Furthermore, the software meets most of the softwareselection criteria, and it not only does the data manipulation, analysis, and control, but alsohas some multimedia authoring capabilities with the help of the add-on tools. The LabVIEWsoftware allows for the creating of application-specific templates to reduce the productiontime for the identical subjects. Many useful functions can be incorporated with the LabVIEWprograms to perform very useful tasks in a laboratory virtual instrumentation system design.Some of these useful functions9 are listed below: a) adding warning messages; b) providinginstructions, pre-practical tutorials and/or interactive tests; c) generating a test report or a datafile in a text format; d) printing charts or

The Pilot Program used 2-Way Interactive Television and was started in thefall of 1997 with about 71 students. Due to the technology limitations of the NC InformationHighway and other delivery methods, the ET Department proposed and received permission tochange to Web-Based delivery for the second group to be admitted.The rationale used to convert from face-to-face or 2-Way Interactive Television instruction toWeb-based instruction was to provide a means for graduates of AAS programs throughout theentire state of

limitedability to verbalize their knowledge. Researchers argue that proper engineering “intellectualbehavior” must be developed to the point where students become competent problem solvers withan ability to use learned skills in analogous contexts, that is, in this case, from learning electriccircuit concepts to their application in real-world situations. The purpose of this study is to explorestudents’ ability to justify real-world electrical scenarios and determine ill-conceived circuitconcepts associated with them by answering the following questions: How do students articulatetheir learned concepts in electric circuits? How do students use their learning of electric circuitsin explaining real-world electrical phenomena? This study used a qualitative
