The initial approach for developing thispotential incorporated remote site teaching. In practice, it involved faculty members traveling toremote sites to conduct classes on a scheduled basis. Often it was possible to link with acommunity college in the off-campus area. The host school would provide the

Activities are being orchestrated to give students not only the chance towrite but to practice their speaking skills. Beginning with a junior year fluids’ laboratory students will begiven the chance to perform informal self and fellow-student introductions. At this early stage in the takingof engineering course, the coupling of engineering skill acquisition and the means to convey the informationis evident. The importance of being able to stand up and speak becomes an integral part of a student’s life.Since laboratory courses require group work, the process of presenting information to one’s own small groupwill also be part of the presentation schema.

Student perceptions of learning indicate that this approach is engagingand effective.

continuing to focus on these systems throughout thecore courses, we will establish a “thread” that connects all these courses and continually placesthe courses in context, something lacking in traditional programs. This concept of a “threadedcurriculum” has been explored previously in a laboratory context 5 and the extension to the fullcurriculum is viable. As an example, by considering a biological cell, a biological organ, achemical plant with reaction complexity (e.g. polymer production), a modern material production(e.g. electronic grade silicon, aluminum), and a commodity chemical process (e.g. NH3or H2SO4)in parallel, one can demonstrate the overall applicability of the approach exemplified by the ChEparadigm, and with these five systems

Due to the high costs of the training units, it becomes a budget concern topurchase training units for laboratory sections. Some of the pre-built training units already on themarket have a price range from ten thousand to fifty thousand dollars per unit. If there are budgetconcerns for the program, the only option that remains is to teach theory without the benefit ofhands-on training. Taking these issues into consideration, the students in the IndustrialTechnology program have designed, built, and tested a multi-purpose renewable energy trainingunit for the alternative energy related classes.

Itshould be noted that for many students, it is their first time using this equipment. The typical oncampus course has many teaching assistants to assist students, but we frequently found thatstudents would not contact online teaching staff for assistance for the laboratory portion.A point of concern that some faculty may have is the use of a virtual oscilloscope and functiongenerator.
