Presuming that biomass production might provide(1) an alternative cash crop to corn, hay, or animal production and (2) a source of on-siteenergy for electricity production, the researchers developed a survey to measure propertyowners’ awareness of renewable energy technologies, to understand their attitudes towardthe use of renewable energy in their community or on their property, and to

students in STEM.1. 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

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
