byincorporating Kolb’s experiential learning model to assure an optimum learning experience. Hestated that, in the absence of the laboratory, learning, including distance learning, ofinformation security technology is incomplete. As a result, online experimental sessions play acritical role for students involving into distance technology programs, including those having todo with information security technology.Many efforts have been made to develop remote lab solutions. A mobile laboratory was used in[2] for distance engineering courses. It was actually not an online laboratory solution. In theirpioneering work [3], the authors propose a remotely shared laboratory, which enables sharingof laboratory data between universities using networked workstations

IntroductionA recent report prepared by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology(PCAST) report, “Engage to Excel: Producing One Million Additional College Graduates withDegrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics,” indicates that the UnitedStates needs to produce one million additional STEM professionals in the next decade in order toretain its historical preeminence in science and technology. The report proposes that addressingthe retention problem in the first two years of college is the most promising and cost-effectivestrategy to address this need.1 The California Community College System, with its 112community colleges and 71 off-campus centers enrolling approximately 2.6 million
Session 2425 A Just-In-Time Approach to Teaching Senior Design By: Thomas R. Grimm Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michigan Technological UniversityAbstractThe subject of this paper is the approach used to teach the senior design project course inthe Mechanical Engineering Department at Michigan Technological University. Theprimary objective in the development of the required two semester senior designsequence was to insure a positive experience in mechanical engineering design whileeliminating the procrastination that can be prevalent in long term
sound and practical solutions for facultygrowth. Moreover, using industry to meet the professional development needs of faculty is ahighly viable solution.5I. IntroductionThe half-life of an engineer’s technical skills - how long it takes for half of everything anengineer knows about his or her field to become obsolete - is strikingly short. According to theNational University Continuing Education Association, for mechanical engineers it is 7.5 years;for electrical engineers it is 5 years; for software engineers, a mere 2.5 years.6 Keeping in mindthe pace of change and growth since these estimates were developed almost 10 years ago, thesehalf-life figures are undoubtedly even shorter today. So as technological changes gain
