Distance learning courses are increasing about 10 to 20 % per year in community colleges. In many states now it is possible to complete an entire Associate degree on-line. Colleges are finding that they can greatly expand their reach to nearby rural communities and to better serve the so- called non-traditional student with distance learning. Distance learning is clearly a growth opportunity in many colleges; yet, little has been done in electronics. In the survey, several colleges reporting a growth
