other questions show that studentsoften engaged in higher-level Bloom’s taxonomy activities, which were scored high oninstructor’s importance scale. One of the challenges electromagnetic instructors face is to decreasethe amount of challenge. In order for students to be engaged there needs to be an optimal amountof challenge so that the students don’t get discouraged and give up.Student Instructional Effectiveness Report (SIR II) is a survey developed by Educational TestingService Company for student evaluation of faculty teaching effectiveness. The survey consists of45 questions. Students answer questions on the scale from 1 to 5. 12 questions shown in Figure 20have been monitored in class and laboratory from Spring 2011 to Spring 2012.

efficient use of faculty resources by allowing them to teach studentsat both institutions simultaneously. Several courses have been taught this way since 2004, usingour videoconferencing facilities, with some travel back and forth by the course faculty to provideface-to-face contact with all students. However, these were all lecture-based courses with littleor no laboratory component.There was a particular need at NCSU to offer more hands-on biomedical instrumentation coursesto serve the students in that track. Because faculty were not available to create new classes atNCSU, the authors decided to extend an existing class at UNC and offer it jointly at NCSU. TheMicrocontroller Applications course was chosen because it fulfilled a void at NCSU and

This integration of teaching will bring various engineering subjects together asmost presently developed systems are an integration of engineering such as a camera,automobile, space shuttle, and robot. In the course, students reinforce their discipline specificknowledge and integrate it with new knowledge and applications. This requires the faculty tounderstand and have some fluency in the other discipline.

Since, as its name suggests (MATrix LABoratory), Matlab isespecially designed for matrix operations, we found this software as the appropriate tool fornumeric computation to be integrated in a “Matrix Analysis of Structures” course. ANSYS is a family of products used to numerically solve, by using finite element (FE)method, a wide variety of engineering problem in the field of structural mechanics, heat transfer,fluid dynamics, as well as acoustic and electromagnetic and coupled field analyses [2].

While virtual and remote laboratories are not new to engineering education, thereis an increasing need for these alternate methods of teaching due to decreased availability of labtime (from increased undergraduate classes) and the rise of remote higher education programs,such as remote graduate degrees and continuing education [4], [5].In this study, we perform a scoping literature review to explore the tools and labs available toPSET educators. Specifically, we focus on virtual and remote tools that might aid in theeducation of continuing education students and programs with rigid curriculums that do notallow for additional lab time.
