Traditionally for teaching technology-based courses,laboratory experiments were offered using a hands-on approach. With the miniaturization ofintegrated circuits, it is becoming very difficult to construct a PC board or assemble surfacemount chips in a lab environment. This shortcoming of the hands-on approach has led professorsand teachers to incorporate simulation in place of hands-on in technology-based lab courses.

capstone courses between Xer faculty members;otherwise, one professor will have a lock on a course for more than two or three years. Further,when an Xer professor begins teaching a new course, that course should not be a basic course,but a secondary (higher level) one utilizing the basic course as a prerequisite. After teaching oneor more of these secondary courses, the more experienced professor is assignable to the basiccourse.This concept of having the senior, Boomer, professors primarily teaching basic courses whileleaving the more advanced courses for the Xers is reinforced by the learning differences in Mil-lennials and Xers.

For example, in teaching a class related to modern computer operatingsystems involving, say the Windows and Linux operating systems, it is probable that at least oneof them will go through significant changes as often as once per year, particularly if the varioustools that are used to work with them are also considered.
