combination ofboth factors are responsible for improved student performance. Additionally, these studiesshould attempt to delineate the effects of Tablet PC use by the instructor from the effects broughtabout by enhanced interactivity due to student use of Tablet PCs in the classroom.Similar studies should be done on courses with high attrition rates: courses that are traditional“bottle necks” for STEM students, and courses that are problem-solving intensive and requiringhigh levels of critical thinking. Finally, other software applications that promote interactivity inthe classroom should be considered in conjunction with Tablet PC use.5.

RIT’s engineering and engineering technology students are required to complete 48weeks of co-op experience prior to graduation, and one of these students, who was already activein the women in engineering programs at RIT, was hired to work on these two projects full-time.While the student worked closely with faculty members on many of the ideas for

As a companion for one of networking course taught in the fall semester of 2004,the laboratory has undergone extensive tests and demonstrated satisfactory robustness andreliability. The results of this work create a prototype for other institutions to adopt to developtheir own online secure laboratories.9.
