Therefore, it is very important for a department head toshow how they can recruit a new faculty member, and help them to attain tenure and promotion.The intent of this paper is to discuss some of the important issues associated with the

. Furthermore, there is some concern that the quality ofthe education received by traditional on-campus students with access to laboratories may bebetter than that received by distance education students. This has become an issue for bothUniversities in the US and the UK and in fields as diverse as Language and Engineering. Someof these universities have begun using simulator packages to try to create the laboratoryexperience for distance stories [1,2]. Some of the tools used by these universities are LabView,Virtual Network Computing (VNC), or providing the needed software to perform the labs [3].Due to the proliferation and common use of personal computers, it can be safely assumed that alldistance students have access to some type of computing

Furthermore, this simulator islimited to convex lenses, and does not address the differences that other optical elements make inthe ray-tracing and image formation processes. As such, while this software might be helpful to aprofessor as a demonstration tool, its usefulness as a stand-alone educational tool is limited.Other similar tools currently accessible on the internet or app market suffer from the sameshortcomings as the PhET simulation.

Educators and studentresearchers who must balance their development efforts with the pressures of classes, meetings,writing papers and seeking funding should plan on at least two years for their first simulation,possibly longer depending on the participants' backgrounds and resources available. During thistime VR hardware and software will change dramatically. It is therefore our recommendation toA) Start with the most advanced equipment you can afford, in the hopes that it will not becomeobsolete before the project is completed, and B) be prepared to upgrade or even completelychange development platforms during the course of the project.Step 1: Understand the strengths and weakness of educational VR.

Additionally, the wide variety of Rapid Prototyping methods, software, and documentationavailable will make comparisons among differing systems open to varying interpretation.

and rapid prototypes also. While solid modeling software is available at relatively lowprices even low accuracy desktop prototyping machines start at $50,000. Typical prices forindustrial models start around $200,000 and can exceed $500,000. The sharing of suchequipment among a variety of businesses and educational institutions seems to be a logicalanswer to the high cost dilemma. The added benefit of a better-trained student is equallyattractive.The advent of Rapid Prototyping (RP) gives industry and education the ability to model complexparts, after the production of a three-dimensional CAD file, in a relatively short time.Additionally, the advent of Rapid Tooling (RT), where the RP model is used to produce molds ormold inserts, lends
