Using Power Point in Distance Learning Laboratories Richard C. Cliver Department of Electrical Engineering Technology Rochester Institute of TechnologyAbstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss using power point presentations to enhance circuits laboratories for a distance learning course. Students in this course meet with the instructor for one day instead of two hours for eight weeks during the quarter. Laboratory experiments with directions portrayed with diagrams, photographs, and words were given to the students to do at home before they came to campus with power point presentations. This allowed the students to be more familiar with the material before they

Optimizing Engineering Materials Laboratory Time with TechnologyBySteven M. Cramer, Nancy Ciezki, Hussain Bahia, Carole Kraakand Carole SchrammUniversity of Wisconsin-MadisonAbstractThe background of engineering students has changed over the years, resulting in newchallenges in teaching hands-on laboratories. Engineering design involves visualization.This visualization spans the spectrum from understanding how pieces of a structure fittogether to having a first hand knowledge of how material deforms, flows or fracturesunder different loads. Engineering laboratories provide critical hands-on experiencesthat build visualization skills at the same time that material or structure behaviors aredemonstrated.
