Most of the old lab equipmentwas from the early 1980s and was irrelevant to today‟s engineering education. This gave faculty Page 22.1201.4an opportunity to revise the space. Designers

Faculty felt it was less satisfying than in-class instruction.Nonetheless, both groups feel the accessibility is paramount. It is also agreeable amongthe groups that this type of learning is more suitable for introductory or lower levelcourses than those of more technical and laboratory background. Also, classes thatrequire more writing (e.g. English or History) and computer based (e.g. Programming orInformation Technology) seem suitable for internet based learning.The
