The Digital Systems Design course has been offered in dual conventionaland distance modes for several years and methods for dealing with laboratory assignments anddesign projects have been developed and are described here.IntroductionDistance education is becoming more common and is very popular for students with fulltimeprofessional careers seeking to obtain an advanced degree. Most universities that offer distanceeducation courses usually restrict their offerings to classes that are largely theoretical and havethe traditional homework, report, and examination assignments. In engineering fields, thisrestriction imposes severe limitations to overall degree programs since class work that involves a“hands-on” component is not included

This approach allowsfor a greater understanding of the advanced sciences and an early exposure to the laboratoryskills, both technical and practical, utilized by the professional engineering industry. One way of accomplishing this is through the pursuit of research inmicroelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and the technologies it encompasses.
