There is limitedlaboratory support staff and budgets to buy and maintain equipment. While many communitycolleges exist, the relentless teaching demands on the faculty and geographic separation tend toresult in community college engineering faculty working in a state of relative isolation. Anyeffort to attract students into engineering careers and promote technological literacy for non-engineers through community colleges must contend with these challenges.Topics Cited as Appealing by Non-Engineering StudentsEngineering faculty teaching technological literacy courses for non-engineers

for instruction. A current trend is to use trainers such asNational Instruments ELVIS platform. Dedicated training systems are relatively expensive. Thelongevity of the dual-in-line IC and breadboard is due in part to it being relatively inexpensive.The combination teaches the student the invaluable skills of circuit layout and trouble-shooting.Proposed in this paper is a new concept in the art of laboratory instruction which combines thecircuit trainer concept with the tried and true breadboard method. Using this concept, laboratoryinstruction can now be focused on modern surface mount components and ICs such as the uA741(and others such as the TL081 and TL051) in the small outline (SO) package.

Carolina University, located in Greenville, North Carolina, havedevised an interesting approach to offering a remote laboratory experience to their students:They create a virtual laboratory environment consisting of virtual machines, which communicatewith one another over a virtual network. The virtual laboratory environments are then distributedto their students, who, in turn, run them “remotely” on their own computers at home. Theparticular environment reviewed is a virtual network security laboratory used to teach theoperation of an intrusion detection system (IDS) wherein the instructor pre-configured therequisite virtual machines and network trace files9.By having the virtual laboratory environment hosted in the non-virtual operation system
