Thisapproach also promotes collaborations among peers and offers improved accessibility to studentswith disabilities [7]. Unlimited access to resources in the remote laboratory context could havefar reaching consequences for education and can present a paradigm that promotes student-centric environments and autonomy that contributes to motivation [8].

Having to give up a good proportion of a regularnight’s sleep on a routine basis is regarded as a necessary component of being anengineering student. Amelia, second-year student at Oliver described her nighttimeschedule in this way and in the process made an illuminating comparison with working asan engineer in industry, which she regarded as decidedly less difficult than engineeringeducation.

Students are expectedto work in a group to develop a working-testable solution for a real world problem provided bythe stakeholder (e.g., industries or individual clients) [30]. Consequently, aside from theirengineering design skills, students must also learn and develop managerial and communicationskills. Working in a team is more than the delegation of tasks. It is about balancing power andresponsibilities among the team members to accomplish the design goals [33].Self-Regulated Learning Getting engaged in a design project is not simple and straightforward.

Its use was uniquely justified whena study was impossible to do experimentally because of its size (too big such as the universeor too small such as subatomic systems), environmental conditions (too hot or dangerous) orcost. Science and engineering done computationally eventually demonstrated to be generatinginsight, just like experimental and theoretical research and this ultimately led to therecognition of computation as a third pillar of doing research.28In practice, the scientific method has often been taught as a one

Developed in the late seventies in industry, CMPC remains the state of art in theprocess industries till today. Now, static processes in life and commerce vastly outnumberdynamic processes, perhaps by as much as 9:1 and, therefore, it is essential to teachengineering students, in fact, all students the wherewithal of how to achieve the bestpossible performance of static processes.Fundamental, mechanistic approaches to problem-solving should always be preferred but,when sufficiently detailed knowledge of the process or

The cut off was that the field of work had to directly relate to their discipline (ie.no general or part time positions were considered like retail, food industry, etc).
