Al- though embedded computers are powerful and flexible tools for industry, these very advantages have contributed to a corresponding increase in system complexity. In order to adequately prepare today’s computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering students for their future careers, the special problems with embedded sys- tems development must be adequately addressed in their education. In this paper, we report on our multi-pronged approach to curriculum development that specifically incorporates embedded systems into a suite of relevant courses: software engineering, operating systems, digital system design, and computer system

Consequently, differentapproaches for designing technology are needed in order to support users in achievinglearning requirements. To be well designed, these software environments should enablestudents to learn by doing, receive immediate feedback, continually refine understanding,and create new knowledge structures6. This role for educational technology extendsbeyond typical user needs, but must also aid in the learning process through informationacquisition, processing, and knowledge expression.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process which aids thiscultural change.Past reports and surveys indicate that there is a lack of trained and qualified constructionpersonnel. Increasing the construction skill level can be overcome by introducing standaloneBIM courses throughout the Construction education program and by establishing industrypartnerships1.Several institutions now have courses teaching BIM software in the architecture,construction engineering and construction management departments. In many cases the focus ison learning the software applications which are a part of the BIM package1. The studentsgraduating from such courses are not experts but do get a taste of BIM and what

The first step towards this objective consisted of implementing, as a prototype, a methodwhereby students studying Control Systems are able to conduct experiments on a small windtunnel system located in the UTEP Controls laboratory while off-campus via the Internet usingonly Web browser software and to view (near) real-time data from that experiment the sameway. Specifically, this allows the remote user to vary the PID controller gains and then monitorthe effect of such variations on the dynamic response of the air velocity in the wind tunnel

In this fast growingfield, there is a great need to standardize educational material and make MRE education morewidely available and easier to adopt.

end.The technology explosion we have witnessed in the past decade is providing a new paradigm forstudents to learn without the time and financial investment of attending the “traditional”university classroom. While the traditional classroom method has certain advantages, newtechnologies open up whole new student populations whose educational needs can be met byuniversities. Distance learning is not an attempt to replace the traditional university approach,but rather to broaden the ability of universities to fulfill their mission to provide quality educationto a more diverse group of students. Providing students with the needed resource books,software and weekly guidance, professors are able to teach with the same effectiveness as if theywere
