarian engineering incorporates history, politics,economics, sociology, language, as well as rigorous engineering basics. The nature of humanitarian engineering projects offer a unique opportunity to teach studentsthrough an approach that integrates theory with a practical hands-on experience. By creating alearning environment through helping marginalized communities, students are challenged withproblems that enhance their critical thinking ability and help them acquire new technical skills.Moreover, the service learning aspect of these projects contribute to

Although engineering programs continue to teach the technicalcompetencies necessary for this exercise, many new engineers lack the mental discipline toperform a thoughtful evaluation of their proposed solution, or a careful interpretation of thecustomer’s needs, some of which may not be clearly defined. We believe that there is a need tointroduce this skill as early as possible into an engineering program, and provide a vehicle for itsdeployment in a cornerstone class.The ability to build confidence in engineering “thinking” should not be overlooked in thefreshman year.

The course took a modular approach in itsdevelopment with each topical module having clearly defined and measurable outcomes with someindependence. Responding to those demands for a more sustainable engineering practice, thecourse involves sustainable circular designs as core promoters of a circular economy.

A key feature of this program is theemphasis on a Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach to engineering education. Under thispedagogy, students are assigned engineering projects that are carefully planned by the faculty sothat their completion requires mastery of specific sets of traditional engineering topics.Whenever possible, needed topics are presented by faculty members on a “just in time” basisthroughout the curriculum, so that students immediately apply theoretical knowledge to realworld engineering problems. This paper presents an example of the implementation of thispedagogy in a course designed to involve students in an ongoing research
