The rules were similar to theJapanese rules and allowed the 6 m maximum length boats to carry 480 watts of solarcollector and 1000 watt-hrs of battery storage in the two-hour endurance races and 1500 watt-hrs in the 300 m sprints. This gives approximately 50 percent direct solar and 50 percentstored battery energy in the endurance races. During 1993-94, eighteen mechanical, electrical, and industrial engineering studentsselected the solar boat project as their senior design project.

, mastery-focused tasks, and reflectivepractices could help students adapt to challenges and sustain motivation in demanding academiccontexts. For example, engineering programs could incorporate resilience-building modules intofoundational courses, teaching students to navigate setbacks while maintaining focus on self-improvement. Similarly, instructors could design assessments that prioritize skill mastery overcomparative performance to reinforce intrinsic motivations. Additionally, integrating mentorshipprograms, adaptive learning technologies, and industry partnerships can further enhance studentsupport systems, providing personalized learning experiences and real-world problem-solvingopportunities that cultivate resilience and self-efficacy.In

The objectives for the courses may be stated in terms of correlation with Accreditation Board for Engineering Education (ABET) Criterion 3 (program goals and outcomes) to meet accreditation criteria [ABET, 2005]. Although the course objectives allow you to determine course content and areas of emphasis for tests, they can also be provided to students to indicate your expectations of them. The student’s ability to meet the stated objectives can be used in evaluating your teaching ability. One of the ways to develop course objectives is to use Bloom’s taxonomy, which divides the cognitive domain into six levels
. IntroductionDistance learning (DL) is already part of many university programs, and its impact is increasingdaily. Such an educational delivery mode intends to serve the desire of both students and theirinstructors for increased scheduling freedom. Presently there is a technology gap between non-laboratory and laboratory classes, because the lecture-only courses were the first addressed bydistance learning (since the conversion is more straightforward). Further, engineering educationalso has a costly component that is not directly time related: the use of sophisticated (andoftentimes expensive) equipment. A subset of DL efforts is that of web-based laboratoryexperiments.This paper first examines the work of others in establishing remote instrumentation-based
