After completing the finaltopic (calculation of incremental strains), the student is given full capability to simulate a varietyof stress and strain paths, such as true triaxial soil tests, including three-dimensional display oftest results. Preliminary post-test evaluation has revealed that the scaffolded approach allayedstudent concerns and increased student motivation.I. BackgroundThe Geosystems graduate program at the Georgia Tech School of Civil and EnvironmentalEngineering offers both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Students in both degree tracks are required totake four core courses: a course in fundamental soil mechanics (CE 6150), two lab testingcourses (CE 6151 and 6161), and a course in field testing

This paper describes the first phases of the transition of our distance laboratories frombeing lab-manager centered to a distance environment in which instructors, through the use oftechnology, can remotely assist students with troubleshooting and provide feedback.

The projectthat is being worked on is focused on how to update a PLC 5 system to ControlLogix in the leastexpensive, and efficient manner. To achieve this, the software of RSLogix5 must be accuratelyconverted to RSLogix5000 by first using embedded software that is associated with RSLogix aswell as user implemented I/O racks, controller properties, and troubleshooting of the ProgramConversion Errors (PCE) and many other compatibility settings.
