At NJIT we added a collaborative and interactive distanceeducation delivery system into the distance education program which has been in existence for fifteenyears. This paper describes the implementation of that system and the results as perceived by faculty andstudents.INTRODUCTION Current implementations of distance learning come with limitations including: the lack ofinstructor’s presence; the absence of real time collaborative work among students as it relates to classmaterials; the lack of interaction among students, and between the instructor and students; and difficultiesassociated with performance feedback.

In terms of vocabulary, NLP assessment tools haveaccounted for 44% of the variation in vocabulary knowledge among college students [5]. Thissuccess has led to the development of Automated Essay Grading (AEG) or scoring (AES)systems, some of which have been tailored to engineering education and are especially helpfulfor (English as a second language students) ESL students [6], [7].While using NLP in assessment has valuable implications to substantially reducing gradingoverhead for teachers, it can also support teachers by breaking down or classifying what studentsare learning.

With the introduction of rugged grade mobileequipment by enterprise class manufacturers along with the advent of cellular 3G and 4Gnetworks, many types of data can be provided to field workers to help reach this goal. In additionto providing critical information directly to the field, other data including patient diagnostic datasuch as electrocardiograms (EKG) or global positioning systems

It is difficult to determine how prevalentcheating in within graduate engineering-related programs without systematic collection andanalysis of data. However, as one researcher stated after 20 years of looking at all the availabledata from focused research, “…no matter how one looks at the data, the prevalence of self-reported cheating is high enough for all of us—students, faculty, and administrators—to beseriously concerned. When more than two-thirds of college students are reporting that they havecheated, we need to pay attention.”[1]The author speculates that the

The rapid evolution of technology andneed for continuing innovations “suggests that students entering higher education must beprepared differently at pre-kindergarten through 12th grade (P-12) levels if they are to be readyfor the transition into undergraduate institutions working to provide a diverse STEM talentpool”2. The motivation for developing the
