A virtualfacility can have two purposes: a) to facilitate the feasibility study of an engineering systemwhile in the planning stage, and based on the study, designers can adjust the parameters duringtheir final planning so the anticipated system can serve its purpose and b) to study the behaviorand control of a complex engineering system for educational and research purposes withoutbuilding the system. The development of these virtual facilities can involve expertise withcomplex mathematical solutions with tedious software developments and effective graphical userinterface 3.

Many students were not fluent in English and often do notunderstand certain points made in an oral lecture. The recorded videos help to alleviate this problem.During the first course offering in spring 2007, all the students passed with the majority of the gradesbeing B or B+.

These standards wouldgreatly benefit this research, but are currently unfinished and a proprietary solution had to beutilized.Proxim AP-4900M access points were utilized for this research. These models supported allthree types of distribution systems (wired, WDS, and mesh) and are equipped with two separateradios. One of the radios was dedicated to 802.11b/g traffic, and one was dedicated to 802.11atraffic. There was no WEP/WPA security on any access points, and the AP was set to openauthentication.
