Teaching a Laboratory Intensive Class in a Distance Education Mode J. Moore*, M.A. Thornton*, and R.W. Skeith** Southern Methodist University*, University of Arkansas**AbstractA unique set of obstacles occur when administering a distance education class that has asignificant laboratory component. A class in Digital Systems Design targeting fourth-year andintroductory graduate students that is offered both in conventional and distance education modesis described. Because the course is design oriented, students must engage in several designprojects that would ordinarily be carried out in a laboratory to satisfactorily achieve the courselearning outcomes

Companies in the US must implement these methods to remain competitive.Universities need to integrate PLM methods into their curricula to supply graduates withrelevant skills. Universities will face challenges implementing PLM into their curricula. SincePLM is a rapidly emerging technology, traditional academic materials do not exist.Assessment of the skills gained by students will be difficult since PLM is a designmethodology, not a specific skill. Finally, PLM methods must span the entirecurriculum, not be the subject of discrete classes. WSU is currently developing a testcurriculum with a select group of students.
