semester,students are assigned to teams (based on their ranked preference), and each team is then given aproject that contains both electrical and mechanical aspects. Some past projects have includedcompeting in national design competitions, developing a student entrepreneurial project, creatinga prototype for industry, advancing a National Science Foundation sponsored research project, orhelping people in developing countries. Teams are typically made up of two to threeelectrical/computer engineering students and two to three mechanical engineering students. Allteams have a primary advisor from one discipline and a secondary advisor from anotherdiscipline to balance the expertise available to each team. The structure of the course follows

The student’s own achievement record orthe attitudes of any single teacher do not have the same degree of influence. One researcherstates that, “a student’s initial competence in mathematics and science grows out of familypractices.”3Parent advocacy and education groups have deemed that “parent involvement” is a necessarycomponent of student success4. The definition of “parent involvement,” however, varies fromstate to state, town to town and even school to school within a town. The National ParentTeacher Association defines parent involvement as “the participation

. The remote studentswere asked to email a brief lesson synopsis to the instructor for every lesson. These summaryemails provided the instructors the ability to keep track of their students’ learning while alsoforcing the students to synthesize the lesson material into a succinct description. The remotestudents were also given the initial guidance to maintain the same lesson schedule as thoseenrolled at USMA (1 lesson every two days). Within in the first five lessons of the semester, oneof the instructors was forced to hand-over the instruction of his two students to the coursedirector, citing time constraints as the major issue. The instructor felt that he could not devoteadequate time to the students in order to provide an acceptable learning

current objective form.VI. Challenges of Using Virtual ExperimentationA conclusion that can be drawn from the literature and the initial research into implementingvirtual experiments is that several challenges remain to be addressed.Objectives – The development and use of the laboratory objectives is a good first step, but it isjust the beginning of fully understanding how to use virtual experimentation. Some objectivescarry more weight than others. How different objectives, experiments, and even courses relate toeach other must be taken into account to decide what the primary purpose of each experiment is.If a primary objective is not satisfied by the virtual experiment can the objective be addressedelsewhere?Fidelity – Technology now allows
