toperform the lab.IntroductionTo improve and innovate the way we reach our constituencies in higher education, manyinstitutions have turned to distance education. Distance Education has manifested itself in avariety of ways within the forum of higher education. As technology has improved, a widevariety of delivery methodologies and pedagogues have emerged to deliver course material tostudents outside of the classroom. In the field of engineering and technology, we have facedsignificant hurdles in delivering laboratory content via a distance format. Providing a “handson” laboratory experience for a student who is not on campus has been an ongoing challenge. At the University of Hartford, Engineering and Technology programs have enjoyed atrend

In addition, accreditation guidelines require industry advisoryboards to be active within programs, emphasizing their importance.The need for increasing engineering educational relevance through industry involvement is wellrecognized1. Industry advisory boards are an important component in an engineering program’sassessment and continual improvement function, providing a feedback loop on how theuniversity’s graduates perform in professional situations2.
