Can the instructional objectivesof the laboratory be achieved without the hands-on, practice-oriented experiences? But, moreimportantly, what are the expected outcomes of these practice-oriented experiences in thecurriculum? Can we define the attributes of engineering graduates that are developed orenhanced by a hands-on laboratory experience? Could those attributes also be developed orenhanced through a program offered via distance education?ABET, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and many others invested in the quality of education in

The analysis also derived common themes based on each of thelearning objectives independently. It was expected that the themes would be distinct for each ofthe learning objectives and would reflect the same aspects that were built into the surveyinstrument. However, this was not always the case. Instead some themes were scattered acrosslearning objectives (e.g., division of the team into smaller subgroups, communication withexternal sources, and having clear project and task definitions) and in some instances aspects ofone learning objective were found under a different learning

Considering the factthat the existing technical staff members are already overstretched, this in turn would require therecruitment of new lab staff. Finally, all of the above would require the expenditure ofconsiderable sums of money, which the department does not possess.Recently, the department received a donation of eight National Instrument (NI) EducationalLaboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (ELVIS) experiment workstations from NationalInstruments. Coupled to low-cost computer systems obtained by the department, the ELVISstations have been instrumental in the achievement of major improvements in the third-yearlaboratory

Engineering educators and practitioners believed that sufficientapplication knowledge was provided by the Technical Institutes, at which technicians andlaborers would be trained. In addition, research funding supported and fostered the perceivedimportance of developing new theory. This need for new technologies by industry elevated theperceived importance of the researcher.Through the early 1960s there was sufficient applications experience and corporate

A second way in which my views of this as a faculty member have been changed in thecourse of this project is in relation to how effective I think that the insertion of short modulesinto technical courses can be. My initial view was that there could not be much we could teachstudents about ethical reasoning in a one hour session but I have seen the ways in which these actas instigators for students to think more deeply about their own ethical positions and the relationbetween those and the work that they will eventually do. These modules act as ways to peakstudent interest and, as our data shows, can lead to further investigation of ethical questions. Asone of the participating faculty in the joint venture
