In addition to the requirements related totechnology, educational impacts are addressed. An example of a Control Systems experiment isthen presented as an example of a functioning remote laboratory.1. Introduction The engineering students of yesterday have permanently changed the way we presentlylive and work with technology. It is essential that we take full advantage of their contributions inorder to prepare the minds of the future. Advancements in telecommunication practices havemade learning from remote locations viable, thereby granting access

Therefore, it becomes imperative to attract more women and girls into thesedisciplines. In 2002 at Purdue University, the student group Women in Technology invited aselect number of high school juniors who were at risk of losing interest in math, science, andcomputers, and their parents to the Purdue campus for an all-day workshop.

In engineering education, as in many other programs, it is required to raise the mentalskills as well as repetitive capacities of the student. Perception is generally deemed as personaltalent but it may be enhanced through the different stages of education and practice. Open-endedproblems, multiple solutions offered for a single problem, brainstorming, seminars, anddiscussion are different types for the required improvement of a future decision-maker.

Humanities classes, he says, “should stimulate and stretch the mind.” WilliamBennett, in his To Reclaim a Legacy, reiterates some of the great, fundamental questions of alltime that, presumably, engineering students have seldom found raised in traditional curricula. “What is justice? What should be loved? What deserves to be defended? What is cour- age? What is noble? What is base? Why do civilizations flourish? Why do they decline? What can I know? What should I do? What may I hope for?”5The essence of the new paradigm lies precisely in raising such questions and earnestly grapplingwith possible answers. Not a new dogma is thereby defined, but a new

engineering students visualize in their minds,loading, shear and moment diagrams in order to predict deflections. Freebody diagrams areessential to the solution of statics problems. It is wrong to deny engineering students theadvantages of visualizing math functions in their math courses. But the Dirichlet function andthe other “monstrous” functions that scared the 19th century mathematicians cannot bevisualized. Limit the first course in calculus to the piece-wise continuous and monotonicfunctions that the engineering students need and are able to visualize. Let us concede it isunsound to teach everything all at once and let these functions be studied in the order they werediscovered by mankind. When function sequences and series are studied, and

In the past,programs were evaluated using a set of criteria that prescribed most of the courses and activitiesthat a program had to offer to be accredited. If a department followed ABET’srecommendations, their programs were generally accredited.
