In particular, by means of a soft-core microprocessor, the FPGA can implement an optical fiber peripheral device for a largercomputer or can be a modest microprocessor system with peripherals in its own right. Studentscan investigate various network topologies and protocols such as implementing a ring using atoken passing protocol.

One pointthe instructor kept noting was how his knowledge of reinforced concrete behavior improvedthrough a research program that included physical testing as a graduate student. There was notroom in the curriculum to add a formal lab component so it was felt that having the studentsdesign, construct, and test a beam would be difficult to add to the course. This was

It is important for engineersto know about the world for which they are designing products. I think that this is the importanceof studying engineering at a liberal arts college.

For some, the latter requirement was thrust uponthem without adequate preparation so they had to muddle ahead. For others, their universitieshad previously introduced their faculty to distance learning didactic concepts as a matter ofcourse, so for those faculty the transition may have been a lot smoother.
