Example problems related to otherareas in the CE curriculum can also be developed as desired. In the provided samples problems,the effective utility of various loop structures, conditional statements, programming operators,special array operations, as well as user-defined functions is demonstrated. The redesignedcomputing course familiarizes the students with the full capabilities and special advantages of eachof the three selected software tools. The students can effectively utilize the computing andprogramming skills mastered through taking this course to develop the solutions to a wide rangeof more

classesincludes 10 high-end computer workstations equipped with dual monitors. As the students learnthe various simulation applications they create independent projects to demonstrate and developbasic competencies. Student teams are formed to complete industrial company projects. Theteams visit local manufacturing operations to observe processes, create simulations of theprojects, and present the results at the company facility upon completion, including digital videosof the simulations and PowerPoint presentations. At the completion of the three VS courses, eachstudent creates and presents a portfolio CD to the class summarizing all of their VS work.This simulation curriculum provides the following benefits to our students and our program: • Practical

, energy,environment, security, and quality of life for all peoples.”(1) There are many types of problemsolving involved in SBES; however, the simulation and solution of real engineering problems isvery important and often requires the application of numerical methods. This is one area ofproblem solving that sets the engineering students and engineering professionals apart frommany other disciplines. Thus the advancement of engineering education worldwide andparticularly in developing countries requires resources for the efficient application of numericalmethods by engineering students, faculty and staff.Access to software and the computing resources that can enable numerical problem solving is aparticular challenge to engineering departments in
various geographic locations.One of the greatest challenges in distance engineering education is the delivery of the ‘hands-on’laboratory practices. The instructional laboratories have always been essential parts ofengineering curriculum. Due to the size and the high cost of the laboratory equipment, it is oftenimpractical and unaffordable for universities to provide hands-on laboratory equipment todistance learners. Hence quality delivery of the distance laboratory exercises is a problemdemanding solution.Institutions offering online engineering degrees have implemented various methods to addressthis problem. Common methods include: providing students Lab Kits that replicate laboratoryequipment using inexpensive scale models; utilizing virtual
