laboratories.Historically, analog emulators were quickly eclipsed by digital computers as the desirable powersystem analysis tool, for both academic and industrial purposes. The limiting factor with analogemulators was the time required for programming and data acquisition. Programming consists ofconnecting all the analog hardware, setting initial conditions on integrators, etc. In addition,oscilloscopes and meters were required to observe and record the results. This process is muchlike typical hardware laboratories today. However, with advances in electronics, a new robustanalog power system emulator has been developed.5 Once constructed, this emulator eliminatesthe need for manual programming. The obstacle of time consuming programming has beenovercome. The

Due to this nature, normal industrial networks are usually kept isolated from theenterprise networks. In the same manner, the general approach to curricular structuredesigns in enterprise networks and industrial networks is to separate the two. However,the rapid growth of information technology and the continuing cost reduction incomputing hardware have stimulated the growth of computer networking in all aspects.The interoperability between these two types of networking becomes an important andvalid issue to be addressed.

Many basic tasks, such as office hours, help sessions and even lecturing, can be done more efficiently and conveniently over the Internet with the right collaboration tools. However, there are few commercially available tools that work well for engineering. Engineers have special needs like vector-based graphics that can be edited, equations, illustrations, diagrams and other hard to create images. These tools also

Regardless of the study method, a commondenominator is the lack of student support for self-regulation of learning. Self-regulated learninginvolves developing and using learning strategies [6]. Students can self-regulate their thinking andlearning through self-observation, self-evaluation, and self-reaction [6]. Self-regulation of learninginfluences a student's motivation strategies for sustaining or continuing engagement in learning[7].

The facilities required arefairly generic – a basic electrical engineering laboratory that utilizes LabVIEW, and some sort ofsystem that quantifies motion. While we were able to use a state of the art system, that is notrequired. Many universities have a kinesiology department which studies motion, or some sortof tools used by athletics to improve performance. For those without either of these available,there are computer programs that can quantify images collected on regular video cameras thatshould be sufficient for this training
