technologist in industry.An examination of undergraduate programs offered in a distance education formatreveals that engineering technology programs are conspicuous by their absence. Webelieve this is because there are no established means to deliver the “hands-on”experiential or laboratory component remotely. While much progress has been made indistance laboratories (virtual and remote-controlled), they do not, as yet, represent anacceptable replacement.When faced with the need or opportunity for a distance engineering technology program,institutions have addressed this by creating hybrid courses. Delivery of the lecturecontent is typically done in a format similar to what other disciplines do, i.e. internet-based video (synchronous or asynchronous
